Try www.odesk.com, as long as you are doing hourly work they guarantee your pay, these are typically long-term jobs. For work you bid on you set the upfront percentage and arrange payments for the duration of the work, this is typically short-term one day to two week jobs. Anyway, have a look. I have a full time job through www.odesk.com and pick up odds and ends as well. Good luck!!!

You've been in Thailand a long time, go find the highest ranking police officer in the province and ask him what is going on. Let him know that you are worried. if there is anything untoward happening he will sort it out and you can go back to being relaxed. If it is part of something the police are legitimately doing, then you can also relax, but if it a policeman with a secret agenda, you need to let khun yai know about it na khap

You're fracked! just move and save yourself the frustration of dealing with a mountain of ignorance!

If you have an apartment in Bangkok and have spent 5 Months there you are hardly a tourist. Try that in any western country with tourist visa rules and you would be denied also. my country , Australia, come to mind. 90 day tourist visa for you , no problem. leave the country for a day or so and re-apply, no way you will get another one.

All these ways of staying in Thailand without actually having the right visa annoy the hell out of me i.e. ED visa with no intention of actually studying. If you do not have the correct requirements for a long term visa i.e. retirement with suitable funds. married to a Thai with suitable funds or working here legitimately then you don't belong here other than for a genuine holiday. I have lived in Thailand for 6 years and work here. I never have a problem renewing my yearly visa as I submit the correct paperwork and meet the requirements.

If you don't have the funds or the meet Thailand's visa requirements legally then you should not be here as people trying on all these scams to stay here just make life more difficult for foreigners that live here legally.

What a bunch of BS. Senior member??? Well you are definitely a member, but of a different kind. People all around the world do the exact same thing, from travelers in North America bouncing between Canada, USA and Mexico to keep their tourist visa alive, to your beloved Aussis spending weekends in Amsterdam every few months ,, ah hem, enjoying the tulip gardens, to extend their stay in the UK. In Australia all you have to do is go to immigration and show them A$1,000 per month you wish to extend for up to 3 months. They will do that twice and then you have to go to N.Z. for a week and get a new approval for entry online. By the way, getting a tourist visa is completely legal for him as he stated, he doesn't work here. So maybe you should stop hitting the lager so hard it befuddles your senses and try to give some helpful and actionable advice with you''six years'' (my aren't you old school) of experience in Thailand.

I have three rules which have kept me out of somuch traoble.

1. Never take a tuk tuk anywhere ever.

2. Never take a tuk tuk anywhere ever.

3. Never take a tuk tuk anywhere ever.

any questions?

Change is the one constant in life. There are a lot of places I used to go to in many places in the world that I would no longer go to. I think saying that Q Bar, Levels, Bed Supper Club are full of pros is way off base. Maybe there are some, but so what. There are good crowds of nice people having fun in lively places. I think Soi 11 is a vibrant place and lots of fun to go to. Oh, and the comment about usable sidewalks,,, give me break, that's just Thailand. Maybe you should go to Singapore next time. Me, I'll be on Soi 11 at Nest, Levels, Bed, and my favourite Q Bar!!!Q :-)

Lucky you! The daughter is a reflection of her parents. I'd try to meet them and bring them some nice gift and show respect to the family. In Thailand being older is a plus for a man. My gf is 16 years younger than me and age has never been an issue.
