A good solid kick to the jewels and then castrated is what he deserves.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. Ill take a look at the PGA site. I wouldn't mind Vietnam or even Cambodia.

Hopefully his cell mates find out what he's in jail for.

Looks a tad longer than 1 meter

Thanks Bikkii. I figure there is a lot of luck involved. Most of the courses in Phuket didnt have more than 1 foreigner working there. Ill keep contacting the golf courses and searching. Coming back there for a 6-8 weeks may be a good idea if I can swing it. I've even registered with some websites that recruit golf professionals globally but my hopes are not too high. Ill have a look at China and see if there are any options there.
Thanks again for the advice.

What is your qualification? Do you play off scratch and been accredited for this?
If not, then your options are limited. You may however find a job through sales/marketing similiar to what the hotels do with selling timeshare. Must have a uni degree for that though.
More info would help with your query?
Thanks for the reply Bikkii.
I graduated from College here in Canada with Professional Golf Management degree. The course covered all aspects of running a golf course and was a 3 year program. After college I worked at a number of different courses in the pro shop and was planning on going for my CPGA card but had a bad motorcycle accident that summer and didn't get back to the golf course for over a year. I accepted a job working onboard cruise ships running the golf program. I worked on 4 different ships over 3 years and when I decided I was finished and returned home I went for my CGTF certificate which is similar to the CPGA card but aimed more at golfers that want to focus on instructing.
The golf is only seasonal where Im from in Canada so I decided to get a sales job and did that for nearly 5 years. I took a vacation to Phuket and while I was there I was offered a job running a bar on Bangla Rd with a full work permit and good salary. After 6 months in Phuket I was offered a job by my neighbour helping to run his golf apparel/event company. He worked in the Oil and Gas industry and was usually away from Phuket so he brought me on to manage the day to day operations. After 6 months he was transferred to the middles east and was not going to put much money or effort into the business so when my 1yr visa expired I decided to return home. I have some expat friends working at the golf courses in Phuket and I checked with them before I left but there were no positions available at the time.
I accepted a sales job when I got back to Canada but was laid off in the summer after a year with the company. I've realized since coming home again that I really don't want to be here. I have looked for golf positions in other areas in S.E Asia as well but haven't had any luck. I actually did like living in Phuket, I rarely went into Patong and found a home to rent in one of the quieter area's but I would be open to a position almost anywhere in Thailand.
Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks again for the reply

Im really hoping someone can offer some advice or help on finding a golf job in Thailand. Last year I lived and worked in Phuket and worked for a small golf apparel and event company. The owner worked in the oil and gas industry but was transferred to the middle east and basically closed down the business. I would really love to find a position at a golf course but Im open to any golf position that may be available. Ive spent hours searching online and sending my resume to courses and businesses but haven't had any luck so far.
I would really appreciate any suggestions or help. I did enjoy living in Phuket and had a place in Kathu but Im open to other parts of the country.
Thank you for your help

The money made back from the bars staying open late was worth the monthly bribes. I worked at a bar on Bangla and often made the monthly payments. We also had to pay to be able to put chairs and takes on the sidewalk in front of the bar. We often stayed open until 4am and never had an issue with the police unless the music was too loud, we also turned the outside barsign lights off.

Have you checked with any of the agencies on the island? I looked a lot online and contacted the agencies through the websites and arranged to go and see the house. I lived in Patong on the hill near Sea Pearl Villas and liked that I was far enough from the bar scene but could still get in once and a while. Maybe look in the Karon or Kamala beach areas?

I was told there isn't even a saying for common sense in the Thai language.

I'd be shocked if they could actually keep to the time they quoted. Had the water off for over three days when they were performing some "quick routine repairs" a couple years back.

I guess all the sellers out on Bangla rd. promoting the ping pong shows aren't enough help for the cops to find the sex shows. If they really struggle the sellers have the promotional flyers describing each of the sex show acts. That may be a good place to start!

Weekend market in Phuket Town brings a bunch of different food vendors. Really good fried chicken for a low price plus all the usual cart foods and more.

I guess the "bank transfers" haven't gone through yet.

The poll they took was only with the workers that were able to talk, there are probably a lot more hidden away.

I met him a couple of years back at the Loi Krathong festival. Definitely an intimidating man. His son has his hands on everything in Patong as well.

I hope word gets out to the other prisoners and they don't segregate him from the general population.

I drove by that section on my way to work everyday for a year always wondering if the section would ever get repaired properly. I'm still not confident it will get fixed correctly this time.

I have no faith in the cops finding the gang responsible even if one of the members walked up and slapped the cop.
-
They really need to clean house in Phuket, I'm not sure if there is even one officer worth saving.
-
The cops should put the smugglers and all 300 cobras in a small locked room for about an hour!

Looks like a reticulated python in the pic. I knew they were in Indonesia but wasn't aware they could be found in Thailand as well.

This story is getting more interesting as new facts get released. This could make for a great movie. I would love to see Ken Jeong (Mr. Chow from the hangover movie) play the part of the monk.

Just take a walk down beach road anytime of the day, there are a few more than 7 of them.
Guess these ones forgot to pay their tea money
