    Schools In Pai

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    Hi, I lived in Pai for three years, just moved to CM four months ago. The schools in Pai are not really schools, they are really just baby sitting. This includes the high school. I lived by the school and they never turn off the PA system. There is a lady that talks for hours every day, and then some man takes over. I have have no idea when they shut up and actually have school. The kids up there are stupid past believing. Offically according to the government as my wife told me, this area has the worst schools in Thailand. When we registered my son, the teacher told my wife we had a very good English program. I asked through my wife, who is the teacher? She said back to me through my wife. "I am." So i thought I can talk to her then without going through my wife since she is the English teacher. Guess what? She could not speak English.

    All of friends in Pai, the ones with kids and that could afford it, moved to CM to school their kids here.

    Just Hit By The Music Scammers- But For Them It Was A Flop

    in Chiang Mai

    Folks, the one thing that is being missed here is everyone of you is playing music illegely. You have to have a license in a commercial place to play music. Someone said they got something from the police station. The police cannot issue this license, they are not the authority for this. If you are legal and in complete complianse with the law, this thug cannot really do much. That licence runs about, just under 4000 B per year.

    The license authority for Thailand is a follows:

    Mr.Teerayut Tubprasit

    Senior Assistant Licensing Manager

    JV: MCT - Phonorights

    Tel : 0-2641-5211-3 ext. 132

    Fax : 0-2203-1009

    Mobile:
    087-22222-07

    With this come official documents for police procedures, (correct ones) to examine your premises. If the police do not follow these, they are the ones in trouble not you. You do however have to have a lawyer that is not afraid of his shadow, or on the take with the police to cause legal problems for the police and these thugs.

    You need to understand, if no licence, your breaking the law, your the one in the wrong and so are leaving your self open to anything.

    I have all the procedure documents here with me, in both Thai and English, however I don't know how to post them here on Thai Visa.

    With these in hand, I would give them to this invading Thug, and tell him to get the hell out of my business. It shows him you know more about this than he does.

    I just managed to copy and paste one of the documents. This should help.

    UNDERTAKINGS WHENEVER RIGHTS IN THE USE OF MUSIC ARE EXAMINED
    1. Check the musical CDs you have been using to which recording company owns them in order to ensure that they are under protection of JV:MCT-Phonorights(which has taken care of more than 800,000 international songs) pursuant to commercial logos shown below.
    2. Ask for the Power of Attorney (original copy and authentic signature) of that arrestor to find out which recording company he/she acts for and which song(s) he/she is arresting for.
    3. Ask for his/her staff ID card to find out which recording company or company he/she acts for and also ask for the police officer ID card.
    4. If you get arrested for any musical copyright, please be advised to go to the police station of that area to make a police report.
    5. Absolutely make no payments. Also list songs, music albums and singers in such police report before bailing yourself out. For more information about the copyright of international songs,please contact KhunTherayuthat Tel. 087-2222207, Assistant Manager, the Department of Copyright, JV MCT-Phonorights
    END OF DOCUMENT
    Everyone here, needs to get legal. You don't need to hire bodyguards, hitmen, or storm the police station in numbers. You need to be licensed to play music so you can legelly tell this thug to go away. Now you have the law on your side. In the document above, see numbers 2 and 3. If they don't have this, they ain't got shit. The license covers SonyBMG, Sony Music, Universal, Warner, EMI, and couple others. 800,000 songs in all.
    The licence needs to be framed and in easy view, like on the bar where I have mine. It also come with a door sticker that says
    MPC - WE ARE LICENSED TO PLAY MUSIC.
    I also have a "Hotline" I can call.
    I have a bar and restaurant here in CM. I hope the above info is useful to all of you.
