"What was he trying to pull?"  All TV members legs.  Objective achieved.

If that is all it is a bit infantile

Why did you not ask the Doctor,while you were there?,

Was the operation to cut that lump off your head,hope

it was successful,time to change your avatar.

regards worgeordie

It wasnt from his head silly it was the lump above his neck. Bur seriously, why did he not give his real name? What was he trying to pull?

Is the money that good in Thailand that you would want to take a risk and work without a WP?

technically it is 'exerting energy' that needs a work permit. So the next time you pick your nose, make sure you have a work permit.

The definition is so broad that it catches everything. Mowing your lawn, washing your car, installing a new light bulb etc.

It is up to the officer to make that decision but technically any 'exertion of energy' is considered work that needs a work permit.

It is ridiculous and that is why it is not really enforced for someone who is painting their own house etc.

If an angry neighbor (or even worse a competitor) however wants to make problems for you then it can become a real problem.

 

I have painted many houses and walls. I get my kids and wife to help me. The work gets done faster and it is then not only you working which can be seen as real work.

 

On that basis walking should also need a work permit as you exert energy. I can see where you are going on this but there has to be a limit as my rather silly example illustrates

Are the retail prices the same here in Thailand? I do not want to walk in a Rolex shop here just to find out they have the Milgauss Z-Blue (do they have it here?) but just 50,000 more expensive than in Europe.

If you go to the Rolex site on the Internet for Thailand they have the prices there so you can check

If you want to be sure you get a genuine one go to a Rolex shop. I bought mine at Siam Paragon but there are other shops they have

If you read a little more in the topic you will find he wants to open the account in preparation for a visa/extension of stay and is preparing to register his marriage.

Preparation is one thing I agree but it reads that he was applying for a visa based on marriage. Getting things together for it is fine I would not disagree with that, preparation goes a long way to easing the path

In places like Pattaya, Soi Cowboy etc the norm is to get as plastered as you can. Big drinking capacity for small brained people

You say you took your Fiance with you but are applying for a visa based on marriage. How does that work as you are not yet, according to your post, actually married?

I have been considering doing this for a while but don't know where to begin. I have a degree from Caltech, and would be very interested in helping to proofread scientific papers, particularly physics and mathematics, before they get published. I have some time right now and need some extra money.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation on what I should do and where I should go to try and get involved in this?

You could try the IET in the UK. I believe they are always asking for reviewers of papers

It seems the neighbour enters the apartment without being invited. How do they get into the apartment? It could also be a case of breaking and entering if previous permission has not been given by the occupant

I totally agree 24/7 protection and monitoring of all calls to their mobiles. I guarantee the scum bag will start that process with threatening calls from his hired Thai mafia ASAP and if one call made forget the financial fine. as he can easily afford, double his gaol/jail sentence as punishment.

I would love to say you are wrong but you are not. He is a brave man and deserves all the protection he can get

some expats will even tell everyone they "have a lot of money" but "are not stupid" as they count cash to pay for drinks for the multiple freelancers magically attracted to their table.

You they are not stupid? Nice world you live in I wish it was the real world most of us actually live in

Not a hero perhaps, but a man with true convictions and sense of duty that

cant be intimidated or bought by the rich, famous and the influential , Thailand

can sure do with many more like him....

In Thailand the title hero is justified. People go missing or worse for less than this guy is doing

I have worked for them in myanmar. Things i have seen. ?

The weird thing is the moguls normally head to burma for hunting. Just across the border they pay Karen or Mon groups or tatmadaw and they can shoot whatever tyey want. At the end of the fun they literally check out at border and pay fixed prices per carcass. That includes hunting in myanmar protected areas entering with Thai 4x4  ???

A friend of mine also worked for them and he had the same opinion as yourself

Maybe if they would stop shredding the useless information forms they require us to fill out, they would have a better idea of who is here and for how long. I am still amazed that there is no computer database. Why do they even have computers?

To play Candy Crush on, what else would they have computers for?

In all my years I doubt that I have seen more then 4 cars from Driving schools in CM.

They do exist but it's very rare to see them.

Bangkok has quite a lot. Just have to be careful in choosing a good one. My daughter went to one passed her test and now she is a very careful driver
