If the company that offered you the job wants you bad enough they should handle the paperwork for you

When they would come into the Go-Go that I was managing just off walking Street to do these inspections the first thing they would say is lights on music down we might as well have closed for the night after that as we lost all the business it was in the bar and by the time they left it wasn't worth staying open.

They're probably not anymore

I have fun with these drivers that approach me on Sukhumvit near Nana and my hotel and tell me 50 Baht for 1 hour tour. I double checked the price with them and then I explained to them I only want to go to MBK so I'll still give him 50 baht for only that 10 minute ride good for him good for me well of course that ain't going to work because he's not going to get his commissions from the tailors and the jewelry stores he tries to get me into.

I guess it may come across as an insult. I worked here in Pattaya with a group of people I got a letter from the Social Security Administration here in Thailand regarding my medical payments into the system. I handed it to one of the heads of the office she looked at it shook her head gave it back to me at which I gave it to one of the other trusted employees who did the same thing. I ended up giving it to one of the cashiers ask her if she could read it she said yes she could I explained to her the other two girls just handed it back to me she said the reason being they can't read.

Agree a few sensitive types can't handle these poles move on nobody's telling you to participate

I'm not saying this didn't happen as they played it out but does anybody else find it's very strange that the assault on the girls in the bar that they said took place was not filmed by one single person yet this particular video I've seen four or five times from different posters. Again I'm not saying he didn't get what he deserved I just found it strange that none of the assaulted people for the people in the bar took the time to film that assault

I don't think this is ever going to happen and here's why. For them to make this run smoothly you have to have the revenue department working with the banks as well as immigration all three organizations will definitely need to work together. This is Thailand and I just do not see that happening. I may be wrong I've been wrong before but that's my opinion on this

Dumb as a box of rocks

By processing the work permit do you mean extending it? I couldn't imagine why you'd have to resign because I would be of the belief that the whole process would have to start over. Maybe they're just trying to get a resignation out of you? Are you on good terms with them or do you think you are?. Every year when my work permit was a week away from expiring it was just renewed from the solicitor that handled our company business never was asked to resign until a new one was issued seems kind of fishy but then again maybe schools are different

I don't have private medical insurance I have Thailand government insurance since I worked here for many years that covers everything and it works okay for me no hassles at all. I used to have a very good customer when I was working that was an insurance agent a foreigner. He told me and these are his words mind you coming from a guy that sells insurance. He said the minute a claim comes in the first thing the insurance company does is go into defense mode they have people that look at ways that they can avoid paying out the claim or paying less than the claim is for. He said that's just the way it is with insurance companies. Over the years dealing with them in the US I have no doubt he's totally correct. I'm sure some will say here they've had no problems and everything is went smooth because they're not all the same. But this information came to me directly from a guy who sells the product take it for what it's worth

Small condo block I live in has a restaurant across the way they have a pretty decent size menu many selections. At the bottom of the menu in rather large lettering it says please order what you'd like but please please eat what you're served.

You can't do it online it's by mail and that's the only way it can be done based on the Bangkok US Embassy website. They're only accepting applications by mail have a look.

I renewed mine not long ago and was told the only option was renewing it by mail they told me they no longer take appointments for passport renewal it all had to be done through the mail. It was kind of a pain in the behind doing it that way because you have to go online to a website to pay for it you have to get a bank draft for the return of the passport to you or I did anyway. I hope they are now once again accepting appointments for renewal although I'm good for 10 years.

I had an issue with a agent selling insurance but it wasn't trying to be sold to me. Here's the background. I worked and was on the Thai social scheme paid taxes and got my medical with the government hospital that I was registered with which was in Sriracha. I had a lot of work done at that hospital including a double hip replacement and I never had to pay one baht out of pocket. Thai government picked up the whole bill and they continue to do so. So I knew another employee that was in the same position that I was in with another company and he had the government insurance also. But he made an appointment with an insurance broker upon the broker pressuring him about needing really good insurance. Well I explained to him what I had went through and how good that government insurance is despite what many think. The agent told him it really isn't that good and doesn't cover everything. Well I was told that not only does it cover everything but if my government hospital can't do a procedure that I need they will send me to a private hospital that can and I will still be covered for that 100%. So don't let the insurance people try to push you into something you don't need or don't want ask for every option.
