In the north in Chiang Mai try "Gaeng Hang Lei" which is basically Burmese curry

Yes she can if you are staying in Thailand with extensions of stay from Immigration.

Thanks for your help.

I am on my fourth yearly extension without any interruption in visa (actually haven't even left the country).

So it should be ok.

Thanks

Can a person working in Thailand for several years on a non-immigrant visa with a work permit get a similar visa for his wife who is not Thai?

Can't find the answer to this question after many searches.

I am from the US and work at a media company.

Thanks in advance.

These scams come in all shapes and sizes.

For example, big breasted NIgerian lass convinces Farang ENglish teacher in Thailand to cough up cash for passport and plane ticket, then vaporizes.

Actually, does not exist at all, actually innovative lady boy with a couple of photos and some Chutzpah.

Or on online dating sites like DateInAsia , i got in an accident, i need to pay school tuition scams .

If it's too good to be true, it probably ain't.

We have been told today (I assume by the Dept of Labor) that because we are in the publishing/media industry, we will not be allowed to apply for any additional work permits. The three we have at the moment (including mine) are fine and will be renewed, but no additional members of staff requiring WPs will be approved.

Over the last few years work permits in the media industry have become more restrictive, for example from allowing permits for "managers" to not allowing them, but allowing "writer" for instance. During the political turmoil of the last year, even tighter restrictions may have been imposed. All candidates have to have an interview at the Press Office of the Foreign Ministry. Acceptance or rejection might be sensitive to job title and whether you are an established Thai company. It might take two applications with the job title changed.

In the worse case, you might use the three positions that you already have as managers or coordinators and outsource the rest to elancers located at some indeterminate point in cyberspace to which the notion of work permit might not really apply. Good luck.

Or Chiangrai. There's a two story teak house on one rai of land for 1,500 per month down the road from our house. Mountain biking, hiking, jogging, and nature. I live in Bangkok because I have a wonderful special job there, but I can't imagine living there if I didn't.

Cheers.

Travel by train when you can. You can sleep with your dog or he can sleep on the floor. DOgs pay a fare of 80 baht I believe to Nongkhai.

In the north Aircon buses don't allow dogs so you'll have to sneak them on unless you want to put him in a plastic pet box. There's no problem on the ordinary fan buses though.

Please share the names of hotels and guesthouses, because almost all I've asked don't allow dogs. My wife has shown me pictures of a special dog hotel though with special restaurants and a swimming pool for dogs. Thais love dogs so there must be some way to do it. I'll have to poke around the Thai part of the internet a bit or ask at some of the pet shops here in Bangkok.

I have 8 Shih-tzu's and 1 German Shepherd who thinks he's a Shih-tzu in Chiangrai. I'm looking for a place to rent where on of them can stay with me in Bangkok.
