Hello,

 

Can I know your tricks to keep your staff ? Or are you all fighting with turn over ?

 

Thank you.

my thai chef has been working with me now for 2 years . she is very smart girl , but dosnt speak much english. and we teach each other our differant cooking styles .we have alot of fun in the kitchen ,and our working relationship is built on mutual respect . the wait staff come and go as the seasons change , hi and low . the trick with keeping good staff is simple . dont be a boss . be a leader . teach them and show them respect , and they will follow .  ohhh and pay them accordingly.

Do you run a successful restaurant or any other business in Bangkok?

I will be looking for staff for my new food based business and for a supervisor who can speak English well enough that he/she can work with me, I will most likely start them on a salary of about 20,000 THB with bonuses etc (travels costs paid, free lunch, insurance, etc).   After one year I would expect to increase their base salary to closer to 25K a month.



 

nop, i run my own resturant ,very successully in chaing mia. ..you are a dreamer pal. good luck to you  .

A few friends with restaurants targeting both expats / white collar thais in central Bangkok are willing to pay up to THB 25,000 - 30,000 for Thai staff that can effectively communicate in English (not fluent mind you, but enough to make life easy for non-Thai speaking clientele). 

absolute B S.

my chef gets 12000thb a month . and wait staff 6000-9000thb a month .

it doesnt really come as much of a surprise that "lager louts and yobs from australia and the eu"  hold the door open for you . its probly out of pity . pretious <deleted> .  

its not just in shops and markets either . i remember one evening ,going into town in a red bht bus with 2 other thai girls i didnt know . about half way there the driver stops and kicks us all out just so he can cramb in 12 chinese tourists . 

all 3 of us were gob smacked . since we were all going in the same direction i offered to shout them a tuk tuk ride the rest of the way . 

it turned into one of the most awsome nights iv ever had in LOS.

It doesn't improve the quality of the bacon you're buying, but if you don't want your streaky bacon to shrink and shrivel up you should place it into your frying pan when the pan is cold. A tablespoon of water added to the pan gets a nice result also.

 

Personally, I'm a big fan of cooking bacon in the oven - laid out on a baking tray with a tablespoon of water and away you go... takes about 30 mins which gives you plenty of time to deal with any other prepping you have to do.

when you do it in the oven like that ,try a lite sprinkle of brown sugar over it . simply awsome .

after 5 years iv never once found even a half decent piece of bacon ,anywhere in los , its all crap . and what really s , ,ts me is the way they all cut it so thin ,30 seconds in a hot pan and its shrunk to less than half its size .

Read the statement you commented on "you can't do any bar work"

 

you also said that he could only    act as manager . that is incorrect .

A cook or a chef isn't barwork

uuum yeah , thats plain as day . your point is ??

4 hours ago, FritsSikkink said:

you can't do any bar work, only act as a manager

not true . he could get a work permit as a cook or chef. if he has the qualifications , the same goes for a manager,you need to be qualified .  but the work permit will only allow you to work in the kitchen . you carnt wait on tables or any front of house, work . in fact you could be busted for just being behind the bar .  not only that ,if you dont make a certain amount of profit in the first year after paying tax and ss for your self and staff ,you would loose your company and all the money you put into it .  think carfully my friend .

Hi guys, I am here on a retirement extension of stay which comes up for renewal in Feb 2017. I have been a very good boy and done my 90 day check in as regular as clockwork but I did not realise that if I left the country I would have to apply for n exit visa.

 

whilst not the same it reminds me of Saudi Arabia where the authorities take your passport no discussion and if you want to go out of the country you have to apply for an exit /re entry visa without which you will stand no chance of leaving. I am sure members can understand the relief when you finally get the "exit only" stamp there.

 

how much is the Exit / reentry visa and how long before travel should you apply?

 

cheers and apologies for showing my ignorance

no problem . can get it at immigration at the airport befor you leave . think it cost 1900thb

Hmmm, what sprang to my mind when I saw the figure of 30k baht was that perhaps this was one of those "law firms" which advertises that they will get you an extension based on retirement for that sort of money, and the applicant doesn't have to have any money in the bank whatsoever, or visit an immigration office, because "it's all taken care of by the law firm" – – if you see what I mean?

thats exactly what i have done for the last 3 years . but it only costs me 23kthb and a trip to bkk immigration . to easy .

and that there , is the epitomy of thainess ,   

as far as i know they are illegal here . i would imagine that if you got caught with it on your person ,you could be arrested .

if the bloke is sick ,and on his own ,he needs help .  embassy would be the best first step .
