Is the accommodation just for you or do you have a family?

Where will you be working? Wireless Road or Rayong?

What level of comfort and amenities do you want?

How much time do you want to spend travelling to and from work each day?

If anyone needs a proof of income exceeding 250,000bt plz contact me?

They will be required to pay tax on the income. That's well over 400k a year.

What are they going to learn in 14 days?

In the BKK post it is mentioned that banks can check the status of an ID card if it is reported stolen or not. 

That's great until someone opens an account in a mall branch at the weekend, or after 5pm when all the government staff have gone home.

If every bank checked every ID I think the District Offices would need more phone lines and more staff.

Alternatively, upgrade the system so that each ID card has a pin number, just like a bank card.

Banks could be required to allow pin changes for free at any ATM.

Unless you knew the pin number, it would make stolen ID cards useless.

But not recognized as cancelled at the bank apparently ?

You are correct. Certain businesses have the technology to read limited details from the card, but there is no 'live" checking for lost or stolen cards.

The computer system used at all of the District Offices is not exactly state of the art.

If her new ID card has the same ID number as the old one/s (presumably) that she lost how do they cancel those that were lost ?

The cards have a chip on them. Each chip is different. The card reader/computer system at the District Office recognises cancelled cards.

Right or wrong is like black or white. As you get older you realise that nearly everything is a shade of grey.

Are there shithole places in Africa? Yes. Are there shithole places in America? Yes.

I wonder how many of the places he thinks are shithole he has actually visited in person?

I didn't think ATMs carried 20 baht notes.

Condominium act Section 19 par. 5 stipulates Bangkok as exempt, where foreign ownership can exceed 49%. At the end of the act, Pattaya is also declared as an "other local government zone" with equal status as Bangkok.

I don't remember the Condominium Act 2522 saying that. I can't even remember reading the words, "Bangkok" or "Pattaya" in the Act.

I stand to be corrected though.

Where are you getting your info from?

Why don't the government add a pin number to ID cards, just like a bank card has?

To use the card for ID you would have to enter the pin number in a chip and pin machine at the bank/government office/mobile phone shop/etc.

The government could require all banks to enable free pin number changes at all ATMs.

I don't think that would be difficult - the same pin number technology is used millions of times each day anyway.

In addition, any stolen cards would be flagged up at the same time.

Why not set the ID card system up with a pin number, just like a bank card. When you use the card, you have to enter the pin. Really simple stuff.

The government could require all ATMs to offer free pin number changes.

Thailand 4.0....

The Vietnamese minimum wage is currently half of the Thai minimum wage.

Employ 1 Thai or 2 Vietnamese for the same cost? At what point will foreign manufacturers consider Thailand's labour too expensive?

You're not a customer. You are a contributor.

Customers of this site are the people who pay for advertising.

If you want to work you will need a work permit. You will need to get a non-B visa/extension of stay as you cannot get a work permit on a retirement visa/extension of stay. 

To get this the pool hall will need to be set up as a limited company, with 2 million baht of capital and 4 Thai employees paying social fund contributions.

If you want an extension of stay on the basis of working you will need to pay tax and social fund on a minimum salary of 50k per month.

If all that is possible then you can get a work permit for a managerial position, such as General Manager.

Your official job description will allow you to manage, not to do everyday tasks a Thai person could do.

Finally, consider that you can only own 49 per cent if the company (unless you are American and the company was specially set up to take advantage of this fact).

Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to go this route if all you want is somewhere cheap to live and a bit of a purpose.

You would save loads of money living elsewhere and being a regular customer instead.

I agree.

How do they differ?

The font and also the spacing is wrong. The correct font is very distinctive.

The copies I've seen are kind of similar, but also they are a million miles away if you know what you are looking for.

Get your 90 day report queue number at the same time as your ticket to transfer your passport details.

If you keep your eye on it you can do both at the same time. If you get called at the same time skip the 90 day report and get a fresh queue number.

One good way to check is using the numbers located in the attached photo.

I doubt if copies have them.

Means removing the wrist band as you can't see them properly with it still on.

Better quality fakes do have these numbers, although the font differs slightly.

I've always found the numbers on the date wheel (1-31) to be a better indicator. I have never seen a fake get this right.

I have Brit friend with Thai nationality.

He has told me in the past that you must leave and return to Thailand on same passport.

You must enter and leave on the same passport.

You can leave and enter on a different passport when using an airport (but not at a land border) - with the stipulation that Thai citizens should always enter and exit using a Thai passport.

Maybe I should have attached a photo to my post.

 

So a lot of parking lots for *motorbikes* have a simple segmented metal fence with one of the segments missing and two guys sitting in chairs, one facing incoming riders, the other outgoing riders.

 

For incoming riders, they are handed a simple token, and outgoing riders hand back the token.

 

There are no robots, cameras, RFID readers, etc. I don’t even think there is electricity.

 

So the explanation given in the first reply, that this token is simply to “prove” that you were the guy who parked the motorbike, seems to be the most likely one.

If you described the parking lot fully in your first post rather than your last post my reply would have been different.

The parking lot you are referring to is run by a farang who needs to employ four Thai staff to qualify for his extension of stay.

There is no point to the tokens and no point to employing the staff either.

The card has a unique serial number. This is used to differentiate between users. So, for example, when you park your car in the automated car robot in Emquartier, the system uses the unique serial number to register where the robot parks your car. When you scan your card to retrieve your car, the reverse happens.

I'm sure there are various systems in use, but in Emquartier, when you press the button to dispense a card from the machine, a camera in the card dispensing machine takes a photo of your face. Another camera takes a photo of the front of the car, including the registration number.

Upon presenting your card at the exit, all photos are displayed to the operator. Whether they take any notice of them is another matter however.

Sorry, but if you have to ask in a public forum then you have almost no chance.

Smaller exchanges only buy currency. This means they might only have Thai baht on the premises, and not a host of different foreign currencies.

Vasu or Super Rich generally have the best rates in town when it comes to selling foreign currency.
