On the first departure from the country you will show both passports and immigration will stamp you out of the country in the new one after transfering your entry stamp to it.

Do you first need to go to your local Immigration Office, after your new passport arrives?

Or do you simply present the old and new passport when leaving the country on a border run, and they do everything at the border?

Well, enjoy the next 50 years living in a sweaty, rotting, jam packed Thai jail cell.

From what I see, friends that work in, or friends that have children in middle-class bilingual programs (35-45k starting rate) it's around 40% white South Africans nowadays. 

^ Thai Visa hoop jumpers and moaners know more than the Department of Immigration and the Ministry of Labor when it comes to immigration and labor law. ???? ????

They're hilarious. ????

you are not allowed to work on a retirement visa.

You mean a Non O-A?

I'm afraid you're years behind the times. ????

That 'Employment prohibited' stamp was done away with years and years ago. 

You're welcome. ????

Yes, it does. 

Not according to Immigration and the Ministry of labor. ???? 

Of course the people that have to jump through hoops at the command of the Thais get upset about it, it's understandable.

Well, then, if it's that easy, perhaps he should just teach in a school here.  ????

Working here, as opposed to online, that would require a WP etc. ????

I do understand why TEFLers etc that jump through legal hoops at the sound of a Thai's whistle, get upset at the people who make their living online legally without having to do any of that nonsense. It can't be pleasant, and sure it ruffles a few feathers.

do I need a work permit to teach online; students outside Thailand and money not deposited in Thailand, so totally out of country, except that I am here in LOS? I am on a retirement extension of stay.  

Perfectly legal.

Can go to do it at any of the 1000's of Co-working spaces around Thailand that cater to such.

Earlier the parents said he had been trained in how to ride the bike.

 

And my hamster fell off the wheel while reading that out loud. 

 

   How do you train a 13 year old if you can't ride such a bike? 

At a certified training school. Honda Big Wing offer such courses. 

Why is the price not listed in the article?

Oh yeah, click bait. 

Tokio Marine. 

They really are centuries behind, development wise.

I would have bought them lunch. It pays off in the long run to be hospitable.

It also sets you up a weak and easy mark. 

No doubt them getting more personal info that they case use later while dining. 

That must be it.

I wouldn't drive too closely behind them.

 

 

Nonsense. She'd have been in for a payday if one of them fell off and damaged her bumper with their head.

Maybe Thais should have to have a Residence Certificate, like we foreigners have to when buying or selling. 

They do, their Thai ID Card, can't even buy a sim card without it. 

You can get one too, it will be pink in colour, but will replace the need for a Residence Certificate when buying things. ????

My job is more or less to sit at a table or at the counter and welcome customers with basic questions like “Where are you from?” Or “How long are you staying in Thailand?”.

 

Quickly followed by 'Would you like to come back please?' if I ever walk in there.

Call the local immigration or labor department if you want an answer.

So there really are  occasions when noise ordinances in Thailand are enforced.

 

 

Only until the noise tax has been paid.

I think you should head back to Kansas ..... Thailand isn't for you.

Drunk driving and paying off corrupt police.... sounds like it's made for him.

programming alone to steal passwords is not something an untrained man.

Pretty easy actually, with all the Keylogger software out there. Just get a free trial, paid subscription, or more likely download for free via torrents.

Get somebody to click on a link that you send them, then there you go, all their keystrokes are logged on your program for you to see. 

So he was just driving normally then.

I'd blame the crimes he committed, for his arrest.
