Surely not Thai's fault! Will be interesting to see where they lay blame.

The ground suddenly moved towards the plane. The skilled Thai pilot then iniated a highly skillful go-around maneuver, as it had moved to only 800 feet of the plane.

It seems that way but what would make that difficult is Immigration coming to check on you in your workplace as a part of the process or is that not done at schools?

No idea.

I don't think immigration officers go around to every school checking all the teacher's visas every year.

How stupid, how many English teachers can a school have? A few dozen. So they run fifty through the same consulate. Greed.

Seems the story is that the people getting the visas were not working for the school, or working at all.

It seems that these people were selling what's needed to get a one year visa (via work permit).

Their best chance to catch him is with information from someone who knows him

it's why the reward for this information needs to be much more higher. 

In this case imo 1 million bahts is a minimum

If they wanted him caught they'd have had his name and face all over the newspapers and social media. 

If they wanted him to be caught by now, he'd be caught by now.

So what?

They're all still alive and well, aren't they.

Back to it today when doing their school run.

You do know that is simply speculation on your part?

There's no problem with paying Thai income tax for remote work while based away from anyside of the business in Thailand. 

The same as paying tax on stock trades and property rental. No Work Permit required.

Go to the Tax office, get a TIN which is your personal tax number, and pay your income tax that way. Some pensioners also do it as they pay less tax in their home country this way. No WP required for any of that, as only income earned in a type of employment that falls under the Employment of Aliens Act require a WP. Remote work, stocks, property, etc don't. ????

The Arabian coast? That's half the World away from that small country America.

What on Earth is an American navy ship doing there?

Savage.

Let's hope this complete and utter @#@#@#@# won't survive the arrest.

they say it’s pure jealousy

They must be wrong.

As Buddhists, Thais don't feel jealous, or act out of jealousy.

the bank contacted her to ask her to remove her post saying it had been seen by lots of people. They agreed their employee had "made a mistake".

Sickening people where there's money and/or face involved.

Have you had a look this week ?

Go down towards the River Hotels, and look again, very large sandbanks a third of the way across the river, the little boats moored 30 meters plus from the banks, and the river level around 8-10 meters lower than last year !

Exactly.

Downstream, from a point in Thailand that has no such issues....... oh, but it's China! ????

Meanwhile, up stream in China..........

The River Yom goes nowhere near China. 

If, in your geographical ignorance are thinking about the Mekhong and it's tributaries, this photo of the Mekhong was taken from Thailand, well downstream from anywhere close to China last week.

Say what? 

They were shut down last year because they were fixed. Too difficult to grab and win anything. Not because of some gambling nonsense.

*There is no written requirement that you need a ticket out or a hotel booking. But this is probably part of their "tourist screening"

Yup.

As I said:

Get a Tourist Visa from an embassy, book your hotels and print out the booking, book your flight out and print out the ticket, take 20,000 cash for your holiday with you as cash.

No problemo. ????

Unless, perhaps, this was something like last week. ????
