It can be a 51/49% partnership with your wife. Part of it could be your wife's business and then your consulting business to get the work permit. You position could be as a manager or managing partner.
thanks UbonJoe , and as a managing partner part of my tasks can be consulting and working as a computer technician?
and wife's business could be any type of legal business?

thanks for the replies so far. to clarify.
my aim is to get a work permit to work in IT as a consultant\technician for some type business owned by myself\my wife. In my experience having a computer consultant only business may not be viable as my Intellectual property is all in my head and not easily transferrable to 4 Thai workers to make a successful computer consulting business.
Hence my thought to have company that can major in a different type of business but also sidelines in computer consulting\technician work. My plan is not to work in retail sales\taking money or similar role. my plan is to stick to jobs that I have skills in.
I would bill through the company that is created. While I might continue to do work remotely to international customers, the plan would be to be able to legally in Thailand to Thai customers and bill through a Thai company owned by myself and my wife.
are there any suggestions to achieve what I want and to stay within the rules to get and keep a work permit?
would a retail IT\electronic\accessories type retail shop be more realistic approach?

wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question
if my Thai wife and I start a business for example a coffee shop or another business and have the necessary Thai employees to qualify for a foreigner work permit.
can I add on a computer consulting side gig (which is my current job in Australia) to the coffee shop and get a work permit as a computer technical\consultant?
thanks in advance

Seems particular for your school. Certainly not a general requirement.
one of the guys on the Bangkok podcast works for a large uni in BKK
he talked about the same form he had to fill out as being a lecturer at the uni in the podcast from 2 weeks ago.

I haven't written my $$ off, I am happy with the offer of rebooking on the same flight number\path in the future ,
I guess we have to wait till they actually start flying to get the opportunity to rebook, not answering phones or emails in Australia ATM

sorry if I am hijacking the post, why is Poi Pet one of the worst crossings?

thanks for pointing me back to #15
all clear now.

Hi again
Just did the mains off multiple outlet test.
Pump action and pressure the same.
By buying and installing a higher wattage rated pump - does this increase the pressure of the water in the pipes and put pressure or the amount of water throughput or both?
Thanks
-
thanks for all the answers and for working through this with me.

G'day,
This time turned off the mains and ran for 5 mins with multiple outlets running, no sputtering this time.
On the individual outlet test.
The pump turns off and on several times each minute, same operation with each outlet turned on individually.I thought the pumps job was to pressurise all the internal pipes and therefore the pump should activate immediately when a tap is turned on, correct or not?

First turn off the pump and check.
then turn off the main water from the street and turn the pump back on and check.After that turn the mains supply back on and check both the house supply and while you have at least one outlet running go and check to see if your water meter is running backwards.

in most manually switched systems at least 1 valve should be normally closed.
please report the results of the tests.
after seeing so many valves on the pipes, I thought that maybe the initial request check might not prove anything, so didn't do them.
After reading your recent follow up message, I did the tests this morning.
here are the results
First turn off the pump and check.
A: Same water pressure as with pump on initially, after about 30 seconds water output slowed to a trickle
then turn off the main water from the street and turn the pump back on and check.A: Same pressure as with mains on, after about 45 seconds air pockets appeared in the pipes so that the out flow began to sputter
After that turn the mains supply back on and check both the house supply and while you have at least one outlet running go and check to see if your water meter is running backwards.
A: the meter continued to move forward not backwards.
hope this helps and it means more to you than me?
thanks again

Thanks again for your reply.
One point you made stood out to me.
Should the pump immediately turn on each time a tap is turned on and remain on until the tap is turned off ( thereby keeping the system under pressure)?
Currently the pump turns on about 5 seconds after a tap is turned on , stays on for about 4 seconds then stops, then after about 15 seconds of no pump activity it comes comes on for another 4 seconds.
All the while the shower on the first floor has been running.
Hope this helps. -

thanks again for the helpful tips guys, When we return I will dismantle the numerous amount of mess (various household items) around the pump and tank so I can take some clear shots of the setup.
in regards to the PSI comment by grobec
17 hours ago, grobec said:as for pump size 350 watt or even up to 600w will definitely help with water pressure on the second floor.
THE PRESSURE OUTPUT (psi) of most wattages is virtually the same. Think of it as adding torque rather than rpm.
when the system layout is corrected if needed, and buying a higher wattage pump, do you mean the pressure will stay the same but the flow (amount of water coming out of the output) will increase?
there is a small water heating unit on the second floor, i assume it is necessary to make sure the pump wattage\flow is not too much for it?

thanks very much for the follow up answer sometimewoodworker, I will try what you suggested and report back. We are away for about 8 days so will do on our return.
another point of note is that the house in in a group of 16 double level townhouses, we went into one of the neighbors homes to check their setup and pressure. They have the same pump and water storage. Their pressure was even less than ours. every home appears to have their own water meter. We are in the Bang Khen area of Bangkok. House iis 9 years old.
When using water in the house the pump is not activated, the pump runs after sometime, (not knowing how it really works) it seems like when the level of water drops in the storage unit the pump kicks in and raises the water level in the storage unit. But it still perplexes me how the water is pumped to the second floor. Can anyone spell it out the pump pressure process of this type of system?
Hopefully the extra information is of some use.

so if the water pressure coming from the street is so low, then would upgrading the electric water pump inside the home from 150W to 350W have no effect on the pressure inside the house?
I have no idea about how the water is setup, if we have mains pressure system here or how the water is pumped throughout the house
will attach some pics of the pump and water storage,
thanks for any helpful responses.

some time ago I posted this topic about low water pressure at home.
as I am in Thailand infrequently I have just been dealing with the lack of water pressure for now.
Strangely today the water pressure increased substantially.
does anyone know is it possible that because of the population exodus from BKK the pressure in water inside the house would increase?
or is it just a coincidence?
thanks in advance.

thanks everyone
going to fortune tomorrow, hopefully the warranty team will fix while I wait or I'll get a replacement.

Hello all
just had a hardware failure and the manufacturer is delaying an on-site warranty fix. Need to buy new now.
what is the latest info on where to get the best deal on laptops in BKK?
thanks in advance to all helpful suggestions.

Does anyone know where to buy organic (no pesticide) in BKK? Northern suburbs preferred
Thanks!!

hi everyone,
this page says
https://www.thaivisa-news.com/ship-household-items-to-thailand-for-retirement/
household items are duty and tax free for those on retirement visas. Is it the same for my wife (Thai National) and myself being on a non O visa?
anyone know of any official website for info?
thanks in advance.
