If your husband wants you to pay them, probably a good idea to pay something as a goodwill gesture. If he doesn't, don't pay them. 

Makes a change from flying to see his mistresses. 

Do you support (pay) your wife?

The family is just an extension of them, so you'll have to help to take care of her parents, too.

Either accept that its part of the Thai culture, however crass it may be, and pay up... or change your partner.

As soon as he is terminated, getting a medical extension is not much more than a letter from the hospital. Still not sure why his company was even involved, unless they were hoping he was going to return to work

 

The company handles all the visa and work permits of their staff.

Did I?  How do you know that they weren't asked?

Because if they were asked, there would be answers to the questions.

All you're doing is showing how inexperienced you are.

You didn't think to think that perhaps the police weren't revealing the full story when asked?

No,  you missed the point, they weren't asked. 

Asking for a friend here in Thailand, who's foreign not Thai, and in their early 60s

They are have been unable to work for 4+ months due to a sudden and chronic illness with slim to none chance of returning to the office of state-owned company in Thailand where they have worked for the last 10 years at in Bangkok.

The company has been paying them sick pay every month (more than the 30 days they are legally required to do under Thai labour law). They haven't terminated the employment and the sick employee has not resigned. 

The visa expired a couple of months ago and the Immigration have provided x2 60 day extensions on medical grounds - a situation that can't continue for long due to the sheer amount of paperwork involved each time from the company, hospital, and standard difficulties with immigration officers.

The company have said they will not renew the work permit, which is due in a few weeks, unless the employee can return to work (they can't). 

So will this nullify the employment contract without the employer actually terminating it, and having to pay any severance pay which might be included in the contract.  Presumably no work permit / employment contract, would also nullify the chances of any 60 day medical visa extensions. 

Any advice would be appreciated!

An Immigration Officer at the Phuket International Airport told the Phuket Express

So when the Immigration Officer 'told' them, they didn't think to ask the suspect's name, age or how long he had overstayed for.

Stick to running bars in Sin City.

Well done, Sherlock. It's been this way in Thailand for more than half a century. Nothing is changing anytime soon.

Exhibit A. Why any kind of progress in Siam will be a long time coming.

It's a shame the punishment wasn't more severe.

Silly, snide decision on both their parts.

Their names are noted now, for sure.

 

Oh, bet they're scared of some mean things being said.

He's a murderer.

Shame on the Thai police for allowing him to escape.

Good coffee - La croisette

Pool - there's a pool hall opposite Pontoon nightclub. All the bars have really bad quality tables

Good restaurants - a few nice Italian places

Girls - Street 136, Street 130. Plenty of bars around here. Pontoon is OK after midnight.

There was a sycophantic interview on Aseannow a while ago lauding Nate. Wonder if the author still feels the same way.
