There shouldn’t be anything to pay for you because the employer should take care of it. I would be odd to hire someone and then charge him for things that he requires to perform his duties. Similarly, for any “documentation” required, your employer should take care of this. 98% of the paperwork has to come from them; the only paperwork required from the employee should be the passport, basic personal information, photos, and maybe a CV if I recall correctly. The health check is something they may ask you to get yourself and give it to them but even this should ideally be arranged and paid/reimbursed by the employer. A good HR/employer has a standard process for all this plus people helping you through it. how was it done by your current employer?

How you do it back home?

Bad enough to disrespect other people’s property and destroy a piece of art. Even worse to not have the guts to apologize and pay compensation. I hope those morons face justice.

Thanks, will discuss with a dermatologist. Any dermatologist you would recommend btw? I’m already seeing 2-3 different ones but don’t really know how good they are.

Is Tacrolimus Ointment available in Thailand? Apparently this worked for another guy who got the same issue from his Covid infection. https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-20330/tacrolimus-topical/details

Angular cheilitis and eczema/cheilitis of the lips (ie., dry, inflamed, cracking lips and corners of the mouth). Started while I had Covid and didn’t go away even two months later. Tried Bepanthen, lip balm, different steroid cremes and now some anti-fungal creme (all prescribed by dermatologists here). Even changed toothpaste and started taking Vitamin B. Two dentists and an ENT doc looked into my mouth and confirmed no oral thrush. One dentists thought I had an allergic reaction (thus the change of toothpaste). The last dermatologist swabbed my lips and looked at it under the microscope and thought there’s some fungi (and prescribed a week of an anti-fungal Creme which I have almost finished). My lips are covered in Vaseline the whole day pretty much but there’s no significant improvement (once I stop using the Vaseline, within hours I can feel and see it creeping back). I saw online that many people have issues with this and that I can be difficult to get rid of. I saw this creme mentioned as it seems to combine anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and steroid features and thought I’d give it a try.

Thanks. Do you plow if pharmacies (or doctors) in Thailand can mix a customized creme for me? This Alternative you posted doesn’t seem to have the same four active ingredients. Where I’m from it’s common that dermatologists write a prescription which is more a list of ingredients and then you take that to a pharmacy and they will mix that creme for you.

Does anyone know whether Timodine cream is available in Thailand or what the equivalent would be? https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/203/pil

Correct. I am not aware of age restrictions regarding cannabis sale or consumption. What law exactly is that? Think? What does the law say? What “basic laws”? You didn’t mention any such laws. And your Wikipedia article (which I don’t necessarily consider a proper source for legal questions anyway) also doesn’t mention any such laws.

I meant what I wrote. It’s not my fault that you didn’t read what I wrote. I didn’t write that’s is like a stone or fresh air. I wrote that “For the most part, Cannabis has the legal status of stone or fresh air”. According to what law exactly? I am not aware of any such age restrictions. Not sure why I would spend time at the police. But thanks, and indeed there are great Thai lawyers, some of which I work with on a daily basis. Provides a different perspective about the legal system in Thailand than the barstool nonsense that’s being parroted by some farangs.

I would let my lawyer do that if I think there’s reason for it. I wrote “for the most part”. No, that’s not correct. The law doesn’t say anything about THC levels that can or cannot be smoked and it doesn’t say where it can be smoked. This would imply that you’re smoking in public, thereby violating laws against causing public nuisance. So I don’t understand why in such situation you would want to explain the legal status of weed to them, or why you would think that there’s reason to do so. The police would have arrested you for causing public nuisance, not because you have THC in your system.

I don’t think so (and anyway it’s not up to the police to interpret laws because that’s what courts do). For the most part, cannabis has the legal status of a stone or fresh air. It’s simply a substance that exists and it’s not in any way regulated or even criminalized by laws. Minor exceptions are certain extracts as well as laws against causing public nuisance (which I don’t think even mention cannabis specifically but can be used against many different things including drinking in public). Put differently, there doesn’t seem to be anything in the law according to which you cannot sell, buy or consume cannabis.

I’m wondering what law that is. I understand there are laws against causing public nuisance which could apply in this situation, same as it would apply to drinking in public. Other than this, I am not aware of any laws criminalizing cannabis, but that it currently has the same legal situation as a stone or fresh air.

It’s stamped into your passport. We’re all adults and capable of obeying the laws and if not then there’s nothing to complain and no one else to blame than us.

That’s nonsense, of course. Not all Thais are poor villagers who care about Sinsod. I‘m glad my gf rolls her eyes about these antique traditions. Otherwise I would run.

If you’re white, below 40yo, and don’t look like Quasimodo, you’ll definitely enjoy being the token guy for the Thai ladies.

Indeed a rather strange story. Yesterday there was a post on Reddit using the same photo. That person was asking for help because his friend went missing. He mentioned the last he knows was that his kayak capsized in Khao Sok lake and everyone thought this guy is talking BS because why wouldn’t the person who saw him capsize help him instead of informing Someone far away? And anyone who has been to Khao Sok knows that’s it’s a completely quiet lake. The only way to drown or wear a life jacket there is if you really cannot swim. We would just jump into the water from our kayaks without a life jacket and swim. There’s not currents or waves or anything. I’m also not aware of any dangerous sea animals.

Again, read the topic before posting off-topic. Or don’t insert yourself into a discussion if you’re unable to understand what the topic is.

Maybe you should read the first dozens of posts in this thread which all said stuff like this about Thai men. Isn’t it quite telling that a bunch of white men can write pages of racist comments about Thai men without anyone even noticing, but the moment someone pulls the same racism against white men people get all offended? That should tell you a bit about what “racism is quite widespread” here.

You claimed that it makes a difference if an underage prostitute pretends to be of legal age. What the other guy pulled from an unofficial English translation of the penal code doesn’t support that, so I’m not sure what “exactly” you “figured” other than that you’re still lacking proof for your claim. Visit the ราชกิจจานุเบกษา, pull the penal code, then post a screenshot of the page where it says that underage prostitution is ok if the prostitute pretended to be of legal age or where it says that that is “‘mitigating circumstance”. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. And that’s why you keep dancing around here.

Next time you wanna insert yourself into a discussion, try to understand what the topic is before looking like a fool.

No, it isn’t. You’re confusing legislature with judiciary and executive.

Again, the Thai penal code. I can’t quote something that doesn’t exist. If you want to know what a law says you read it. Read it. I can’t help you with that.

I can’t quote something that doesn’t exist. Please redirect your request to the guy who claimed something is in the law that clearly isn’t.

There is no proof for what you claimed because it doesn’t exist in the law as I wrote already. The “whistling Dixie” is you.
