And anyway this whole discussion is pointless because in Thailand a foreigner can get arrested for doing some work on for example his own boat or house,just about anything.

looks to me like "mr loaded " is a bit biased about this subject,perhaps a school owner?,apparently many English teachers now prefer to work online to working at some of these schools here.

It's not over yet,look like there is one more storm coming around the end of this week.

I'm looking at health insurance options,I am married to a Thai and in this way I'm getting a 1 year extension of stay(that's what they call it I think),I also have a son who was born in Thailand.Does anyone know if it would be possible to get social security without having a work permit or a Thai company.And if not what would be the next best kind of insurance to get which is not too expensive but is reliable?,I have insurance at the moment but I have heard too many bad things about the company I am with.Thank you.  

If you check the weather maps,for example passageweather.com it shows that next week Thailand could get hit by 3 different typhoons.This is not a joke,check the weather forecast for yourself.

I'm interested in teaching English online,my students would all be in China and I would be in Thailand,I read somewhere that you don't need a work permit for this as you are making all your money abroad,is this correct?

We are trying to find a visa solution which would enable my friend's son to stay in Phuket and go to school here.My friend has a work permit but he has the type of work permit for which he  has to leave the country every 3 months(not the type which enables him to stay in the country without having to leave for 1 year).He has been told that you can't use  his type of work permit to get a visa for his son,his son is 11 years old.My friend's wife also has the same every  3 month leave the country type of work permit. The school his son would like to go to is a tutor school and can't get him a visa.Your advice would be much appreciated.
