  1. I read TV a lot but never post ..... interesting to read all these .... I think age is a big factor and most of the people that moan about the everyday issues here such as the roads, visa's, greed and prices etc seem to be older retired people.

    I've only lived here a year but like it here. I work but its not like work in London, there's no long commute and the work life balance is excellent compared to the rat race and live to work mentality back home. For me I can see myself being here until i retire then who knows. I also still return to seem family every 3 months so i get the best of everything. 

    When i do go back to England and meet with friends especially those that are retired they moan equally about the issues in England as the retired people do here about the issues in Thailand. Ok they are different issues but I'm starting to think that retirement gives people too much time on their hands and all they see is the bad.

    Also just a thought.... but if the Thai people just hear us moaning about them and their country then are they likely to try and change things for the better or will they think if you don't like it leave.

  2. Advice / confirmation needed - Non B visa and work permit. 

     

    1) I have a Non B Multiple Entry 1 year visa issued by the embassy in my home country. I'm about to quit my job who have provided me with a work permit since i started work here about 7 months ago - I leave the country every 90 days which is a requirement of my visa. I've read a few threads but please can people confirm that as I have a Non B Multiple entry 1 year visa that once my work permit is cancelled I won't have to leave the country immediatley or apply for a 7 day extension and then leave the country. My understanding is as my visa is not an extension of stay visa linked to my work permit then even if my work permit is cancelled then my visa is still valid and I will only have to leave the country when the next 90 day period is up based on the normal visa rules??

     

    2) I have a new job with a completley different company due to start next month. For the Work Permit, as i'm moving company do i need a brand new work permit or is it possible to get a letter confirming my old employment has finished and then add the new employer details to my current work permit?? 

     

    Thanks!
