How much money 7-11s make per month (range)?
problemfarang replied to timoti's topic in General Topics
to open a very simple 7eleven you need to pay the company min start from 3mil baht. IF they accept your payment, they will send some people to check with you about the area you want to open and a few other things. IF you CAN convince them that its a good idea to open 7 at that area they will start the paper work. For a very rural area they guarantee you 35K per baht. there are many legal things you should know. If you do wrong which is very easy to do they will eat you alive. I tried to open like few years ago and rejected by 7eleven because im farang even tho using thai person. no way making 10mil per month if thats your wondering. -
good call.

Your first mistake was to get involved into this thing. Second mistake was talking to her boss. third mistake was you think the massage lady is/was your friend. tbh i dont know how they work. For me no massage no money is wrong thing already. thats non-sense. if its like that then she could it at home or free working style. paying to the shop for your off day is another scam thing. I think no massage no payment thing may be true. I would try to find out if its true that she really pay to the shop when she leaves for the home. Thats the first time i heard of. Now i know you think shes your friend, nice talking, doing good massage, being kind to you... but this is a general tactic by all of them. The main idea is to find a husband or boyfriend to support them & family. The shop owner is my friend or family friend is another very common thing. i dont want to be mean and not saying all of them but this sound like it was a trap for you. i suggest change the massage shop, im pretty sure you will meet with almost similar story ????

I dont know this will help you or not my ex-wife is from khon kaen. Her registration is khon kaen. But i was working in bangkok. I wanted to do my extension base on my work and work salary. Where ever you work it doesnt matter. You have to do your extension where your wife is registered. in your case i think she is from khon kaen too (because you mentioned khon kaen) and she registered there. now if she works in some other city that means most likely she moved there and also moved her registration there too. in this kind of case you must go this city and extend your visa there not khon kaen anymore. So basically, where ever she registered herself, extension is there. Suggestion: go to khon kaen, do your extension. travel where ever or live where ever you want. If the police wants to visit you they will visit you where ever you live (the address you provided and TM30) thats how happened to me. Sometimes they may insist to see you in khon kaen.. thats something you need to talk and explain to them.

well again its not much of a life or living, is it? they are just doing it for get more attention and raise their watchers. If you come here and want to stay couple of weeks... maybe. But again, if you cannot see around or able to do things then why are you here. if you are living here then thats impossible. I dont think someone can live on eating rice and chicken for 55 baht per day and every day.

Now if hes here with the non-b and work permit extensions there is no problem till the employer terminates them or wait till the end of the contract. Meanwhile as you mentioned employee must pay for the medical expenses if its in the contract. If the medical leave is very long the employer has the right to terminate the contract base on 'unfit for employment' . This is most likely what they will do. Also be aware that there is a age limit for work permit too. Now the moment they ended the contract is the last day of your friend in thailand. The important thing here is the date on the termination letter given by the employer. The last working day will be on it. Thats your last day in thailand. Your friend can apply for medical expansion or visa (i dont know its official name). Some people posted useful info about it already with links. I really dont know if the labor office can help you than telling you what you can do and options. And things will change when you go to immigration. So at this point my advice for your friend is to go to immigration and explain whats going on and get some info for the future acts. hope they will get well soon. Good luck

How to deal with a Thai woman?
problemfarang replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
So you were discussing about money and who must take care of the family at a BAR with a MAMASAN who is basically a pimp. She lived in a sociality like that for years and thats her way of living. You were aware of this, right? -
im living in thialand probably 17 years or 18. when i came here i was getting 1000UK pounds and it was around 45K baht. Life was great tbh. I could do almost everything i want. If i remember correctly Leo was 35baht. I was again almost the only farang in Khon Kaen. Plus i was young nowadays things are really expensive. 45K is not enough for a luxury life. Most likely will only save the day. My salary is higher than 45K now but again its not good as 17 yrs ago. Also prices are really high after covid. Sometimes i watch youtubers telling how to live in thialand with 250 baht per day or similar things. I just laugh at them because i know its not true and impossible.

i have noticed some really annoying things with Grap. Mostly food 1) the map is wrong. My driver always use a way which is not on grap map. I asked them about this and they told me there is a direct small road both for cars and bikes connecting the main road and the road in front of my house. The distance is around 500m. dont know how much money it is. 2) many grap drivers try to dont give changes. They always say transfer/scan please because they dont have enough money on them.. But when i tell them they can transfer to my bank account they usually shock. 3) Grap usually shows another house probably 100m away from me. So far never showed my house for 3 years yet. That house is a company house. Again this adds more money to the distance. 4) Some restaurants dont read your notes about the food. few more things but didnt want to write here.
