My topic is not nonsense.

My topic is based on reality.

 

In a perfect world, one should be able to ring up your contractor and request a technician with no scent.

 

Some of us are truly allergic to perfume.

Or, did you not realize this?

 

 

bro what are you smoking? i need too

your topic is not based on reality but GENJA.. 

another idiotic post from the same OP talking about bad smelling technicians.. 

dude you really have some issues in your life.. 

maybe not everyone is hiso like you or maybe cannot effort and buy like you...

totally a nonsense post i think.. 

EDIT: i had some people come to fix my things. including 3BB internet or some pipes. I will be very honest with you, some of them smell better than many farangs you can find at sukhumvit or pattaya.. 

very confused

options:

1) you guys are in USA and waiting for her K1 to come to thailand but meanwhile you guys want to come to thailand while shes waiting for the K1?

2) you guys are in thailand and she is waiting for K1 visa and you are asking if you can stay with her?

3) you guys are in thailand and you are asking you guys can travel?

well if you guys are in thailand i dont thing there is any rule or law says you guys cannot stay together in thailand.. thats the whole point being GF and BF

now if you guys are in the USA, im very sure that if shes waiting for green card she cannot leave the country for 2.5 years. she can work. Im not sure if this is the same thing for the visa. i wouldnt risk it just wait for the visa. 

if you guys in thailand and want to travel yes sure just dont miss the interview day.

suggestions:

talk to the shop owner and prove that the phone is yours. this is easy if they still not hacked it because you can use the pin code to open it. You said you called them already so it means they are aware of the situation which means they shouldnt hack it. Tell him you want it back. Most likely he will ask that 2500 baht back. If hes really a nice person he will give it to you for free.

here you have options. you can try to bargain with him some middle way payment or pay him fully or tell him you will go to the police and do the report. I would chose second one. Go to the shop with a very polite and friendly face. keep saying thank you thank you.. Just offer them 1500 baht as a thank they found your phone. They also know its illegal to buy stolen item. 

now.. if they hack the phone it means it will be 70% gone. it wont be easy for you to prove its your unless you have the receive of the product. Because in the documents of the product has the phone codes. so you can prove again. If you dont have them.. i would say its almost impossible after hack.

well.. last hope option is go to the police and make a report and tell them you know where it is. Go with the cops prove the phone is yours (use your pin to open or documentation). There are few options there with the police for you. if you want justice, report the shop as well. because again its illegal to buy a stolen item.

What would you do?

i would... stop giving my truck to him maybe?!

well thai government not shocked only them but me too.

i never paid this much high bill (last 2 months) for 17 years in thailand... 

just a quick head up for KK IO

when i went there for monthly income extension the very first thing she asked me to show me the income more than 40K baht in yearly bank report.. She gave me a yellow mark pen and asked me to highlight all 40Ks and dates so if you dont want to waste your 30min to find every 40K while shes looking at your face like hurry up i suggest you to do that before going there. But up to you there is also a chance she will ask you why did you do that.. lol

Also she noticed that and asked me why my salary not come to the bank on the same day of the month. I told her its always the last 4 days of the month.. like yours kap.. she said ok.

Do you get something to show that you can print off other than a screenshot saying Approved? I  think I will need prove of my 90 day report when applying for my extension, first hurdle at the ticket machine guarded by document check person, and then at the actual counter. I'm thinking if I just go in person and get the stamped half a4 piece of paper like last time to be safe? or is it a no concern?

they send an email with PDF file. but there is no signature.. no stamp on it.

Looks like you're a Thai immigration officer....

How about a color copy?

Once I had an argument about that when he said I should sign it with a blue pen for the same reason.
Also to him then I asked if he knew of the existence of color copy machines.

 

color copies are not accepted. easy to see the difference between copy and wet pen writing or wet signature.

Can anyone explain why it has to be completed in blue ink ?

yes, must be blue color.

because they want to see its not copy. 

+1 to Savanakhet. i think most friendly and best place to get any kind of visa

Let your Thai wife check in at hotels with her Thai ID. 

80% of the hotels will ask your passport or thai driving license. only small 450 baht hotels will not bother asking you. Thai driving license is the key here.

I have a Thai driving license as well, so maybe I could try to show it for avoiding the hotels to update my address and change tm30 again

yep, im also using my thai driving license. so easy

I did mine for 5 years in april.

didnt book. walk in. But i watched the 1 hour video online and kept the QR code it gave me.

went there at 7.30 they started to take in people who has bookings. So i would say i waited around 2 hours for my turn. When you enter the door tell or show the QR code to the lady sitting on the right (giving queue numbers) that means you watched the video. So they will give you a different queue number (i think white color) to skip watching the video. they will take i think 550 or 505 baht. cannot remember. i waited my turn probably another 30-40min. Did 3 tests about color, reflects, eyes. Took my photo and waited another 20min. All done

so no need booking but if not you will wait probably 3-4 hours to do all. went there 7.30 done around 11:45

video you need to watch:

I have one more question about the labor office. Can it be any nearest labor office, or must it be the one that issued me the work permit?

it must be the one your work place working with. its about the area. so you cannot go just the one you want

My last question is: Can I cancel my own work permit without getting my current employer involved?

I have the following documents:
1. Termination Letter
2. Visa (Extension of Stay) Cancellation Letter
3. Certificate of Employment (I think this is for the new job)
4. Work Permit Cancellation Form

I have heard of people who were able to do it, and people who needed their employers to do it for them. So, if possible, I would like to do it myself. 

yes you can

just take the termination letter and the work permit with you to the labor office.

it will take 15 min to do all.

first of all you need a termination letter from your employer. 

then go to the immigration and tell them you are done with your work. they will ask you your termination letter.

bare in mind that the date on your termination letter is your last day in thailand.

because it also cancel your visa.. probably non-b.. immigration will tell you that you have 24 hours to leave thailand right after you tell them and show them the termination letter. im not sure you can ask them 7 days for 2000 baht or not. 

you have 2 options here..

1) you talk with your new job and prepare all the documents for your visa. if they can do that you dont need to leave the country.. you can do everything in the same day.

2) if the new job cannot provide you with the documents you need to leave the country when you cancel your work.

i strongly advice you that to prepare your tax documents for your next work permit.. thats the first thing they will ask you when you want to expend your visa when you get the new work

I came to Thailand about every other month for a couple years (working) before coming here for work full-time. 

 

During that time, I met with our sales rep, looked at factories, met with customers, suppliers, contractors and lawyers. I finally leased an office and hired a driver and an office manager and started interviewing staff, all without a work permit. Every time I was asked by anyone why I was entering Thailand, or what I was doing in Thailand I answered truthfully, and I never had any problem. 

 

During the over twenty years I worked here, I had countless foreign nationals visit the factory for any number of reasons, all working, generally for a week, but sometimes for several months at a time, none of them with work permits, always answering honestly, and no one ever having any issue. 

 

For visitors, I think the no work permit issue is greatly exaggerated. 

Thanks

smells fishy... we actually never ask questions for ourselves, it's always for our "friends"  555

with all respect to you and your comment.. i was wondering if you would help differently if its me or my friend? 

i just cannot understand why people keep doing this.. its a friend or not. the question is there... does it matter?!

The authorities have specifically clarified that attending trade shows, and making purchases while there can be done without needing a work permit. Actually meeting customers and selling to them is different, and I do not think that is legal without a work permit.

i do believe it is. think like going to a business dinner. some people come here for attend some business meeting plus the sea and the nature. its all about what you are selling.. or talking in the meeting. its not like..

but i agree with you

It would be useful to know which particular rogue office you are forced to attend.

khon kaen.. chang wattana.. nakhon sawan.. sri racha... pattaya... nan... loei... mukdahan... im sorry cannot remember the rest 50

i wonder which clawn IO you are talking about accepts black ink

if you work in some business you would also know that black is not accepted on many documents when you sign them only in some situations tho.

so.. your opinion doesnt make its true just because you think so or you were lucky 1 or 2 times. and i dont think i attended a rogue IO jsut because they are doing their job
