Actually,  I did a little research and ecommerce is eligible for BOI promotion which means a foreigner can own the business 100% and no need for Thai employees.

i thought you need at least 2 thai

with 40 million baht, i would open a construction or restaurant business. i would build a house with a swimming pool and a great garden and other things. I would build it in my construction work land area so it would count the business asset. So i can own it and live in it freely. I would do the same thing for the restaurant. With the rest of my 40mil i would buy a nice car and name it under my business so there will be no legal issues. i would put the rest of the money into the bank. 

i think better than buying a 1600 square meter land.

That is not correct.

It is possible to work for another company if you have a existing work permit (new rule since 2018).

Before 2018 it was possible with consent from your existing employer.

So do you mean someone can have more than 1 work? So OP is working at a school and can work in another school too using the first school work permit regarding to the new law from 2018? If so, thats too good to be true

Thnx for the answer

No. Because you can have only 1 work permit for 1 work. 

But its little bit up to your side business... do you mean sell online, then yes, you can. Do you mean own a coffee shop and serve there after school, no.

never work with an agency in thailand, trust me. you can find many schools by yourself. just go and look ajarn . com

even if you are not a native english speaker im sure there are many school will invite you for an interview. If you can teach math your chances are really high to get hired even by international schools which pays better than teaching english. 

good luck

courier lied to you.

you have the full right to return the mail / parcel unless you take it and get into your house and come back and tell him you want to return. From the moment he gives you and you take it to the home with you, you can give back the item. I hope you didnt pay for it. thats my number 1 rule, cash on delivery. 

once i ordered something and then i decided not to buy it. When it arrived to thailand i called the driver and told him i dont want to receive it. He said ohh he is already got the parcel, he is already out for the deliveries for everyone, blah blah stuff. I again told him well i dont want it. he little bit tried to resist with reasons like but the parcel is already here in his car, with him... after my 3rd NO, he said ok.

you can use your mobile to sign in. There are 3 options there, google, facebook and mobile.

i think up to the reason. Is it because of some illegal activity or not.. or did you do anything wrong in your old school.. have many things you think its ok but actually not ok in thailand. 

if its only your old school told them you are not a good teacher or likewise, its totally up to your new work to decide to work with you or not. It seems to me if your new school call them and ask them about you, they will not say anything good. If i were you i would try to find a new recommendation or reference name and remove that both schools from my CV.

Your next school has no chance to know about this unless they call the old schools. No need to worry. Just forget about this and find a new one. 

good luck
 

im not fully sure but if you get a tourist visa you should show some money with you (20.000 baht?) and few other details they might ask or want to see.

if its not complicated there, i would get a marriage visa for 3 months (single entry). im pretty sure there will be no problems at the immigration. play safe ????

well tbh whatever you do, this or that they cut almost the same amount. it changes really little. So i would chose the fastest way. mostly the cut is around 1000 baht. dont think too much about it. these things are international, cannot change because they will not let to change. 

think like this you want to sell your mobile, go to a shop get a price and checked other shops, you will get the same amount just 1 up 1 down. because they already agreed about this. same for the money transfer. Again, i would look for the fastest one

Great to hear from a scientist. ????

Thank you

UPDATE:

I changed the PTT station to Esso. Believe or not i observed great differences. No more extra fuel consuming. Better engine performance. No more PTT from now on! 

Another suggestion:

go to DLT with someone who can speak thai. Explain them the situation and ask them what to do and what document do you need. 

she can give someone authority (probably i misspelled it, sorry) a lawyer can do it via online signature. I think it will cost you around 5000 - 8000K for the lawyer and all paper work. Maybe little bit less.

14 short trips.

 

 

Well, after reading or posting many things in here.. after your 14 short trips here.. if you still dont know or cannot decide what to do, my advice to you is stay away from thailand OR come and live for a while and decide.

There is no way you can give a important decision like this  by other people's suggestions.. everyone in this forum probably has different good and bad experiences about thailand. Which will be the same for you.

Just closing your eyes and sell or forget everything in your hometown and come here for living is a crazy idea. Dont do that, thats something you cannot go back and fix.

Im here for 17 yrs and still have a hpuse back in my country. My brother take cares of it. Although i started to think to rent it and use the money. But selling it, no. Still wouldnt dare to do that. Thailand is a country which wants foreigner money not the person self.

So just come here for a couples of years and see by yourself, experience it by yourself, live it and feel it. Dont listen others, listen to your heart after 2 3 years living here. All i can say is if you dont have a good income, thailand will be very difficult than you can imagine.

Good luck

4598 posts you posted and now asking this question.........

really?

so you never been to thailand... stayed here long time... learned what you can do, what you cannot do... really!?

use the mobile app. Super easy takes 5min to do.

screenshot in every step. when you are registering, the app automatically recognize your immigration area which is great. i always use the app

search 'section 38' you will see it. its like blue color and says 38 on it.

i believe any ID showing your name with a photo will do. 

my friend told me once he used his photo of the passport in his phone.

as a former interpol agent worked in thailand and know many thai police, also currently working with the royal thai airforce  i say that you CAN record any police activity from a safe distance not disturbing the police on duty.

when you are recording;

*you cannot get involved with the investigation.. 

*you cannot disturb the police officer or get into his investigation or personal space...

*you cannot get involve to the case if you are not related to.. 

*you can do the things you cannot do only with his permission.. 

if the case is about you yes, you CAN record. 

*you can record only the case and related to it. 

PS: there are many things about this which i cannot write here because its lot of details but the info i gave you is the main idea

and yes, the biggest police in my city literary sitting next to me and reading this and drinking our beer and talking about our together old days working together in interpol

Hi,

Im sorry dont know the link. Used my friend lazzada.

But i just typed cannabis seeds. And had many options. Just try. Im sure you will get many as i did. 

dateinasia is good one and almost free if i remember.

50 seeds 50, 100 seeds 100 baht.
