 Can’t imagine why you wouldn’t,t be a great teacher, but why would anyone want to shaft you?

Am not looking up that skirt no more, mate, thanks for the concern.

Can anyone give me names of reputable agencies who supply Thai manpower to work for me as security guards, drivers, office clerks with a working knowledge of English and Thai law ( not lawyers). What if I am visiting to interview them, am I working? What if I set up a company in Australia but operate in Thailand?

Working without wp is illegal. So what is your plan? What you going to do? If you going to open business, and hire thai to work for you, you are just å business owner. Nothing more than an cash supplier for a business. 

not illegal.

Look here I tried to do a course in teaching English and I got shafted in the process of getting a job. So I am decided on not looking for a job. In the months since I thought about it and came up with the idea of investing in a business and putting them good Thais to work for me in a win win situation in their own backyard. I have tired driving trucks, mate, I am thinking of investing my money and time in it in Thailand where i had good intentions once. I want to go no other place in damned Africa where I was invited.  But I want to see how the decks are stacked in this gig aforehand in Thailand, if you see what I mean. So I want to come over the dogshit and scoop a lot at it myself with a big spoon if thats not work. Now if that IS work and am going to be abused, I want to do whatever I can to avoid it. See where I am going with that mate? 

i got the sense that i was going to afghanestan so i wanted to ask on a topic. bangedup excons will say the place is toilet. and a bad one without a flush. but i want pure business. employ thais for me share n share alike

If the authorities raid wherever you are operating and determine that you are "working" then it's off to jail, court appearance, fine, deportation, you really don't have any say in it.

 

But if, as you say, it's (at least to begin with) business meetings and discussions you won't have a problem.

 

And it DOES matter what passport you are travelling on as to exactly what's needed to obtain your WP once you get a company going.

 

the authorities wont raid coz i am not opening a store. and i am not staying. what choice does one have in the matter of passport. how many passports u got? is stupid.

At least it's not lonely, 50 to 60 in a cell, 2 sort of toilets, fosters a feeling of community.

No phone, no internet or television so people can learn the art of conversation.

They reduced the fines this year:

The fine for you for working without a is now 5,000 to 50,000 baht. I don't know if you could be deported for it

i am no getting no work permit coz i shant be working no sewing machine in chinese factories. i am not paying that fine if youse thing i was working when i was not. its fine if they just ask me to leave because i cant do business. i will leave. what youse sayjng about not getting deporting is err strange. with all the banged up talk above.

How do you work that out?

 

not u. 

Just now, Crossy said:

With no company set up you're not getting a WP, period.

 

But if you're just visiting to discuss with potential partners you have no worries, this is permitted with no WP.

 

Thank you. Who permits you say shouldnst say youse was at work to get youse job to work is all my worry right now.

Just make sure you have enough cash on you, and you will be fine. The abusing happens in the deternation camps, so if you can pay your ass out, you will get the first plane home with a 10 year or lifelong ban on you. 

What is deternation? A ten year or lifelong ban? I am not into anything illegal, mate? All legit shit. But I want to get there first and talk to the partners.

If you fancy being banged up for a few days or however long it takes you to pay for a flight home and blacklisted for at least a year.

What do you mean getting banged up?

Jail? Yes, whilst waiting to be deported.

 

Your employer should be able to kick off the work permit process before you arrive, it will help you get the necessary B visa.

 

Where are you applying from, what passport do you use?

 

EDIT Also, what's the job in question, some (teaching) are more visible than others.

 

I am not going to any jail I can tell you that. Not employer, mate, an honest partner and they are not kicking off anything as yet I said not until I was there. We are going into business if we can shake hands on a deal either way to it. Only passport I got where I come from. I just wanted to know the process. Is it written down in place where I can find it? 

Hi, can I be put in gaol if I work yeah in over there without a permit? Or can them good people do as they please? How can I make sure am not abused?
