I would like to hear what it's like in jail...........when you are less stressed.

I do feel bad for the OP, sincerely bad since he has a kid.  I'm at an age no where I realize the love of a child is 100000000000000x more powerful than anything on this planet.  I joke a little bit, since I don't have kids.  lol.  But this is what I think.

Yes, just move right across the border and get a plan there...... and best of luck.  

i don't care if this is a troll or not, because it's a REAL problem that can happen.  OK, I don't buy the 99 year thing....but separated from your kid for 1 year would be devastating.  

I am reminded of this every day in Thailand, almost never back home.

2,000 baht can destroy a person here, change their life, ruin their eating habits for a month, send them into disrepair and act as though they will die any moment.

While others spend 2000 on some beers and .....          every night

A few sad thoughts:
 

1.  This guy is probably a BETTER teacher than most, since he can probably speak English clearly.  Let that sink in.....There are so many Non-native speakers ;asldjfs;dfjd (inaudible) English that this guy is top of the food chain.

2.  Another reason never to drive in Thailand.  Never.  Met a joker last week, rented motorbike, dropped it, had to pay 12,000.  And he works for 25,000 a month and came here with no money.  

3.  So this guy is 54 or something and doesn't have 200,000 and must ask strangers for money.   That is the definitely of lonely.  I feel bad for him....I wonder what's the plan 10-years from now..

I will never do anything to disappoint Thailand.

Oh, I've heard this one before...... I think this is the guy who can really speak Northern Thai, so I'm happy for him.  

I'm now joking (so you know).... OK, soon corona infects 50% of Thailand and he apply for American citizenship.   LOL

Engineering expert

I don't think I've ever seen these two words together.....

So, why the need to include "expert."   I wonder.....  5555555555555

OF COURSE I would let them dock.  Then it's business, right?  Good 'ol fashion business that made companies great.  Charge 1 zillion for everything, and another 1 zillion for everything and another 1 zillion for more....  they would be risking the lives of our doctors, so another 1 zillion.  I would try my best to save them all, but people are paying 50,000 baht for a PHONE....so it's time to get paid Cambodia!!!  10 zillion dock fees

if you want to do it for free.....as Thais say... UP TO YOU.

Corona Olympics.  

I feel bad for the athletes, but they need to postpone this one.  

Question:  OK, say you get rejected but you have a motorbike and a good amount of luggage still in Thailand.  Do you normally get 7 days to get your stuff, or are you really stuck?  I wish I had only a small bag, but that's impossible for me.  

I don't think I'll to worry about this until at least May, and likely not until August....BUT I would leave my stuff in Thailand before going to Laos.  

Comparing things are ridiculous

WW2 killed 80 million.   China communism killed maybe 50 million.  Cambodia, Indonesia, Chile, Poland of course, Russia of course with Stalin, Vietnam, never ends...............

Sure, this virus might only kill 40 million.  Then we will say, "Well, more people died with the Spanish Flu."  And we can argue forever....

I'm predicting this one will scare you more than the flu, and that's the real answer.  

soon....in a few months....you will be able to walk into a store, see an item for 5000, tell them 1500 and be prepared to leave.  

it might be a dangerous market, but it will be a buyer's market.   Sell that condo if you can!!!!  

I tried this once.  First I had electrical issues and then I cut my hair way, way too short.  I like the idea.....if you spend 200 baht every 3 weeks....do the math.  but i also like the idea of having less stuff.  had to throw away my last one, but maybe i'll try again.  

I'm GUESSING this is done for different reasons.  Perhaps NOW they can force quarantine and break into a place to get an infected person....Yes, it's obvious to us, but in 1st world countries they need to follow protocol before they can get you...

I say put it to DEFCON 1 and play Tick-tac-toe....

Change the sign tonight, open tomorrow.  

We don't own the building, or a business inside, and it would be strange if it was closed for a month.  Seems very quick, but I don't take it as disrespectful to the victims, so I'll chalk it up to "This is Thailand."

Is "viral nonsense" more damaging than the disease itself?

Number of DEAD due to "viral nonsense"?  
 

ZERO.

I would say the answer is NO.

The work permit is YOURS, not theirs. Nowadays you can work for different branches of the same company in different areas if the company informs the labour office that you will be there, meaning they don't have to apply for a new work permit in the new area as they did before.

You should keep your work permit ( just don't lose it ).

They can certainly go and cancel it.  So, yes, it's yours, but they control it.  Keep it, but they can cancel it and change terms and good luck going to BKK and fighting it in court.  if they want to cancel it, they definitely can.  

had both experiences.  Total costs with traveling and everything and months and months...can be OVER 20,000.  

This is what you do.  Tell them you will QUIT if they don't pay.  Simple.  really.  It's amazing how deep their pockets are if they like you.  I've learned how to use leverage.   If you have some self-worth, you will muster the courage and be strong in your one and only life.  Be a man!!!  Don't let them walk on you!!

if things don't work out, don't blame me.  lol.  

if you no like you no stay...then you go with money and give to ANOTHER country that likes you.... ok ok.  easy easy.

if you stay then they know you no smart you will pay more and you no leave so you pay and pay and pay

why live where FARANG means Bad Bad Devil Bad Bad Bad Bad.  LOL

It's all about what comes out of my mouth. Maybe a bit about what comes out of my pants too, I always wear loose fitting chino shorts with no underwear. Access all areas for the girls. Works for me.

It's illegal to go out NOT wearing underwear in Thailand.  FACT.

I have your location, swat team.................get in place!!!!!!
