What utter tripe

Totally.  How to say a lot of something by saying nothing at all.  

If the reason for exiting the business is amicable then I wouldn't bother renewing your work-permit and your visa allows you to legally reside in Thailand until the said date.  

Re "not leaving a mess", as mentioned above, if things are amicable between you and your biz partner(s) your main focus should be to unwind any foreseeable legal/reputational risk as a director of a registered Thai company. I would resign as director as well as ensure that if you are keeping your shares that there is the necessary documentation in place between you and your partners that absolves you of any duties/risk/liability. Thai law, in particular Corps Law (CCC) is a mix of English and French law with a splattering of Thai nuance.  If things get nasty or the business ends up with "challenges" with Thai gov depts and/or other Thai businesses etc and if you have an unresolved exit then you can easily get dragged back into the dramatics.  

Hope this helps.

Unless you expect to make a lot of money it is probably not worth the cost when you factor in the 4 Thai employees required and etc.

Getting a 5 year Thai Elite visa for 600k baht might be best.

Totally agree.  Four Thai per one Work Permit | VAT returns and general tax compliance (horrendous penalties if you are late) | 2M Start up Capital (although there are ways around this) AND you still need to report every 90 days.  Are you aware of an APEC card - if you are a citizen of one of the participating countries and your business meets the eligibility test then APEC membership is by far the best investment. 5 years, multiple-entry and less than THB10,000 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APEC_Business_Travel_Card

I will gladly pay for my vaccination.

 

 

This would be much more funnier if the last line was deleted.  Reminder to please keep this forum to the following categories:  smut, derogatory musings, self sanctification and rage.

Gotta love the snippet of side-boob in the main pic. Hubba hubba.

If they loved their families so much why did they leave them in the first place?

To love is to leave, to leave is to love. Leaving is loving to leave while leaving the love.

Who the actual buggery comes up with this dreadful identity.  Does anyone know if TAT even use a reputable creative agency or just dream up this horrible stuff internally.  There is no coherence with their identity, the evolution of the 'brand' is knee-jerk at best and the palate and overall design is rubbish. Copy is uninteresting and dull and the whole umbrella campaign feels cheap and last minute.  To be honest, the only decent and thoughtful/creative/tasteful piece of media I have seen from a large multi-national is Thai Airways' (somewhat new) safety film.  Lovely touches and thoughtful design metrics.  Rant over. For now.....
