Maybe it should be easier to get a workpermit.... Now it is an endless paperwork for employer and employee..... So that is why many stop with the procedure and work illegal.... Why not introduce a workvisa?? just apply for it and you can work in almost every job...Much easier, but in Thailand all jobs are protected even prostitution although it doesn't exists....Foreigners are being limited or jailed almost in  every job for not having a workpermit. Even volunteer work is impossible...Volunteer is without payment...and if people complain you can't even mown you own lawn........ Easy for people to blame but look at the reasons.  I know for foreign teachers it can take up to 3 months before getting a workpermit and that is far too long

With all restrictions of what people can buy I am wondering if it will and can work. In fact the only thing that can be done with the 10k is buying food and daily groceries on markets, and small shops...which are normally already more expensive than than the supermarkets.. and for the person in the story what do you do with 5 kilo sugar every day?? It is very bad for your health, or you have a business maybe?

A Thai company was involved in making the movie... they could not see what they were making?? Besides that.. Thailand is still not entering the 21st century with all outdated laws, rules, cars, and the way people think.  No surely it is a mirror, but the truth hurts so maybe it is an opportunity to make changes instead of all the commotion. That will do much more harm to the tourists industry than let it go... Maybe it will attrack a lot of people to go on a vintage holiday destination

He criticised government officials who continue to vape despite the e-cigarette ban, attributing them as a factor hindering the crackdown’s progress.

And not only them.. but also soldiers and army crew, RTP officers, teachers, and freely available on all markets all over Thailand.. Stop with all restrictions. make it just legal as in many others countries, but tax them more if you want them to stop and not allowed if you are under 18 or so.. Much better than forbidding things and not enforce them

"...As always, Thais can't take complaints".

As (almost) always, AN posters really cannot read, the owner said...

"The restaurant is open to constructive feedback and willing to make improvements, but the owner felt compelled to defend their business against false accusations".

the quote is correct.. Thais can't take complaints... look what you write constantly...always negative comments on others but never an own opinion about the subject..

RIP.... an accident nothing to do with ghosts or spirits

So change your job....why stay if you are not satisfied??

Includes me, and I'm not one bit sad

After I saw a few minutes of the opening ceremony and the tranny last supper I switched off.

I feel so sorry for the atheletes who have endured over the last four years to compete in one of the greatest competitions of all time to be dragged down to the level of that humiliating start to the event.

The Olympics has been taken over by the nutters in frocks who have nothing to do with the competition.

For me personal I did not even see it was the last supper....after the commotion I saw it, but for me it were just a group of people.  Later the organization mentioned it was the last supper indeed.... but I don't understand why they had to do it like this. They are French and have always something strange. Anyway that is the show and for me The Games are the most important.

Indeed the Olympic Spirit is everywhere in Thailand... I only can't find it.... almost nothing on TV here on Aseannews or other newspapers..... Not in the shops in the streets or anywhere..... The sportsmen and women are unknown here and don't feel that the country is their fan... Nobody seems to be interested in it.. Very very sad...

Tourists simply don't appreciate the intense concern the Thai authorities have regarding their health and wellbeing.

 

They should be grateful.

Thai should better start with taking care of Thai instead of temporarily visitors....see the mote in someones eye?

My first question is where does the money from him and his family come from ??? He is young as his daughters are 10 and 11..... And all for nothing because Lisa is only famous in Thailand

So they are trying to get artists get in to stop the bill of MFP now??
