  1. 12.000 Thais working illegally in Saudi Arabia..... But no mention of that here
  2. Let them pay for using the footpaths and make strict rules, but as we all know there will be no enforcement, except for foreigners, that is why it is a mess all over the country
  3. Thai people see the mote in the foreigners eyes, but don.t see the beam in their own. It is just getting to look like a witchhunt, or even what the Germans did before the second World War... blame a group and prosecute and deport them. And that in country that pretents to be welcoming retiring people, tourist and expats...
  4. According to the law you need a work permit.... and that is really...So in fact you can't do anything in Thailand, but most of the time nobody cares as with everything
  5. Don't come the place overcrowded everywhere, you can't walk and see anything as there much too many people shufflimng. And there is no parking space too... It is terrible. Last year many people complained about the bunch of people that were everywhere
  6. so impossible to get a work permit as a Thai can do everything if he can't... Protecting laws are good, but to block a normal society is crazy.. I am not allowed in fact to work in the garden or paint my house, as I am retired and don't have a workpermit..That is not some professions In Thailand it are ALL professions and jobs..a big difference
  7. Indeed but first they have to get rid of this army based Government and they have to educate the people, instead of the xenophobia that is going on now.. Welcome foreigners and backpackers and update many laws instead of the conservative ideas nowadays
  8. Amazing Thailand indeed, the land of hubs, pollution, scams, where fugitives can come back and don't need to go to jail, where everything is the same as before the WO II, where foreigners are being unwelcomed, as we can read daily in the news, as the locals can do as they want, and so on
  9. I don't think that tourists can work...and where did you read he is a tourist?? Besides how many backpackers are travelling around the world and can get small temporarily jobs before travveling further?? Once Thailand had these backpackers too and that was good for the economy as the money they earned was spend mostly here. The backpackers wanted to see the country, but no the army and the governments wanted them out...No wonder that tourism went down since than
  10. Of course it is being rejected.. Everything that MFP will be proposing will be rejected to prevent that the MFP has influence in laws instead of the Government parties.. The false statement that it is harmful for the economy is brought in but is just a reason to reject it. In Western countries there are 40 hrs workweeks and salary raise has a little effect on the price.. Just because if people get more money they are able to spend more and that is better for the economy. But the dinosaurs don't see that as they are afraid that their businesses will earn less... The greed and unwilling to ente rthe 21st century is enormous here
  11. Outdated laws that nobody can do anything that a Thai can't do.. And as Thailand pretend they can do everything it is almost impossible to get a workpermit. What happens is that people start to work without a permit. So amend this law. Only if it is work that Thais don't like to do they hire Burmese and no problem for that. Thailand needs to enter the 21st century\. And why are so many Thais working illegally in other countries?? So here foreigners have to something that their own people doesn't do in other countries
  12. Amazing Thailand.. I see military, soldiers, teachers and government officers vaping all over the country.......How to solve a problem?? They can't even stop the black smoke cars or oblige to ride with a helmet on a motorbike.... But vaping they can stop?? First start with ones who are in charge or have a public position as an example
  13. A result for the country where everything is perfect and the best in their eyes.... But other eyes see it different... Maybe time for a defamation case??
  14. The outdated laws of Thailand and the xenophobia will ruin the country... But they pretend aiming for tourists or better the money from the tourists... Maybe a boycot by the tourists could things change in Thailand.. Expats and retirees are already avoiding to come here
  15. Probably more but nobody dares to tell it......
  16. Miracles happen..... but only in Thailand..... From serious ill to a recovery to travel, without wheelchair and braces?? The high bloodpressure will get worse in CM
  17. So service industry it called the prostitution in Thailand.... Good to know But are Thais not doing the same for example in Korea or in Saudi Arabia? I know people who have a Schengen visa for Poland but works in the service industry in another country....Blaming the pot and the kettle
  18. They are right.. the only thing this government has done so far is being busy with Mr Thaksin and his health care and now for Ms Yingluck.. All the rest is put on hold. Samesex marriage, 10k wallet scheme, airpollution problems and name it...
  19. Depends on what is the in the file... Maybe there important medical issues that need to be kept. Maybe for another 30 years...kids and grandkids can face the same problems
  20. A attempt to get Mr Red Bull arrested??
  21. Is not all sex services forbidden in Thailand?? or only for Filipino's and Russian ?
  22. I am wondering why?? How many Thai woman are doing the same?
