Normally it's Thai's who do all the employing of illegal workers, I cant think of any farangs who employ Burmese,

 

There is many Thai restaurants around Rawai with Burmese workers, mostly hotel staff around here are Burmese,

 

Over the last 12 years Ive had many Burmese, some are ok some are  not, however even they dont want field work they want a factory job and with overtime.

In 12  years of  having staff only 2-3 have been good , 90% are dross. cue the you pay them peanuts brigade, who are clueless

I know I should drawdown. But at 56 find it difficult to start. This question will only get bigger as I age.

Interested in others experiences.

similar problem and age although if  I find someone who seems  willing and honest, hard  working in anything Ill try to help them.

Was discussing this with my Wife the other day as we  have amassed a  lot over the years. The  problem is who to give it to, WE both neither trust any Thai charities and western ones  seems to spend  inordinate amounts on "management"

Open to suggestions................erm not the obvious, must be NON religious  based prefer education inc anti religion

Well that taught her Bob.  Imagine if everyone did that... She'd have no customers to bitch about. 

 

I too vote with my feet if service is poor.  Plenty more places willing to take my baht and provide better service. 

Ive learnt a valuable lesson to day thanks to Lou.......they dont care or need my measly money

I would wait a month or so utili we get some rain. 

a couple of weeks ago, my garden farm and small farm house almost burned down from a similar incident (5 minute from our house by car) 

we got a call from a neighbor and got there just in time to stop it on our fence, the corner of the storage farm house was already on fire. Some of my trees close to the fence had all of their leaves burned, I hope they come back. 

Anyway If I had lost my farm and knew who did it , you can bet I would have had by Thai relatives go after him. 

Your rocket experiment will be seen by your students, if a  fire results from it . you can bet that it will get back to the parents. Don't take the chance, 

 

 

Put as  firebreak all round  my  land, built a  concrete road  around it.........of  course the usual village  idiots  said my road was  illegal, I was going to build a resort, cant do that etc...... then later when the hillside caught  fire from one of the neighbours  land the  same idiots asked if the could come onto my land use my road to drive a fire engine up it to quell the flames (steep  hill)..... you cant fix  stupid. The road gave easy access up to the top, previosuly dirt  track  impassable after rainy season.

Reminds me I must build that resort one day they mentioned.

Yeah I fit in like a sore  thumb to some of the locals......thankfully there are a few decent ones in the village also.

43 injured "crying for help", with two dead already, and people still wanting to jump on here and say something 'funny'.. What is wrong with you people??

theres no point bleating on about rip to all those concerned ( who you dont know, will never  meet etc) is there, wise up THAIS dont give a <deleted>e about this, if  they did it  wouldnt  be happening, which is why I treat it with the contempt it deserves.

I don't think this is true, because you are only required to have the 400k in the bank 2 or three months, I think it is 2 but I am not sure because I keep mine there year round. 

Anyway , a monthly income would require a year long statement, and would prevent those who have been here less than a year from getting an extension, 

 

I am at the end  stage of this  years renewal based on marriage, this  year they asked what income I had and "about" how much it was, they also asked my wife her income and what she did.

However it was  all written on a  scrap of  paper not on any form. This is HUA HIN immigration I was due to collect  the stamp in my passport today but they hadnt received it back by 9am. Later at 1pm they said they had it back and to come in tomorrow  would be ok.

This is only the 2nd  time Ive been asked in 16 years of doing this, the first time was the first time i did it.

be better off  if they gave him the full UK pension

As others have stated, if there is no criminal history for the people involved in these 3 incidents, how exactly would this help stop them? For tourists, this would be a huge sod that moment, we will go somewhere else.

But hilariously we  have a  major  govt figure of agriculture (apt I guess  for poppy growing) with a heroin smuggling criminal past

Yes and then only rich a-holes will be allowed in and not the everyday average a-holes. 

stinks of the "new"  tax  rules, dont to help the  poor  yet  you can buy an LTR visa  showing a lot  fo  money = no tax to pay.............how does that help the poor, stiff  the poor imo, many are  poor  by their own doing

You sound like a monk. I happen to really enjoy my friends and I derive a tremendous amount of fulfillment out of my friendships, so the fact that I don't have any close Thai friends here is a regret. But it is what it is. Fortunately I have a lot of good friends elsewhere and I have some very good expat friends here. 

I have no need for friends. Last thing Id do is become a monk praying to fantasy gods
