Deserted

Why back to 30 days. 45 was much better.

What is the time of the last bus from Ekkamai to Pattaya in the evening? And could someone correct me on this. About ten years ago, you could go to the corner of Sukhumvit and the Bangna-Trad highway, and there would be taxis that go to Pattaya from there, once the car was full, about 400 baht per person. Is that still happening.

On top of that, when the Immigration Police came, the owners of the school became highly flustered and didn't want the school to get a bad reputation so when they spoke to me in person, they attempted to accuse me of causing the problem of not having a Non-Immigrant B. I said to them you have offered me absolutely no assistance whatsoever, and it has taken me a long time to work out what to do and how to go about it, which has delayed the whole process. It's also common knowledge that the school has been breaking the law as well as I for accepting the work when the process hadn't started, so it's incorrect to lay all the blame on me, as you have two other employees in exactly the same position, and have caused them huge problems too by offering them no assistance whatsoever, telling them to go and sort everything out by yourself, go and pay for it yourself too and go and tell us when its done. In the end I became so annoyed and tired of their total incompetence I told them that they were just downright lazy and completely useless, and if you don't mind we can put the process of a work permit on hold, and I will go and work somewhere else instead, which is exactly what I went and did because the approach of the school was well its your passport, your visa and your work permit, so you need to arrange that all by yourself, that has nothing to do with us, its not our business. Our business is to make sure the students are in class and having lessons, its not to go running around government offices chasing documents. That's your business so you got and do the whole lot yourself and tell us when its done. I have since left that school and am glad to have done so. To say they were useless, lazy and unhelpful is quite an understatement.

Of that I cannot be entirely sure, yes you might be right. I insisted on asking whether they knew what my tax number was and they did and showed proof of it. Shortly after this we got a visit from the Immigration Police who wanted to see my passport. There then followed a very protracted discussion about my Non-Immigrant B visa being under process and documents having been submitted and so on. They said because there is evidence that you are paying tax deductions and that there is evidence that the process to get your work visa clearly is underway, we are not going to do anything and arrest you. But we are going to come back at the beginning of the next academic year (mid-May) to double-check that you are telling the truth as the process should have been completed by then and you should have your work permit and visa by then. If you have not then we are going to take action. That was what happened.

I did that and yes it was being paid.

If he chooses to cycle on the path, he deserves everything he gets. Serves him right for showing a total lack of respect for pedestrians.

She is lucky to have survived that.

Another bridge, I thought they had enough already.

I'll be dead by the time they finish that.

okay thanks. What you say I thought was correct but when I asked the school about it they wouldn't give me any answers.

It's not as bad as arguments over who Angkor waht really belongs too, and the thai embassy in Phnom Penh being burned down along with it.

Hello all, I have accepted a job and been asked to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with my qualifications. I have a degree, which has a notarization, and apostille and has been legalized by the Thai Embassy in London, and I have been asked to take this to the MFA. Unfortunately the school I am at is not exactly well-organized and getting extra information off them is proving very difficult indeed. They have said its part of the overall process to get a Non-B but that's it Could someone tell me what the point of me actually going there is? What are they going to do with the document I give them? Secondly, will I need to get the document translated? Thanks.

Yes, I would also like to know that.

Well, you could turn to the drugs instead of booze for a day. Some of them are legal now.

Cheaper to do so but less on offer entertainment wise.

Aha, that one yes. Many of them have done in the past yes. But why on earth anyone would want to go to them, where small bottles of beer are 180 baht, music is usually dreadful and girls are all boring I don't know.

Some do yes

From what I understood they stay open but cannot serve alcohol, that's how it usually is.

This is a real cock and bull story.

Hi guys, I haven't rented a motorbike in Phnom Penh for more than 10 years now. Could someone recommend a place to hire from, and if you know, how much a dirt bike costs to rent these days. thanks.

At least he won't get the clap!

I have to take a train to Pattaya next weekend. Which station are they running from Hua Lamphong or Bang Sue?

I am assuming they are a low budget cheap airline because their tickets are the cheapest. Has anyone flown with them? Experiences?

Correct. It's a bit harsh to call it a tourist trap. It does have character, or at least it did. Not so sure now.

Maybe he should have learned to control his emotions instead of choosing a life in prison for not doing so.
