Legally employer has an obligation to help in some way, there are some flexibility there. However Government has set several assistance programs for both employers and employees. Before anyone both Thai and Farang in this forum leaping to their keyboard and compound the original poster and other people's misery by writing somethings naff and only with half a brain without facts or any kind of deliberations, just grab a drink or take a walk.

My advice is to watch the news, the keep your eyes out for any update in the newspaper.

Does anyone know how to set up iphone to usbe with Blackberry 650 package on AIS I'm still being charged 1 Baht per minute. Now I just turned the phone off and use the other phone.

It depends whether he wants to live in Thailand, under his Thai passport for any extended period of time. I was born in Thailand, but studied and lived in the UK. I made a few missteps a long the way on that matter. I only filed the paper with the Army once when I turned 21 that I was at the time still a University student and therefore I was exempted for an academic year and then I neglected to file another paper with them.

I was able to go in and out of Thailand as I pleased. Recently I decided to come back to spend time with my family here so with my dad help I went to the Army recruiting station (Sasadee) of the district I went to primary school in. The matter was slowly sorted out, over the period of two to three months. If you decide to go this route, he will pick up a draft and has to report to the recruiter at the appointed time and place. They will give him a medical examination. There is a possibility of him not passing the medical examination, due to his lack of proficiency in Thai language (spoken and written). It is not something to be scared of. Army has been very picky. because they are too having budget crisis any other government ministries. Many people are rejected, because they were too fat, or too skinny. I'm sure they wouldn't like to spend anytime teaching Thai to anyone.

Just go and talk to them next time he's in Thailand. It is not extraditable offense like any other non-violent "crimes". Army will never enforce a draft on anyone living abroad but he will run into some trouble if he tried to get a job in Thailand by the virtue being a Thai national, perspective employers will ask to see his military record. It is very difficult thing to explain for anyone who hasn't gone through to the process.

If I sound like an Army's pet, well I do apologize. I wholeheartedly disagree with the whole thing but I had to do what I got to do so they will just leave alone.

I'm still being charged one baht per minute for internet even after receiving the confirmation SMS. what settings are you using on the iPhone.?
