Work permits

[Bob1million]

So it appears that foreigners can now work in thailand although they can only do certain jobs. So what are these ???

There is no real change, or list of jobs you can do.

I think maybe the OP has mis-understood the WP changes.

You still need to comply with all the same regulations as before to get a WP. 

Some jobs that were listed as Thai only can now be done but only a very few.

There are hundreds of industries in Thailand that employ foreigners. Depends what skills, experience and qualifications you have as to whether they would or could employ you

Just for laughs? Foreigners have always been able to work in Thailand with a work permit, and there have always been the same list of restricted jobs.  Employers have always had to have their company name listed on the WP along with address. What am I missing here? Did someone just reprint and ancient newspaper article?

Actually, a lot depends on the wording of your work permit application. There are not too many absolute prohibitions if you describe what you are doing in a clever way. Use an experienced lawyer if you need help, though some labor offices are also surprisingly friendly if you politely ask them for advice.
