Not that easy blue. They put you in the truck, take your passport, don't talk to you, take your phone and stick you in the cell and leave you there. When they feel like it they will tell you when your court day is. A 'lawyer' will be at the court as you will be with maybe 10/15 others. You don't get to talk to him or anyone, he just talks to the judge who decides the fine etc then you go back to the cell. If you're being deported you pay for the flight yourself or a friend does, single, one way ticket. They take you to the airport give your passport to the crew and escort you to the plane. Your passport is given to Immigration on landing and that's when you get it back.

If the authorities raid wherever you are operating and determine that you are "working" then it's off to jail, court appearance, fine, deportation, you really don't have any say in it.

 

But if, as you say, it's (at least to begin with) business meetings and discussions you won't have a problem.

 

And it DOES matter what passport you are travelling on as to exactly what's needed to obtain your WP once you get a company going.

 

the authorities wont raid coz i am not opening a store. and i am not staying. what choice does one have in the matter of passport. how many passports u got? is stupid.

i got the sense that i was going to afghanestan so i wanted to ask on a topic. bangedup excons will say the place is toilet. and a bad one without a flush. but i want pure business. employ thais for me share n share alike

What is deternation? A ten year or lifelong ban? I am not into anything illegal, mate? All legit shit. But I want to get there first and talk to the partners. 

Working without wp is illegal. So what is your plan? What you going to do? If you going to open business, and hire thai to work for you, you are just å business owner. Nothing more than an cash supplier for a business. 

All the best, in the end it is your Gun...

Well I got sent home for a new visa after I shot a TV troll 20 years ago so I'm careful now on how I answer.

Look here I tried to do a course in teaching English and I got shafted in the process of getting a job. So I am decided on not looking for a job. In the months since I thought about it and came up with the idea of investing in a business and putting them good Thais to work for me in a win win situation in their own backyard. I have tired driving trucks, mate, I am thinking of investing my money and time in it in Thailand where i had good intentions once. I want to go no other place in damned Africa where I was invited.  But I want to see how the decks are stacked in this gig aforehand in Thailand, if you see what I mean. So I want to come over the dogshit and scoop a lot at it myself with a big spoon if thats not work. Now if that IS work and am going to be abused, I want to do whatever I can to avoid it. See where I am going with that mate?

 Can’t imagine why you wouldn’t,t be a great teacher, but why would anyone want to shaft you?

Can anyone give me names of reputable agencies who supply Thai manpower to work for me as security guards, drivers, office clerks with a working knowledge of English and Thai law ( not lawyers). What if I am visiting to interview them, am I working? What if I set up a company in Australia but operate in Thailand?

Probably not the best time to set up a OZ Thai company, what with the AUD in the dumps and the country currently run by the military.Elections due soon so best to put that on hold.Thai manpower will also be an issue and with a understanding of the law, forget it!
