Do it if you want. 600 baht per hour I think is the government rate. As for the work permit, I have done work (both paid and voluntary) for the police. I have told them I have a work permit and they told me we wouldn't mind if you didn't. we just want your help. Of course much better to have a work permit.

your work permit permits you to work at only one job location.

it has zero value otherwise and can't be used to work somewhere else

Don't be so paranoid.

Are you American by the way?

Guy was just meaning well.

Always a good idea of getting on well with the local plod over here.

Maybe a 2 hour session once a week down the local cop shop teaching English is a way of you getting involved, they learn English, you learn a bit more Thai.

And make new friends....

Win win.

Don't be so paranoid.

 

If he does not have a work permit he would be arrested.

If you've got nothing better to do with your time and you flatly refuse payment, having a cop mate can be extremely handy.

Or dangerous.

 

Personally, i'd never get friendly with any police in this country.....

The approach may well have been entirely innocent and genuine. However, personally, I prefer to have a low or no profile whilst in foreign countries. I stick to the rules but try to be a ghost, and not stick out in anyway.

actually, working for the government is one of the exemptions from work permit requirement.

My lord there are some sour people on this thread. 

 

Pro tip: Not every Thai person is out to get you. Though with the attitudes some display on here, I'm unsurprised why most of their experiences are bad ones 

They are if you let them

I've seen a few You Tube videos of foreigners out in the boondocks with their wives, all of them working on the farm, and videoing every part of it. No Police show up to discuss their lack of work permits? Isn't that only likely to happen if you are running a bar somewhere with a wife and you get grassed up by the competition?

last I checked their were still people in the world that just want to say hello have a little chat. 

 

90 day check in yesterday usual IO was at the 90 day desk. There was a guy sitting next to him I’d not seen before and was dressed differently but a uniform. 

 

I was second in line a the person in front had 6 passports and in the waiting chairs area were 6 people. 

 

The guy guy sitting next to him came over to me. Put his hand on my shoulder where you from? A little chi chat asked if I came alone. Nope wife is in car with the dog. What kind of dog mixed Pom Pom Chihuahua but my wife is all Chihuahua... he laughed

and went out and about. 

 

Guessing the guy guy in front of me was an agent.... he was given

6 No...and told him go down the street. 

 

In and out 15 minutes maybe I’m weird I like going to the IO

its a trip into the big city from the village
