Hi, can i get a work permit to cook in a thai restaurant or in my wife´s ?. I have seen some farang cooking and do not know whether they can or not. Is there any diference between cooking thai or farang food?. thanks everyone.

What nationality are you?

Are you a proven specialist in Italian, German, Korean, Swedish or whatever cousine?

Cooking a Thai hot dog won't give you a WP...

Please tell us more about your background!

No.

Are you telling me that for example the oriental hotel can not hire a french cook?.i guess nobody can get a work permit to cook thai food but to cook farang food?, a thai person opens a french restaurant and the cook has to be thai?, and in case you farang spend the famous 2 millions, you can not get a WP either?. thanks.

I would venture to guess over 700 foreign chefs are working in Thailand with a work permit. One hundred of them are working for another employer with salaries.... 50,000 Baht to 200,000 Baht per month. The other six hundred are the Managing Directors and not just the "cook."
