Pattaya — Police Region Two and Immigration Police arrested a 34-year-old Chinese man and five foreign employees for running an illegal hairdresser’s shop in Pattaya.

The shop, creatively called “Hair Salon” was located in plain sight on Pattaya Second Road in Banglamung, Chonburi. Police officers led by Pol. Maj. Gen. Teerachai Chamnanmor busted the shop yesterday, November 21st, after receiving a tip-off from anonymous concerned citizens that the shop was operated by a Chinese national without a work permit.

 

Under the Thai Foreign Business Act, hairdressing and other beauty treatment jobs were one of the professions strictly reserved for Thai nationals only, according to Pol. Maj. Gen. Teerachai.

I saw a British Farang working as waiter at Beefeaters restaurant in Pattaya. I wonder if he's going to get arrested as well?

Dob him in & see

(tis the 'Land Of Snitches' after all)

Good.

They need to arrest all these You Tubers w/o permits who are using and exploiting Thais, especially Thai females for financial gain.

[ukrules]

I guess that meeting with 'Lord Xi' didn't go as planned recently so they're launching  a major crackdown on Chinese illegal activity ????

 

Doesn't reflect well on China.

I didn’t think any Chinese were allowed outside China

They can most certainly employ foreigners as servers nowadays, loads of them from adjoining countries. Not sure if there are restrictions preventing a Brit being one other than dismal pay.

The topic isn't about your live-in girlfriends.

Stupid medieval law, especally as Thais are very lazy and need Brmese men to come to work. If the Thai people were working there would be less debts, and a better country... Yes they want a job if it is paid more than 25.000 THB a month .. Try to find somebody for a small issue to solve at home.. they won't come at all, as a few hours or a day is not paying enough..even if you offer them 1.000 THB a day to solve the problem, as i did many times.. 

[Lucky Bones]

Hey, he took the job a Thai must only do.....but won't do.

Meanwhile Thai man off to gf or mummy's house to relax all day.????????

They are also stealing jobs from Russian and Ukrainian women who live in Pattaya and do the same kind of business for years...

Honestly , these chinese are beginning to make the Nigerians look like saints !

He claimed that he had no idea it contravened the law. He also claimed he had no idea he had to have work permits for his staff.

He then said that he had left all his ideas in China and would need to get more ideas from there. 

Officers replied that would be a good idea and suggested to put the new ideas in a brown envelope for easy access.

What rubbish, you need to get out more and see how hard Thais work in the fields.

Oddly enough, after a short "discussion" with the Chinese man, it was ascertained that the real owner was indeed a small, flip flop wearing, dark skinned Burmese man.

 

The police are currently appealing for information - the perpetrator is described as "short black in slides"

[Tarteso]

Stealing job to Thais ?

Have it on good authority from a Thai farmer friend who insists his fellow countrymen are lazy and unreliable.....

That must be true then.

[NorthernRyland]

In typical Chinese fashion they put the entire sign in Chinese and probably only spoke Chinese or would take Chinese customers.

Maybe that means they're becoming middle class and not willing to waste their valuable time on trivial things. Many trades people in the US have a minimum cost to come to your house, even if they do nothing.

 

On the other hand it seems many Thais aren't motivated by money as they already own transportation and have free housing. I don't blame them myself but it is annoying if you need some help but then maybe I should be blaming myself for being lazy. ????

His real crime was being seen to be successful and investing properly in an attractive hair salon. Jealous "concerned citizens" read "lazy competitors" were his downfall. Amazing he got away with it for one year before they dobbed him in. Maybe only as now things are busier. Amazing Thailand!

Ah ..... the "Thai Foreign Business Act" again, much better known as the "Alien Business Law" - what a handpicked collection of completely outdated medieval nonsense written by stone agers and Neanerthalers alike.

Among others you'll find architecture, ice carving and indeed, hairdressing and tour guiding being restricted to the semi-divine Khon Thai who are unwilling, unreliable or unloyal towards an activity called "work".
Not even half of all those Thai tour guides (also protected in above set of laws) speak languages needed to accommodate foreign tourists. And I am not referring to Greek, Portuguese, Icelandic or other possibly more exotic languages but understandable English, French, German or Spanish. All of them are in for the 20% - 35% commission on purchases done by tourists. 

If the Chinese "steal" jobs, then go and hunt them down in droves to find the stolen items. 

In closing, anyone with a fairly decent eye sight can witness the skills of the local figari when passing i.e. a school yard. 

While indeed, strictly speaking, illegal, the subject is pathetic and serves for a good laugh at best! 

In closing, the really hard working people are found in i.e. the rice fields of Northeastern Thailand; their almost complete absence of education  restricts those to hard labour.

It sounds like you're referring to the maker of this youtube video.

 

How does anyone even know if he earns money off his videos?    I  think overall Youtubers do more good than bad.
