I pay staff, pay myself, pay taxes and unfortunately deal with Thai civil servants. We're not all old and broke round here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one has to get permission to stay somewhere, one is not a resident ergo one is a visitor, and depends on those Thai civil servants to remain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual suspects: Nail salon, hair salon, a take away featuring only french fries and croissants, a condo in Pattaya to rent out etc etc etc. I keep telling them, that one only sees the few successful start- up's, nobody talks about the majority that never got off the ground. Why would you care about your ex? Block her and never accept contact from her again. So many 'soft lads' on this forum.

So many 'soft lads' on this forum. Why would I block my best friend? We divorced for "technical reasons". Besides, it's her money at stake, not mine. I would hate to see her money dissappear in some bottomless pit in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to give me a lot more information to guess. You are not a Thai national but don't need to extend a visa. Not much to go on and I'm not psychic.

Cannot recall the last time I was asked for a bribe by a civil servant. You must be very unlucky.. or doing something dodgy to attract the requests. Nothing special. Just own and manage a soapy.
