No, Working is defined in the labor law, which is very clear and leaves no room for interpretation. 

Yes, most of them are working illegally.

Look like you keep asking to find somebody to tell you that you can it legally, which you can't they way you like to do it. For a work permit you need either being employed or have your own business.

To get a work permit for while having your own business you need to employ 4 Thai staff for each foreigner you employ, including yourself.

As said above, there is a exemption specifically for seminars/lectures etc.

Where is the definition of "occupation" or "job" then?

Sunbeam, let's make it simple for you, if a Thai can do it, you can't, unless you have got a work permit.......????

There is an exemption for attending, not for organising, conducting or speaking at the same.

 

Consider foreign musicians and performers who enter Thailand to sing in a concert or act in a play.

 

Such artistes apply for a 15 day urgent work permit which allows them to perform at their concert venue for reward.

I don't care if it's technically illegal as long as it's widely tolerated. Prostitution in Thailand is illegal too, but who cares...

Then crack on, but don't come back here complaining, you now have all the info on being caught, being toast, and probably being in a canoe to your birthplace..........????..........................????

This is a newbie mistake. People assume that because the lines aren't where they expect them to be they can do what they like - there are lines and if you cross one of THEIR lines you will know about it.

Can I write my own book? That's 'exerting myself productively'.

No, legally you can not.

Where is the definition of "use"?

Where is the definition of "strength"?

Where is the definition of "intention"?

Where is the definition of "other"?

Where is the definition of "definition" (regarding Thai labour laws)?

Posted (edited)

Anybody wanna muddy up the waters by mentioning the companies that exist to "hire" foreigners, charging them a fee to keep them legal (including paying taxes so they can renew their WP each year)?

 

Edit:  I never used one, so I don't claim to have details.  But they seemed to be real popular with digital nomads before Covid.  As I recall, some of them also provided shared workspace.

Work is what you do at your job. A job is a place where you work. Any more questions?

"Any more questions?".

Yes, how can a 'place of work' be a 'job', surely it would just be a place of work?  None of my jobs were ever the offices I have worked in.

Any more answers?

Isn't it clear?

Running a workshop is "work".

The event site would be your "job".

You need to clarify that inane ''definition.  An event site is a place, a location, not a "job".

Is you're plan to report these people about whom you're enquiring?

I'm not going to report anyone.

Maybe this thread is just your sneaky way of reporting them!

Somehow I doubt that anyone running seminars in Phangan has a work permit. 

Boycott them, then!

Except that cute one with the red stretch leggings.

Yep. Just like reporting Pattaya beach prostitutes. Police will be shocked when they find out!

Well, one of the meanings of the word "job" is a location where you work. "I arrived at my job."

Really?  Where is that specifically stated that organising or speaking at is not included in the exemption?
