Shannoblic Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Dear All, In the New Year my grand-daughter [9 year old UK citizen] will be visiting my wife and I for a 2 week holiday. Here in Thailand our daughter-in-law [mine by reason of marriage] has a small bakery making cakes, biscuits and similar things. She has offered my grand-daughter the opportunity to work with her for a day making the things and then to help her on her stall in the local market to sell them. My grand-daughter is very keen on cooking and baking at home back in the UK. This is an education and experience opportunity in my opinion and my grand-daughter is quite excited about it. I know that farangs cannot work without a permit but can anyone see what could happen if she did help on the market stall for a few hours? Where I live there are very, very few farangs and it would be noticed immediately. I would appreciate any opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I would think that a work permit is the least of your worries here. As you say, playing/education etc. The only very slight worry might be a jealous 'concerned citizen' complaining to the police about possible child labour. Your D-I-L would be able to handle that one. It is just the granddaughter 'playing'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Minimum age for a WP is, I believe, 15 anyway. Out of public view making the stuff, I would think zero issues. On the stall, maybe just sit and look interested, if you're really worried? On the whole I'm with @Tropicalevo I very much doubt there would be an issue other than the locals fawning over the "pretty young lady" which I'm sure she will like a lot. The first time my UK granddaughters came over (they were 5 and 3), both blue-eyed, blonde-haired, English Roses. We took them to meet madam's family in Pha-Chi. They were both promptly whisked off by Madam's sister to be paraded round the village and spoiled rotten by every woman in sight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
