Popular Post ikke1959 Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 It only shows that there is an outdated system...Labour laws should be updated and the company knows what they were doing, but apparently they are not the one to blame.. Besides that I think every normal thinking person, knows that young people can't have a long stay here without doing anything. They have to live and need money. Russians for example are fleeing Russia, but they need money and try to get a workpermit in Thailand. It cost a lot of time mostly 3 months and the company have to give a lot of information/papers.. No wonder they don't want to do it for the employee. Besides that long term visa holders should get automatically a workpermit. They are not tourists. Also the retirees.. What does Thailand think people are sitting the whole day on a chair and do nothing?? Even working as a volunteer is not allowed. Every job needs a workpermit... Time for changes 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradiston Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Unnamed journalists allegedly apparently possibly maybe found to be working without a brain. Said allegedly unnamed spokesperson "Brainless reporting is a reserved occupation particularly in tourist areas such as Phuket and Pattaya."

Lopburikid Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 8 hours ago, zzzzz said: IF Bangkok sent down 20 undercover cops to Phuket and they spent 4 hours visiting motorcycle rentals, bars, shops in Karon, Kata, Patong they would easily arrest at least 100 foreign nationals! They dont want to!!! these few arrests are just for show Maybe these two weren't paid for. Working without a work permit is up to 5 years in prison OR B2,000 to B100,000 fine. for both employee and employer. But the employer usually gives a tip.

Banana7 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Each district has to find a least 2 or 3 sacrificial lambs, bring them to the slaughter, proof for public and the Big Phuket police general that they are following orders and producing good results. This way the big guy can tell the Minister he his following his orders. As others have said, there are hundreds of foreigners working and living illegally in Phuket Province. Police in Thailand are for most part, very intelligent. 90% of the time, Police know exactly what is happening in their territories and chose either to act or ignore the activities.

They dont want to!!! these few arrests are just for show These few are the ones that do not want or can to pay the followup money and are therefore exposed. You guess how many people have been caught lately and just bribe their way out instantly, because as you said, if they really cared they could get hundreds of them. Pretty much any canabis dispensary has a russian casually sitting there, waiting to take care of russian customers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
