SS1 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 So was it proven that she actually charged the tourists money for the transportation, or just helped them out of goodwill? In the latter case, I don't see how that would be interpreted as offering a taxi service (which obviously would be illegal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 8 hours ago, thesetat said: read the whole OP from the source. The fact that it hits worldwide news if enough to show the seriousness of it. Then there is this clip below to show the picture getting bigger. Phuket administration has also agreed to set up a center to deal with illegal alien businesses. This is a result of many complaints by Thai business operators who claim that many foreigners have set up businesses using their Thai spouses or other Thai nationals as nominees. There are more than 200 companies with foreigners holding a 49% stake operating in Phuket. And the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUI is a much easier conviction than proving working without the correct permit. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I wish that this triumvirate of Immigration, Tourist, and Local Police would make also this kind of effort, to slap on the fingers of the local taxi drivers who constantly rip off tourists with inflated prices and generally refuse to turn on their taxi meter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoKorat Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 16 hours ago, webfact said: Ms. Unni faced charges for transporting passengers in her car, and she admitted to the charges. The translation here could be looked at as confusing. It is not against the law to simply 'transport passengers in a car'. It is illegal for a foreigner to drive any motor vehicle in Thailand as part of an occupation - paId or unpaid. The purpose being to protect Thai jobs. Taking the translation literally it could be said that you can't even drive your family around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
