It's always a risk working without a work permit. Plain and simple. Just takes one disgruntled Thai to spoil your gig. Sadly, nothing ever seems to happen to the Thai businesses that willing hire foreigners without the correct permits. And the beat goes on... #sellerbeware

Well, could it be that HE was working as an Bouncer, and SHE as a Mama San?

Bad Karma I guess.🙏

They were taken to the Ao Nang Police Station to face charges of working without permission.

What about their employers also be charged? Or is there no law that they violate by hiring foreigners without work permits  - and knowingly. Did these foreigners just sneak in to these establishments and begin to work without any Thai employer awareness? 

The various jobs related especially to the entertainment industry are filled by the owners who surely must know requirement that foreigners need work permits. I don't see how recent reported foreigners being arrested for lack of work permits that otherwise require Thai employer pre-approval be able to work without employer knowledge.

Without arresting Thai employers, the work permit system is a scam on foreigners.

so Bob, after stating you were leaving Thailand and having your profile shut down on Asean Now and never posting in here again, you've returned and proven yourself to be a person who cannot keep his word, just as so many others said would happen.

Why is it sad? They were breaking the law. The scum need to be deported.

Expand  

You've a little problem. You're not deciding, who is “scum”, and will be deported.
Maybe, you'd engage yourself, where you come from. There is a lot of work!

Tourists coming to Thailand surely know its illegal to work same those expats living in Thailand should know better

No work permit no job 

It's not difficult or hard to understand the laws

If caught no excuses find or deported

No not really English speaking 'Falang'  that live in Thailand know there has been a crackdown on Foreigners since the Swiss Kicking guy, weeks if not months ago or don't you know about that either?

Have to wonder how many Dj's have work permits as they seem to be playing everywhere and it's not as if they can hide as their faces are usually plastered all over the place on advertising signs .

Also what about high profile Dj's that have been booked to play from abroad for 1-2 nights in the country ? Is there a special shirt term visa they get ?

They must be total losers to work here for practically nothing and take potential jobs away from Thais.  Disgraceful.

Ever consider they might have been doing this as bit of fun.? The Thai owner is the real loser, being found to operate an illegal business.

The "aliens" being naive. or stupid or both but the owner taking the "potential  jobs" from Thais by choosing not to employ Thais !

Don't ask too many questions… It's just confusing all those “Good Guys”,

“deport, ban, and jail” all that “scum”. 😂

Never been to one, so can someone clarify whether these mega Indian clubs in Pattaya employ only Thai DJ's or can Indians get a work permit for such ?

Expand  

Many "Indians" are Thai Indians working perfectly legally, being Thai.

No, but your manners are 'stone age'.

 

A shame that you can't answer a simple question politely, as a 12/14 Advanced Member.

A shame that as a ten-year member of the forum you don't know what is going on here, something that has been frequently reported here.
