Popular Post bob smith Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 (edited) I am currently staying at my main house with mrs. smith. we have just arrived back after a nice little vacation touring around Thailand. I came back home early this morning and noticed that the yard was a bit messy so i got the broom out and started sweeping. About 10 minutes later I heard a noise from over my fence. it was the juristic girl, she said hello and asked me if I was thai. I said no, she then said in broken english, ‘oh i'm so sorry but you cannot be working here’ I said i'm not working i'm cleaning my house. to which she replied, that under thai law that is classed as work and I cannot do it without a work permit. she said that they offer cleaning services in the project and I was stealing jobs from a Thai. so I said what happens if I spill some coffee on the floor, can I mop it up or do I have to call a thai to come to do it? she just smiled and walked away.. I was stunned. she said that if i didn't stop immediately she would take a photo and send it to the head office. I reluctantly stopped and went to make a brew inside. is she correct in what she is saying? under thai law is it illegal for a foreigner to clean his own house and the land that it sits on? it’s absolute madness imo. they seem to be watching us like hawks at the moment, looking for any excuse to catch us out.. regards, bob.

Popular Post 0ffshore360 Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 Nominal domestic activities have long been excluded as work. Maybe the juristic girl has a list of hopeful applicants as domestic staff? Many years back helped a person to transport belongings into a rental in a gated community. Within an hour there were women at the door asking if a house maid was already employed. Not happy when told no and none wanted either. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post marin Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 (edited) Quote bob, you wake up each day with a new "tall tale" that is more outrageous than the one before. You have not been travelling you have been posting on here non stop since your return from your short flounce. What a bunch of BS this one is though. Anyone who has lived here for any length of time at all will know what part of your body you are talking out of.

Popular Post marin Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 Quote bob you obviously dont live in a gated muban as just last week you were complaining about a bum peeing on your gate. So why would a simple townhouse down a soi have a juristic person? I think your neighbor who does like like you is playing with your head. Nah you are simply making this up as you do 99% of the stuff you post. 1 1 1 1 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
