Popular Post webfact Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 Picture courtesy of the Tourist police Police in Surat Thani have detained several foreigners suspected of operating an illegal daycare and wakeboarding service centre on Koh Pha Ngan. Tourist Police apprehended a 26-year-old Russian woman and an 18-year-old Myanmar woman at a residence where they were taking care of foreign children. The Russian woman confessed to police that she had been working at the daycare for three months while on a tourist visa. The Myanmar woman revealed she had been employed there for over a year as a helper. Both women indicated that their employer was a Belarusian woman, whom police are currently attempting to locate. In a separate incident, police raided Back & Forth Wake Park, targeting illegal wakeboarding services. A Russian man was arrested for operating the facility without proper authorisation since December last year. He was also in Thailand on a tourist visa. Authorities are cracking down on illegal foreign-run businesses, aiming to keep operations within legal boundaries and ensuring the safety and compliance of all service providers. -- 2024-05-17 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 2 1 2 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to what? as if a daycare center run by a Thai is more qualified to take care of children more than a housekeeper in this country... 3 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prohibited jobs have NOTHING to do with whether a foreigner or Thai can do the job!

SAFETY FIRST Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) 4 hours ago, ikke1959 said: A foreigner is not allowed to do something a Thai can do Thank God. I'm so grateful. It would be horrible, could not think of anything worse having all those desperate foreigners arriving in the Thailand for jobs. It wouldn't be the same living here, I'd hate it. I worked legally here offshore Songkhla, my company organised my work permits etc., lots of paperwork and rigmarole to process these visa's. I see many desperate foreigners working here illegally, all losers, no hopers, I hope they get caught, then deported.

brianthainess Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 So it's OK for the Thai Obese lady up the road from me, no education, to run one in a wooden house, open front with no A/C and nothing to play on. ( Thai Kids) I sometimes hear them screaming..........TIT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
