sambum Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 "...........charging 70,000 Baht per head for tours" What kind of a tour is that? A "help yourself to all you can carry from the local gold shops" kind of tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was violating employment laws, but it doesn't sound like he was defrauding his customers. At 70k a pop I think that was fraud! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they been caught running illegal travel agencies, bashing Russians to death, doing bill runners in brothels, running over the locals, touching up kids sexually? Or do they behave themselves as guests in a foreign country should? One thing I do love about the Thais is that they have very good manners, are very hospitable and welcoming. I can’t recall ever meeting a Thai Karen. we Brit’s can learn a lot from the Thais. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget all of the corrupt rich politicians and police who own properties in London. Police General Torsak Sukvimol (Big Joke's boss) is under investigation by the NACC for not declaring his two properties there.

There's a few British who try and do tour guides here, marketting themselves covertly on social media (ie presenting themselves as just normal vloggers but the deep line secret is they want you to buy a tour of them), and judging by the details i seen the get paid back into the UK account. Quite a few famous british tiktokers who have been clearly doing this, getting people signed up, or have done this in the past.

Utter nonsense. You need to have lived at least 7 years, and worked. If you came to the UK through marriage your partner needs to be earning at least 30,000 pounds approx a year (and this is rising). Then have to do a life in the UK test (which trust not even the locals would pass), then a language test. Then after you pass all that <deleted>, criminal record check, and can afford the application you then after all those years can become a british citizenship and get a passport. It's not easy at all.

DonniePeverley Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Follow a few of these hardcore 'influencers' from the UK on TikTok who sprout out that the UK is not great and come to Thailand mantra (without ever giving you all the details) - they create a platform of entertaining videos, seemingly offering advice. Then you get the odd message from them they are doing a tour. Even some of the major guys on TikTok have done this sort of thing in the past. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
