Anyone got contacts for these two. I am always in search for good workers. 80% of Thai labour sucks. A tiny proportion of that sell that talent in Massage parlors.

In case of the Turkish guy. No salary but still charged for working without a work permit? So you can't even clean a friend's business as a favour now ???

How about working on your own car !?!?

I can recall past reported instances of foreign volunteers being arrested. The most famous was after the Phuket tsunami when lots of volunteers came to help. Very negative publicity for Thailand 

Why bother ? Myanmar illegals have no right on a decent life in Thailandanyhow, and farangs.. should have dumped their money art Suvarnabhmi anyhow, and then return per direct. 

Did somebody already filed a claim against Thailand for neglecting their Tsunami warning system + any measurements to avoid damage/losts of life ?

KPN police is well known for "local assistants" - thais searching for any misconduct and reporting back. No secret they work for "share" of bribe. 

Say you want to sell 'shrooms at Full Moon Party? you'll need to contact them, agree on "installments" and God Speed.

These 2 cases and just an example of very careless thinking.

So, does that mean I now have to find, AND pay someone to change A light bulb, in the house I stay in. As technically it is not my house as I do not own the land, Farang you see!, and there for ultimately the house, even though you may have paid for it to be built, and all that. Would belong to a Thai person!

 

Would hate to steel someone's job from them

I was seeing all these videos on YouTube of some Russian POS advertising his services for cctv and I truly hope it was this comrade and hope he is sent back to the Russian front

To me, the only thing of note in this item is..... why on earth did they go to the trouble of attempting to make it look like a single photo when it is quite clearly two?

My late friend Tony was one of them at his own expense he flew out of the UK to give assistance but was turned away

I was wondering how someone doing "high end IT" got caught. Because most of that would be people logging in remotely to a company offshore...

Figured it had to be someone doing it for a Thai company...

Only to find installing CCTV cameras is apparently "high end IT" in Thailand...

Locals too incompetent to do the job. So get some expats in to do it properly, on time, own tools, cleaning up and honest pricing.

That entire Koh Samui area seems to have become the new foreign criminal hub of Thailand.

As I remember it, it used to be Pattaya and Phuket.

Pattaya is now a nursing home and Phuket I don't hear much about these days.

The times, they are a-changin'...

Where's the local, national criminal hub in Thailand, then, since you are so well informed?

Bangkok for sure.

Captain Obvious just landed to the Planet Earth!

every megapolis is a criminal hub. even KL and Mogadishu.

 

I think the Bangkok is very safe for ordinary farangs. But how to define "safe"?

 

Walking at wee hours at Lard Prao's subsois, slums of Klong Toey, Yannawa - still sounds like a suicidal mission. But the same goes to Pattaya, Bangla and many places.

too much sarcasm might be taken "out of context".

 

but yet, that was a good question:

I wasn't talking about your question but the question I was replying to in the first place.

I have no idea ho to define a safe city. Safety is a relative concept.

What I know is how to define dangerous: you look at the stats.

Bangkok is clearly the most dangerous city in Thailand.

It is - as you said - pretty obvious but I was replying to a moron asking a dumb question.

I used to live on the border of Klong Toey - never felt threatened and still alive today.

I have walked all around Bangkok. Poncy areas and slums. The friendly folk were in the slums. Often offered water or some snack.

 

I define a safe city as somewhere where my wife was confident enough to walk home alone, in the wee hours of the morning, and not get mugged.

(She was mugged twice in her home town - Birmingham UK, and that was during the day.)

 

Bangkok is not that dangerous. It is only the large population that skews the stats.

Most of SE Asia is very safe compared to many western/African/ ME countries.

Much crime in Thailand never gets recorded, or proceeds to the next stage of prosecution. BIB negotiate a settlement, for a fee of course! 

 

A friend tried to break up a bar fight between 2 foreigners. One guy swung a punch, which hit my friends wife, smashing her teeth. BIB arranged compo to repair the damage, but as wife had a lot of pain she wanted him charged. Never happened, as he paid off the BIB and the records went into the bin.

Another reason is that the prisons are already full.

I was helping a friend to fight a case in Bangkok. Outside the courts were illegal businesses, and people sleeping rough.

I asked the lawyer why were they not arrested and put away.

His response was that there was no point. Nowhere to put them, so they were left to stay there.

It seems that prisons are for political detainees these days.

sounds good! and they all admitted/confessed. and my cat blows fire. 

 

FYI: CCTV is about 500thb per camera in beloved Bangkok and cheaper in KPN

High income IT? what is so "information" in attaching cameras to the wall?

KP is a hell more expensive than Bangkok 500  baht gets you very little on the island these days !

No, this powertool seems to be half-vanished like in "Back To The Future" 🙂
