Teaching In Thailand

[bkk barney]

just as a warning to some of you teachers working here without a work permit, the tourist police volunteers do monitor this site so it is probably best if you do not give out too much information about your selves.

If you are gonna flame someone make sure you read the original post first..

He actually said...

the tourist police volunteers

volunteers... not regular Tourist Police, but Farangs volunteering to help the tourist police, they are active in Pattaya.

Whether or not they would be checking visa/work permit status from their minivan by Walking Street..... I don't know !!

There is at least one that posts here too.

I'm not surprised that they had problems reading ladybird books when their English teacher is incapable of reading a post properly.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. Couldn't you have posted this on one of the OTHER threads already open about teaching and work permits, "Barney?"

[kenkannif]

Just out of interest do these volunteer police have work permits? As I thought that even if you were doing volunteer or charity work (unless you work for an NGO? Like the BC?) you still needed a work permit?

Also wouldn't it be more of an Immigration concern than a police concern? And aren't they mainly based in Pattaya rather than Bangkok (or do they hang out in KSR?)?

Sorry this is a tad off topic, but I'm interested in knowing?

ken, unfortuneately these guys are allowed to work here illegally by the tourist police whereas teachers are not protected by such high powered ppl, yet the volunteers for the normal police are setting up bar owners for working illegally, i assume the tourist police volunteers will start doing the same in the near future. lovely ppl we live amongst, i remember when i first came to Thailand and everybody said dont trust the Thais, well that has certainly changed now...

They just snitch, right? Seems like a dangerous vocation for a farang in Thailand, maybe especially in Pattaya...

Immigration is a branch of the police department.
