Pattaya Police Target Belgian National In Work Permit Raid

Recommended Posts

If they closed, the employees would be gainfully employed in other areas of the growing service and manufacturing sectors and the buildings re-rented to more socially useful business.

Your serious aint you ???........:whistling:

Most definitely...get out of the fereng ghettos sometime and see the real Thailand and its booming (non-fleshpot) economy [Thai stock market up 20% YTD...USA market flat YTD!].

Well if you are seeking good looking women, Rayong has Pattaya beat but the fact that is number one in HIV in Thailand may not make it such a wise choice.

You may not be a newbie in terms of years lived in Thailand but I wonder if you go out every night and also work during the daytime.

A lot of people who live here do not need to work and are out almost every evening.

Your statement about beer bars is obviously flawed unless you have visited at least a small percent say 500 on a regular basis for a couple of years.

The old timers have bar managers call them when someone exciting shows up from out of town.

If you want to play the dance before you pay game the kind of club you mention is great as long as you like the music and understand the rules.

I would say he was an older guy who does not drink much or like women. Probably does not know much about the bar scene.

Then why has he chose Thailand to live in then ?...:blink:

I have never figured it out. I guess it will always remain a mystery to me.

I know people who live in the most beautiful places in the world who spend half of the year in Thailand. It’s for the women. That I can understand.

It is not like it is any secret. There are more hookers per capita here than any other place in the world. That sets the tone of the entire country.

And yet people come to Thailand and rant about it’s major attraction.

Yes but they kept his passport. Seems however an other barowner was involved.

the Thai economy is doing fine. Agricultural and manufacturing exports make up most of the Thai economy, with tourism a nice cherry on top.

The 'Thai' economy is doing ok due to weaknesses' in the western currencies. And despite the SET figures that you quote etc..........does not actually mean they are accurate.

And the other 90% lied....:whistling:

Took some friend to the airport and they were given questionaires from TAT by some young collage girls (in standard uniforms). "Why you visit? - temples, etc" question came up. Nothing on the form about the bar / nightlife scene, so they wrote under OTHER - "Visit bars and Gogos". Handed the forms back and we saw the girls read the form and look back at us in suprise, but not horror.

soi Bua Khow is a cesspit

probably very true, but a bit off-topic lol

It is all new and sparkling. I preferred it 12-15 years ago when it was tin shack beer bars and Soi Diana was still a dirt track. Now a concrete jungle with loads of EMPTY shophouses. Look at the Shinning Star development on Soi Leng Kee. The Vogue Hotel has opened but only 2-3 shophouses have been occupied.

I live near the area because there are no houses on Walking Street and crossing Sukhumvit Road is a death trap at night. I drive around Thailand, so realise why the girls want the golden sparkle of Pattaya compared with 4,000 a month on the factory lines, or less in the paddy fields.

Yes, I am a pensioner, but finances from UK taxed investments, so pour money into the Thai economy.

BACK ON TOPIC:

Many people do not know that 10% of the "Fine" goes to the person who reports the "Infringer".

Rarely is a "Receipt" issued and also rarely does the guy get deported unless they make a fuss, as it leaves the "cash supply" in place for the next "Raid". Also, if the place closes, more Thai workers are thrown out of a job.

In TV a couple of weeks ago, I read of a guy in a Walking Street Bar being "Fined" 50,000 baht for SHAKING HANDS!

AMDT for typos

Sorry to hear about this incident, since it could mean trouble for many others too. I have a minimart, and my TGF takes care of it, but sometimes she has to go to the hong nam, so I sit in for her. Am I stupid for this, maybe so, but its a fact of life. I dont feel Im taking work from Thai's, but I am giving her work. We are not making money at this business, but this is just a chance to be together. If someone has a bar or minimart or other small business here, they he is of course doing some work also, but should he be arrested, I think not.

Are we farangs just supposed to give our TGF a wad of cash and say "start a business"? We are the managers, in one way or the other, with contacts, know how or just our own ideas. According to some, if we even open our mouth, we are "working", so should be arrested and deported. Yes, we do put a lot of money into the Thai economy, one way or another.

Could be we should be watching out for each others backs, instead of stabbing.

Please take your story to immigration and the police station on soi 9.Let us know if they agree with you.

p.s.: I agree wholeheartedly with you but I'm not a thai.

Yes and preferably after doing that they would like us bugger off back to our home countries :bah:

I'd like to ask a very stupid question, I hope you will forgive me...

A bar/restaurant/mart business should have enough Thai employees to warrant a work permit for the owner?

Why don't these people get a work permit?

I know many bar owners have one and are allowed to work in their bar.

I doubt that for a bar you can get a workpermit.Maybe for an upscale restaurant or a foodmart,but I'm sure that a beerbar doesn't classify.

There are plenty of farang bar managers with work permits. Larry at Secrets for a start.
