The Public Relations Department (PRD) of the Royal Thai Government invites you to a forum about Immigration Law and Legal Implications of Working in Thailand as a Foreigner.

FREE dinner from 6 PM to 7 15 PM. FORUM from 7 30 PM to 9 PM.

Would you like the newest and most up to date information about Immigration Law or working legally as a foreigner in Thailand? Come and talk to the Chief of Immigration and a representative of the Chiang Mai Immigration Office. There will be an information speech and afterwards you can ask questions.

This is an ideal chance to join and interact with your favorite Helping Hand hosts Jaroonroat Krasaesuk and Wouter Van der Stichel, also known as Khun Tom and Khun Naam. The forum will be broadcast live on 93.25 FM, Radio Thailand, Helping Hand Radio Show.

All people interested in this topic, both Thai nationals and foreigners, are welcome to join this FREE event.

Sawasdee Khrup, Khun David,

Silly me! And it was Chaing Mai Living, not CityLife too!

Need more coffee, obviously!

Location Imperial Mae Ping Hotel

Sridonchai Road

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Are reservations required or just show-up?

Free dinner. I find this hard to believe considering that Thai nationals can attend.

I mean, I could easily bring at least 100 Thai nationals for the free dinner.

There must be some catch.

There is another topic running here

Limited to first 60 people who register. See topic for how to register.

For those with time on their hands, this meeting is now being broadcast live on the internet. Google "93.25 FM Chiang Mai" Maybe it will be helpful, maybe not.

Maybe they are serving Western food and the Thais do not want it - even for free.

is it a trap? a sting? seeing who turns up and the old

'hey you would not be here if you were not working' ploy?

will we see David in the clink?

offering them to play at the piano?? for the other diners?

'hey GOTTCHA!

zey have ze cunning plan zeez immigration folk

No tricks and some very good information was given .

Nobody was arrested. Everyone was polite. The Thai-food buffet line wasn't overrun with the population of entire Thai villages looking for a free meal. Overall, it was a positive evening, as reported by Shana of the Chiang Mai Mail on this thread:
