scotbeve Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The expat reps and such do, in fact, get stamped out - they have WP. SE Asians (non-Thai) living in TH and working in the GOT do not get stamped out. They live in TH, work in office, and pay TH tax. Nope, your information is incorrect and I do know this as a fact...expats reps have on occassion been stamped out the country while travelling by crewboat from Songkla, this is infact a mistake on Songkla immigrations part and if you actually take immigration to task on this point and present a valid WP, they actually back down and do not stamp you out/in the country.... If travelling by chopper they are not stamped out the country. As pointed out earlier the debate is still on as regards WP requirements for expat "marine crew" who work exclusively in the GOT, one school of thought suggests that they should be on a full WP, its is still a grey area and immigration/labour department have yet to come up with a definitive answer on this one, although have heard through the grapevine that "very soon" it will mandatory that non-thai nationals will require a full WP while working in Thai terroritial waters, but have been hearing this rumour for many years... Soutpeel, One thing is for sure - and probably will be for some time - it's a very grey area.... Sorry mods... we seem to have gotten side-tracked here.... Back on topic... There was a poster that toyed with the idea that the temple could be a joint-country attraction.... Would be a good idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbeve Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Not publically availible and cant PM you, you will just have to take my word for it... Soutpeel, They are available - as you probably know - but at a high cost.... plus you have to be a "boat" owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiphidon Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 "PM Yingluck Shinawatra's affirmation on facebook" What's next - she going to have a myspace page with Hello Kitty wallpaper? Did you forget that Abhisit wrote about political activities on his facebook regularly or did you think this was just a Yingluck affection? In fact just before the election he used his facebook page to make a heart felt plea entitled, "From the bottom of my Heart, to all Thais" - the full length ramblings of which can be read here (in an English translation) http://www.prachatai3.info/english/node/2573. Basically he is in CYA mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically he is in CYA mode. Lot of politicians and even PMs are using social media nowadays. It's just another information channel. What matters is that the official information channels should not be forgotten. A piece of info on a facebook page can be seen as inadvertently or on-purpose leaked if not available as official news. "but it's in facebook" has no legal value, but can and will be used against you of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
