I really need some staff for my cafe.

It is beyond a joke!

I need a chef and a waiter, good money + free room, elec and water.

Does anyone else have this problem?

It just seems impossible to find staff here in Pattaya.

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Not easy!! Have you tried the Job Centre? http://pattayajobcentre.com/

Yeah I have posted 4 adverts there, just put a new one today, 700 to advertise for 1 month. No Joy.

I have had 2 chefs and 3 waiters, all of them were either incompetent, crazy, lazy, of just a plain old liability.

Join the club Stephen , I been having this problems for the past year and it's been getting worse in the past 3-4 months.

Another major problem is once you get the staff and offer them the job, they just do not show up, some stop showing up after a few days.

Then do not expect them to actually do any work, I have to tell my staff every single day to put water into a fish tank and it's still not done.

I think at the moment , being a low season, many go back to their village to help with the farm

PS. You have only had 5, I change staff almost monthly. My night shift would go to sleep at 23pm , while I am still there ( talking about crazy )

Also works both ways! I have a Thai friend who worked as a waiter for years , the owner did a runner so my friend went to college and attained professional qualifications in the food industry, he has been actively job hunting in Pattaya for some time but keeps getting told he has to pay a 6000 baht bond before they will give him a job! Bit difficult when you are unemployed! He is now thinking of going back home until November as it is impossible to pay rent etc without a job!

Maybe canvass around the bus station. The fresh fish are more eager??

And yes, if there is anyone looking for good reliable staf pm me and I will put you in touch!
