pauljones Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The Pattaya Mayor says the Jet Skis are unregistered and they are independent businessman. The City has no control over them. Apparently, they just show up, uninsured, conduct business, don't pay tax, rent or and fees. Is it possible for others to purchase a few jet skis and show up on Pattaya Beach and do business? I wonder what would happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 You'd need a work permit of course, either that or you'd need a very very brave Thai to front the operation, best line up a series of replacements for him/her, in the event something untoward should happen!

Nowhereman60 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Could that be another little white lie coming from the local government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I have seen a European driving a pickup truck pulling a number of jet ski's along Jomtien Beach road, I guess he must have some involvement, maybe a silent partner, who knows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadbin Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 To the OP, who has many posts of a negative nature, I say go to set one up (please OP, set one up). Then see what happens. Also, if you have no intention, as I suspect of setting up a business of this nature, why ask the question? Are you that bored? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Be prepared to see your own demise. After that maybe you could talk in person to Buddha and have him send some lightning bolts down on the current mafia running the jet skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has a large family who like to use jet skis? maybe he has many friends who likes to use jet skis? how do you know he's running a business?

Tokay Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 There are a few foreigners involved in that business and the scams as well. If you are well connected, you can do it. Otherwise prepare to have your skis destroyed and possible bodily harm inflicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
