Murf Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Theoretically whats the outcome if you are caught? A big fine or prison? I know 5 years is the max in prison. Anyone know anyone that has been caught and the punishment? Would this also result in a red stamp in the Passport? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Deportation/Blacklist is most likely outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmond Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The safest is do not work if you know you are not allowed to. It is better to be safe than to be sorry. Even PR status is not allowed to work without a WP If you need to work, then get a WP, don't take chances, it is not worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoman Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 A friend was caught playing (actually just sitting in) on stage with a Thai Band at a small club here in Bangkok... They took him to the station, held him for about 9 hours, made all kinds of threats, but eventually let him go with a 10,000 baht fine and the promise to not "Work" in Thailand ever again.... Don't know if the fine was an "Offical Fine" or just went into someone's pocket... Nothing was ever placed in his passport, and he has been back twice since then... That was about 3 years ago....

TAWP Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Aliens engaged in work prohibited to them by Royal Decree shall be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to a fine in an amount ranging form 2,000baht to 100,000 or both. Anyone have any url to the list of the restricted work-areas? Saw it several years ago but cannot find my way back in the 404-jungle of thai goverment sites...
