cheeryble Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Oops, Richard Barrow will never ever need a tax document again. He will not get an extension of his work permit and otherwise he will soon be in some kind of other trouble and that for a lousy 1000 THB You actually have absolutely no backup for your statement. Whilst corruption may be common the brazen type suggested here is certainly not everyday and it would be premature to assume this guys boss or workmates would or could defend him let alone that there would be some sort of linkup between taxation and immigration.

Andy from Kent Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Why not tell the officer the posts and photo will be deleted for a mere 1000 ฿. Turn abouts fair play isn't it?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government officers are paid well enough and get early retirement free health care and good pensions. The reason for low corruption in Singapore was that if caught the penalties were real and not worth the risk. Here they can get away with it, nobody ever seems to lose their jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
