DGIE Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 All the suspects face a fine of up to 100,000 baht, five years in jail or both. They can also be deported within 30 days, Col Sanchai said. They will wait for their deportation to avoid paying the fine and imprisonment.

NomadJoe Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Don't quote me on this, but I think you need a press visa, or work permit, as a foreigner filming and photographing in Thailand, for financial gain. Obviously, that's National incidents in Thailand to be in the foreign press, or promotional photographs for magazines etc - not weddings. So, whilst wedding photographers are professional, because they receive payment, they may be able to get a work permit for this profession as well. I have not seen it on the occupations for Thai's only list, however, that list does say "manual labour" which can be very broadly interpreted. Below are the occupations a foreigner is not allowed to work in. The 39 occupations and professions prohibited to foreigners Manual Labor Rice farming, animal husbandry, forestry and fishery, except supervisory or specialist work Bricklaying, carpentry, or other forms of construction Wood carving Driving motor vehicles or non-motorized vehicles except for piloting international aircraft Shop-front selling Auctioneering Controlling, auditing and accounting services, except occasional internal auditing Gem cutting and polishing 10. Hair cutting, hair dressing and beautician work 11. Manual cloth weaving 12. Mat weaving or making of wares from reed, rattan, kenaf, straw or bamboo pulp 13. Manual rice-paper making 14.
