Volunteering in Thailand

[JLCrab]

I posted #27 in reference to the query in Post #1 -- but I'll add this based on my experience 10+ years ago: If you are asked to volunteer by a well-established NGO possibly under Royal Patronage, you are more likely to have lunch with the Governor than to have any problems with the provincial labor office.

I am truly astonished at the people on this board who claim to know more than immigration and labor officials.

TV's "culture" has long been influenced by the fact that the original sponsors and many ongoing ones are providers of legal advice.
