Farang Serving Food at Cheang Whatthana Immigration

[chappie1207]

Whilst at immigration the other day I went to the food court for lunch, as I walked around the small food stalls I passed one stall with a farang cooking and also serving the Thai immigration staff.

How can he get a visa and work permit for this?

[Briggsy]

He may have Thai nationality.

He may not have Thai nationality but be a volunteer at Immigration.

He may be neither of the above but be known to Immigration.

Only someone just off the last plane would not understand that laws here are enforced selectively.

[ubonjoe]

Perhaps he has Thai citizenship.

[glegolo]

Maybe, maybe, maybe..... Maybe he just bought a service and a workpermit via/from one of the ads here at this forum??

The only way that you will find out for sure is go back and ask him and trust that he is telling you the truth!

Go upstairs

[falkan]

you can always ask him?

[Mario2008]

The secret is in the work description. You might not get a work permit serving food, but you can get one for cooking food.

[paz]

He applied for an extension for reason of cooking but was asked to provide proof.

Only worry about your self and what you can get or not, other people and their situation is really none of your business.

[Gonsalviz]

Why do you make this any concern of yours. The Thai government has people to take care of these things. If they do not, it still is no concern of yours.

[KittenKong]

The new penalty for overstaying is washing dishes.

I have seen students at school that look foreign - even light brown hair but we're Thai and very poor English skills.

Possibly the father abandoned the kids long ago.

Can't judge by their face or color of their skin.

Just wait till an 'Indian' tailor tries to sell the OP a suit...

[krey]

Maybe he is on a COOKING ED Visa and he is in the midst of an immigration test

[ezzra]

Maybe he doesn't have the 20,000 baht penalty and they put him to work in lieu of the payment,

like in a restaurant when you don't have the money to pay for your meal...

People should look at Post number 8.

[mihalis]

Ask him.............

I doubt very much its a concern, i also doubt Chappie 1207 is loosing any sleep over this. Its an interesting notice, seeing a farang working in an immigration center. There are obviously reasons why and how this farang is working at the center, but sometimes, just sometimes, curiosity does get to some of us..

The OP was just wondering seeing a 'farang' working in a food court.

The OP was not "concerned".

No need to flame him.

Friendly forum or not ?

[eeeya]

Here we go, thai visa court is in session again.. hang him high!

[robertthebruce]

Why would someone do that job, imagine the wages ????

I dont agree at all with that, altho in this particular case i do

People should look at Post number 8.

Next people should look at post number 1 and notice it says serving

[mercman24]

GOD, some people , get a life will ya, getting like the school playground on here. nah, nah, na nah, nah,

They should read the whole sentence, it says cooking and also serving. That can be a big difference when it comes to the a work permit.

Try getting out of the other side of the bed tomorrow

Or beat him up or threaten him with scalding water until he admits this terrible crime ... just a thought ......

More importantly who gives a flying f*%6 mate .. is it bothering you ? If so, get in touch with the Thai apologists they solve most of these scathing kind of crimes !!

It is likely that the guy is legal, and not dossing about in some grind house on an ed visa.
