As mentioned it was just an observation, seeing a farang working in a food court is something you don't see on a daily basis...in fact its the first time in the 7 years I have lived here.

Forums are a place to share information that may be of interest to others, if its not of interest to those of a negative disposition, then simply move to the next thread in the forum!

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

Excellent post. Well said. I would add : Do not post about it on a public forum and potentially get someone into trouble.

My partner is 100% filipino

Yet she looks European.

You can not go on looks alone

I'm going to CW for my one-year extension next Tuesday.

Will have a look at the Food Court.

Will not report what I see or not see !!

It's getting too hot here on this thread !! LOL

All I can say is that he has a nerve of steel if he's cooking & serving food for Immigration staff without the necessary visa & work permit!

I have removed some off topic, troll, abusive and etc posts. Any further posts like these will be removed without notice.

A friend of mine was employed by an agency and they didn't make him a visa for like the first 6 months or something. Essentially, he wasn't supposed to be teaching, but that is how the agency seemed to operate.

Anyway, one day they told him they had some extra work for hi teaching adults. At the government office where immigration is located. Being a small complex (not like BKK), all the workers know each other, regardless of their departments. One time he went in, extended his tourist visa and then came back and taught in the office adjacent to immigration. Again...they all HAD to know. They just didn't care.

Wow, all the flaming up and down for a simple observation.

People should look at Post number 8.

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

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

Yep.

When will people stop regurgitating the rubbish posted on here and find out the facts. Yes you can get a work permit for cooking and own the business. Serving - do people really think anyone except a bent cop on the make cares ?

What about the Indian in mega Bang Na foodcourt , do they all have Thai nationality ? They don't speak Thai.

He could be a resident and does this to keep busy

100 reasons he is there

I'm busy with my own life rather than bothering with someone else's.

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!

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 !!

"If so, get in touch with the Thai apologists they solve most of these scathing kind of crimes !!"

Most of the scathing Thai bashing is about as significant as this O/P. Who needs to apologize for anything ... aside from the endless childish whining about everything in Thailand?

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

Ever heard of altruism?

The OP needs to get a life.

You could see a farang in Chinatown selling Hot Dogs, a farang in Sakon selling clothes on the night market, a farang in Phang Khon selling garlands on the daily night market, a farang in Sawang selling dog puppies.

I am seeing them almost daily as we often go to the night markets. Never asked them how do they do it as it is not my business but we do have eye contacts and smile to each other and I normally would support them by buying from them, except I don't want a puppy.

Did anyone ever notice that farang pushing his cart around nanna area soi 4. He used to sell fresh fruit in cups and maybe yougart or whatever. He dissapeared.

Yeah, because someone working at the food court in Chaengwattana is going to be well under the radar.

A few times I have seen "Farang" bosses working in the food dept of big supermarkets like Big C etc., ....I just assumed they were born here as they spoke Thai like a natural

Why do you care?

i am french and i have a son born in thailand from a thai wife and he as two passeport on thai on french and if he want to work in thailand he as no probleme,but i hope he be doing better tan seling food...

if you see him he do not look like thai at all!

he got his back covered

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

Exactly. The police don't shake down everyone breaking the law, just those people they think they can extort money out of.

you seen him there working and you did not have the jangles to ask him what he is doing? but you are asking the people on this forum what was he doing and why and how? well i am from a place far away in the mountains of colorado where we call that being "chicken schlitz" or "no mas jangles" :-)

Why do people persist in the pursuit of trying to get people into trouble that they don't even know?

Sorry but I watched a couple of programs this week about events that occurred between 1933 and 1945.....

This topic should have been locked 2 pages ago IMHO....

No comments about the food still.....

Has he got a work permit????!!!!

Ooh sorry about blurting that out, read it so many times its become some kind of speach impediment I've developed.

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

The horror.

who needs a work permit? what happened to basic human rights? its almost like the fascists won the second world war around this place

The OP needs to get a life.

.......................and so do many other posters here on this thread ........................

ok, so I am thru this thread to its current end, and among all speculations I have missed this one:

If truly a farang, he may have a Thai spouse, living here with a non-O/marriage visa, and has a working permit to legally assist in the business of his wife.

Case solved.

All legal under the scrutinity of Thai officials at CW as of the TVF membership.
