NoshowJones Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 In the UK I was a musician, driver, had taxi, HGV and PSV licences, and was also a private investigator. I would not be allowed to do any of those jobs here in Thailand. What about you? Is there work you are qualified to do and would like to do here but are not allowed to?

Costas2008 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Back in the old country I was an accountant but I always wanted to be a pimp and manage many girls. Unfortunately all the positions have been taken in Thailand, so I can't see that I will ever fulfil my dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaidDown Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm always on the lookout for one of those 'inactive posts' but they all seem to be for Thais only. I reckon that I am well qualified for such a position, maybe even overqualified.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The first time I arrived here there was a stamp in my passport that said " Prohibited to work". I knew I had arrived in the promised land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soutpeel Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 One suspects the only competency large numbers of farangs have in Thailand is to prop a bar up and slag off the natives, TV has many examples of this skill set amongst its members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkpanther99 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I'd be an English teacher....oh wait... No, seriously, I'd like to be a craft beer brewer or a coffee barista. Or a politician. In fact, forget about brewing beer and coffee. I'd work in politics in Thailand, formulating policy, speech writing and PR, I reckon the current government could use a bit of assistance with that. I'd be like the Malcolm Tucker of Thai politics. Well, why not? Edited April 26, 2015 by pinkpanther99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemiller Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Would love to be a traffic cop and give some of these nutters on the road a lesson or 2. The income from fines could make the country one of the richest in Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
