Thai Ministry list of 'farang forbidden jobs' is a barrel of laughs

[BigBadGeordie]

I think they have realised their mistake, I could access it earlier this morning, but this is the current web page! Anyone got an off-line copy?

[Buffy Frobisher]

Has anyone managed to download or screenshot that page, and if so can you please post it? I'm getting "Access denied" when I try the link to http://www.mol.go.th/en/content/page/6347 - I guess they read TVF there too and have panicked .

[BigBadGeordie]

Need a screenshot of the page before changes, please.

Is proofreader excluded?

[Bluespunk]

Here is the list.

I'm particularly gutted by no. 21. (the card) I've always been a bit of a card.

I didn't know no. 23 (Job Buddha) was based in Thailand nor up for grabs. I would have thought non-Thais could do that elsewhere, though.

No. 18 (Lghn a job) baffles me completely but I suspect it's what the compiler of this list does.

Oh no, look at what ThaiVisa have done.

We've embarrassed the Labour Ministry to take down the English webpage - well done everyone!

(it was OK 15 minutes ago, but now has gone)

This proves my suspicion that TVForums are actively monitored by planted Govt agents!

Or somebody with an ounce of common sense saw how terrible it was and took it down to spare it from more deserved ridicule.

Curious what a "The young, and some hand-twisting spiral" does?
