chanchao Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I'm in the process of finally getting a full time live in maid to do absolutely everything for me, like cook food, wash the car, do the garden, clean the house, walk the dog, wash my socks, etc, etc. However she's not Thai; not even a yellow ID card. I guess that means she's pretty much in the country illegally..? But she's been here all her life and speaks perfect Thai and Muang. And Shan of course (She's Shan (Thai Yai)) Can this get me into lots of trouble? Or just manageable trouble? She's not expensive, just 2500 baht a month. She's also very beautiful!!! Think "Beyonce", but then a bit shorter & cuter. I'm amazed my girlfriend was ok with her. So I really want to get this done, but preferably in a (semi) legal way. Advice? Cheers, Chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Chanchao It won't even be close to being a semi legal situation unless she is eligible to apply for Thai citizenship. As an illegal, she runs the risk of deportation, but that situation prevails whether she works for you or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1p Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I am advised that you could also be taken to task for harbouring and also for employing an illegal alien. Beware one other possible problem. If she turns out to be less than honest, you have a ###### of a problem because, if she runs off with the family jewels you can never expect to find her, and you can not contact the police because you were previously harbouring and helping her in her illegal activities, vis. as an illegal alien. Been there & now wear the Tee shirt!! Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 If the girl is living in and has any accident or is catching attention to the local police otherwise as an illegal, you might be in big troubles.... A solution is maybe that the girl is living outside your home, just coming morning for work, going home in the evening...... Then you can argue, that you did not know, that she is an illegal one, and she just came to your home for some occasional work. You should be careful, never let her alone in your rooms and she should not have a key for entering your house. Otherwise you might find your furniture and other belongings on the other side of the border within some days.... I know personally such a case, where only the walls of the house were the only leftover....even the entrance door was gone... Johann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hiring a non thai maid, what kind of trouble will you get into..... Werll it really depends how good looking she is and whether she is up for much dunnit! Might be ok if ya missus is a swinger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I had many non Thai maids in the past (Burmese) without any problem. One of them, by the way, was killed in a car accident and, surprise, the Thai police did not care,... My two Thai neighbours have Myanmar maids without any problem. I had a few Thai maids with many, many problems. Does it answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I know personally such a case, where only the walls of the house were the only leftover....even the entrance door was gone...Johann Johann, you are absolutely correct, but than Basher got a point too: "how good looking she is and whether she is up for much dunnit!'

the gentleman Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I used to have a stunning leggy maid, my next door neighbour used to look at her doing my gardening from his 3rd floor - oh the single days - then I got married If you would of seen her shoes before seeing her, you might of thought she was a he - (no eric a real lady - 6ft tall, 22 - ok that will do A lot of the maids in Phuket are Burmese, not sure of the legality etc, but in my experience not as good.

Pepe' Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Semi legal, that is just like a little pregnant, isn't it? With the huge cheap labor pool around why would you chance a brush with the legal system. Especially as a farang??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm amazed my girlfriend was ok with her. So I really want to get this done, but preferably in a (semi) legal way. Advice? Don't! Or you may be writing about providing food rather than eating it. Believe legal ramifications have recently increased also with fines in 10-20k range and being foreigner it could have even more serious consequences. The laws are being enforced.

You had no such confidence in your first posting, and your girlfriend only thought it was a good idea. What changed in such a short time ? Added a bit of lust maybe ?
