webfact Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Foreign Street Vendors Arrested for Working Without PermitsStory by Albert JackPATTAYA: -- At 11pm, on July 27, Banglamung police officers arrested three street-food vendors for working without valid permits.Thirty-two-year old Cambodian national, Mr Jim, twenty-four-year old Mrs Mien and nineteen-year-old Mr So-Nai, who are both Burmese, were arrested in the Neunplubwan, Kaonoi Community area of Pattaya.Two fruit carts and a roti cart (all motorcycle side-cars) were confiscated.An official said that they take these matters very seriously because it is considered as ‘taking away a Thai’s profession.’ Full story: http://pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/228709/foreign-street-vendors-arrested-working-without-permits/ -- Pattaya One 2016-07-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but tell me how farang ladies do their stuff in bars with no problem....? A free ride for the prosecutors, or perhaps a blowing in the wind job? Green and blue eyes and blonde hair helps a lot.

Maybe you could ask the Brexiteers for their opinion on this. There is one above this post, who now at once doesn't agree with what he defended last month I'm a Brexiteer and my opinion is, quite right too. In the 15 years I was in Thailand I spent a small fortune keeping legal. The real improvement would come from removing all the Indians working in the markets, it's kind of hard to buy something from a Thai in the clothes markets and as I understand it, their contribution is 500 a day or something to local plod?The problem will come if they decide to levy the same amount of "professionalism" towards construction workers. The country might well slow down a bit then.... As a matter of interest can anybody answer this? Don't neighbouring countries get an automatic kind of wp on arrival? I seem to remember the Burmese coming in at Ranong were allowed to work in various jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepattaya1961 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Maybe the foreign food vendors were being employed by a Thai; I guess the Thai will be fined THB 200,000 for employing foreigners without work-permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What irritates me is the hypocrisy and one-sided corruption, allowing Russians to do things other foreigners would never dare to do. If everyone could do it, great.
