Volunteering on a retirement visa by Proandgo
I read that even if you are volunteering, you need a work permit. If you are on a retirement visa, can you get a work permit to volunteer?
I guess I have lived a very sheltered life because it appears to me that it is so idiotic not to allow someone to benifit society by volunteering their time with no compensation. Having said that, I guess the completely legal way is not to do ... Read More

I feel the BIG picture is what benifits the entire community not just a small group. If a person is not spending money on goods and/or service, that leaves more money to be spent to be spent on different goods and services. This way the entire ... Read More

Has anyone in the government ever been able to give a reasonable explanation as to why they are not willing to accept this free and avaible resource ( retirees volunteer labor). I would guess there are 1000s of hours that expats would volunteer ( if ... Read More

Thanks for the information Do other countries look this the same this way? I guess I do not understand why. It would benifit everyone to allow retirees to volunteer. It is not taking a job from anyone. People who are " retired" like ... Read More

So you can not do volunteer work without a work permit and you can not get a work permit with a retirement visa. I guess I do not undrstand because all I wanted to do would be donating my time ( without pay or compensation) to help a charitable ... Read More

Thai- Farang relationship--- some advice please by tarzan7
Hi I met or was picked up rather by a Thai bar girl in June. I have since spent about 8 weeks with her in Thailand on and off until now. I have read all the dos and don'ts but am still at my wits end. The girl is in her 30s. I was taken to see ...
Looks like she is pushing too hard. You could run into this type of women anywhere ( here in the States, Europe, etc.). I believe their are good and bad people everywhere. You need to be careful anywhere you are and when meeting new people, always ... Read More
Living under Marshal Law by Proandgo
How is it living under Marshal law? How does it effect your everyday life with curfews, etc. I was told tourism has tanked and this has effected everything. What does the future look like? I guess I am asking, if you were not already there, would ...

Health Care Insurance for Expats by RDMTULSA
My wife and I will be visiting Koh Samui for a few weeks in April specifically to see if we would be comfortable retiring there either the year-round or splitting time between Samui and Chiang Mai. I have good information on costs for most ...
There is a very strong possibility that I misunderstood about health insurance but I thought I read somewhere that you can not get health coverage after you hit 80 years old. I am a number of years from being that old but if I make it to that age , ... Read More

Are there any African Americans living in Thailand? by mmorgan
Hello all, I have been in this country for 6 weeks and my circle of connection have been Nigerians and some Thai through my church affiliation. I am looking to meet any other African Americans and American women of the older and mature crowd for ...
I was wondering why you are disappointed with Thailand? I am looking at thailand and other places and would like to know what everyone is finding out. Is Marshal Law causing problems? I know the culture is different but what have you found ? Is ... Read More
Owning property as a foreigner? by Pompui
The laws are very specific and aside from certain developments or designated areas, foreigners are not allowed to put condos and houses in their names. I believe this would be a true statement. If you own a Thai company however, can you register ...
Sounds like there are a lot of problems but everywhere have problems. Is the economy in that poor of shape? Read More

You make a person rethink going to thailand. All this happened because you went past the date on your visa? How many days over were you? Do you have any history with the authorities before this that would make them target you or do they do this ... Read More
