You might recall that the draft version of the new FBA (Foreign Business Act) was not passed by the National Legislative Assembly in August. The legislation was returned to the Ministry of Commerce, to make it even stricter. The meaning of Foreign Company will be expanded so that not only the equity but also the voting rights of the company shall be used in determining whether a company is foreign, but also the overall authority to control the company will also be considered. The flip side being that companies otherwise in violation of the Act, but doing business as Thai companies for

STEP 1 : OBTAINING A NON-IMMIGRANT " O" VISA If you want to retire in Thailand, you need a non-immigrant visa. Ideally, it should be acquired prior to your arrival in Thailand. Siam International Legal Group can assist you in obtaining it in your home country or in nearby country near Thailand. In addition, we can help you convert a tourist visa to non-immigrant visa inside Thailand but it can take up to 1 or 2 months for this conversion process. Requirements for getting a non-immigrant visa outside Thailand: 1. 50 years old of age or older 2. Passport (at least 1 year remaining

What is this the weekly FLB fight? Last week Casper and his crying friend, this week it is you lot! Who is next?

Depends on your probation conditions. Are you allowed to leave the country?

Depending on how long you stay, you might just as well buy them new. The cost difference is very small. Water heaters go brand new at about 2,500 Baht Fridges (Thai ones) 5,000 Baht VCR (Phillips) 2,000 Baht Second hand fridges tend to have gas problems and they need to be refilled. The overall costs justifies buying a new one. They also tend to show rust after about 5 years. IF all else fails just ask your next barfine where to buy the lot. They always know where to find things on the cheap.

Thanks!

Hi, I installed a Chinese P2P television program on my computer and when I installed it, it automatically installed a Google Chinese add on. I removed the Google addon but now I cannot use most of the keyboard. When I press the question mark key I get this _ When I press the plus key I get this ¿ How can I reset the keyboard_ Thanks

Priceless!

Smith Dharmasaroja, now that is a character worth listening too. During the late 90´s he warned the government about the real threat of a tsunami and they scoffed at the idea of an early warning system. Then it happened and it became I told you so. They then made him the head of the Committee of National Disaster Warning Administration. Bangkok is sinking, I have no illussions about it. We saw an advert at the begining of the year for property along the Chao Phraya River. It was dirt cheap. When my wife went to go and look she came back and said that she thinks in 10 years that house would

Don't forget that Asians love paperwork. There is a form for everything.

Look on Thai Visa to get some ideas as to what interests you. I don't know what you like only you would. The other option is to look at sunbeltasia.com. Get an idea of what suits you. Lots of the businesses they list are dodgy in my view for starters.

It makes more sense if we can see what we are getting. http://speedtest.thaivisa.com/ Download Speed: 801 kbps (100.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 397 kbps (49.6 KB/sec transfer rate) That is what I get on the True package of 700 Baht a month,

Visas would be your main concern from what I see.

Garry is correct. You have to speak Thai. I only know of one person who has one and it in my view is not worth the trouble.

Thai's don't know the difference and it only comes into play as Tom says when you apply for a vacancy at a farang organisation. They would know the difference. Thai's tend to look at your resume and check where you have taught. If you have brand name schools or a university on your resume, your doors open wide. They would be willing to negotiate. We use to call it the Mini Mart mentality. When they did not like a teacher for what ever reason, they would send them back and say, "No like, send new farang". In their heads Thailand is the utopia of teaching. You cannot beat that mentalit

So you have taught in Thailand then? They pay the worst. I will give you an example. Regular teacher 30K per month. Director 120k per month Its a base income. Most guys I know in Bangkok have private students at 300 Baht per hour each. One guy I know opened a language school in that way. He rakes in just over 100k per month just from weekends. I don't think you know much about the circuit outside of what one person is telling you. I have a friend who runs a recruitment agency. Over the past year his business went down and he closed up shop. There is a shortage of te

1. Not with political instability; 2. Not with Southern violence coming North; 3. Not with laws barring foreign ownership/control; There is a spirit of nationalism running right now. look at how they view large companies such as Tesco who they now claim are closing off many "mom and pop" stores. Of course they will not say that it is 7-11 killing off the stores because 7-11 is Thai owned.

Nothing stops you from making it "Spicy Boys a Go Go"?

For a GoGo at 2,000 Baht a pop.

If you have a B.Ed degree there are two international schools in and around Rayong which pay well. The starting salaries are 80,000 Baht a month, up to 120K. Those "international" schools in Pattaya pay crap money -- 25,000 Baht a month.

My question too.

The numbers you are tossing around means little without knowing how many people are sucking on the same line. What you get when you buy a package depends on where you live. With the current 1024/ 512 package from True I get download rates of 90-120kb/s. That is in Bangkok. This is downloading one of the video off from this website. This is on the 599 Baht a month package.

I had a friend who use to receive his skin cancer treatment at the "Queens Hospital" (Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital ) in Sriracha . Very cheap and from what I saw a hell of a lot better than BPH. It might not be a fancy but they treat you much better.

I would go with BigD and side with Malaysia.

Is it is boiler room? Flips making sales calls....I don't see that.
