  1. If you can struggle through the horrible format, and questionable translation, the lower part of this page is informative: http://www.thailawonline.com/en/others/labour-law/forbidden-occupations-for-foreigners-jobs.html
    Thank i read it. Pretty much you cant do anything. Waste of time really.
    Thailand wants farangs and there money.. but thats about it.
    Thai people are generally slow or lazy or both. I know i had many thais work for me. Now they say you can get a work permit. And do What """

  2. Can you not just take a bucket or plastic bag and a trowel out to a park or vacant lot and scavenge some soil?  Or look for potting soil online through Lazada.
     
    I'm not an Aloe expert, and if you are a collector and know that you have species that require a certain soil medium, then you are out of my league.  But my limited knowledge of the genera, is that most of the 400 + species are native to arid climates and dry soils with minimal organic matter content. So if you have Aloe vera or another common species, they may not require a rich potting soil.  
     
    Be careful not to over-water what might be a desert plant that needs mimimal watering. Could that be why your plants are not doing so well? 
    Hi and thanks but ive tried that and builder's sand but i feel they require some decent soil and a good rock mix

  3. My gf And daughter are interested in a trip to South Korea. Having visited the country about 25+ times myself for work, and absolutely dislike the place, they can travel without me.
    But we have been hearing a lot of these stories where Thais are being refused entry. Although Thailand and S Korea have a visa waiver agreement, would a Thai's chances of being denied not significantly be reduced with an actual visa obtained beforehand? Can a Thai obtain a tourist visa from the S Korean embassy or consulate in Thailand, or would they just refuse to process it, stating there is no need for a visa?

    That's an idea but don't know really.

  4. Hello there
    In regards to the refusal of entry they said that her story was wrong they just didn't believe she was there for a holiday. In fact they tried to get her to sign some form which indicated she in fact was attempting to enter the country for illegal purposes, something like that I'm not 100% sure.
    In any case she refused to sign. Really I still cannot believe that people in a official capacity can resort to these measures and no questions asked, and nobody cares.
    Ok thanks for the reply.

  5. Hello and thanks for the kind response. Yes she was traveling alone. I prepared all the hotel bookings etc. she flew Thai airways and had cash with her. She said she answered all questions correctly although she said there English was very bad.
    I'd researched this country before hand so I wanted to make sure everything was done 100%. I'm from Aus and I worked in the government for a number of years so I'm aware of the difficulties that one may have. But regardless of the outcome no person should be treated like a illegal immigrant if there paperwork is in order. In addition to this they have the right to not give food, water or a shower unless you pay. She had no food had to pay, they distributed the money between themselves and she got small food. The water she paid and no shower. On her return the next day and in the night when she slept she had nightmares. I know because I was awake.
    Anyway I would not like anyone else to be subjected to this treatment.
    So that's the reason for this
    Post.
    Regards ....

  6. Hello to the readers wasn't quite sure where to post this but I feel the Pattaya has the strongest forum.

    So before I get started please understand it's been a stressful couple of days. Ok now on Wednesday my Thai wife flew to Korea for a 7 day holiday, all relevant documents prepared 100% by myself + the cash Etc. I wanted to be spot on with everything given Koreas history of rejecting Thai people. Well on Thursday morning my wife calls to tell me she'd been detained on arrival. The next call I got was from her to say that she had been questioned by Korean customs who by the way could hardly speak English and she was to be placed on a plane the next day back to Thailand. The reason we'll who really knows. They simply indicated that she was at risk of illegally working. So she was taken to secure room. Not permitted to shower limited toilet stops and if she wanted food had to give money to the guard, who returned with a small amount of food and the change was split up between the other guards. She wasn't permitted an interpreter and was treated like a prisoner. I tried for most of the day calling various government agencies here who just gave me the run around basically saying nothing we can do, and the Korean Embassy simply did not want anything to do with it and hung up on me. I finally spoke with a man from the division of protection ( of Thai people , he said send me an email

    I certainly did and no reply no phone call. Tried to contact him again. My response he busy. Well there you go the Thai governments can't be bothered helping there own people in a Serious crisis. So if anyone's girlfriend or wife is considering a trip to Korea I would suggest they forget it or travel at there own risk. It seems that the Korean

    Customs can do whatever they want no

    questions asks and that's a dangerous thing. Especially if Thai governments are not prepared to support or assist there own people. This is my proven opinion. I'll close this subject now and post. Hope it helps any future travelers.
