'Unfortunate' ? I'd rather say 'arrogance', 'rude', 'violence', 'have something to hide'.

I would say 'Too many foreigners/tourists in Phuket and everywhere else'.

Prove that money can't buy everything. ????

A friend of mine set up a company a few years back but never has any transactions, neither income nor expenses, from the start. However, as the rule, the company has to file accounting reports every year. In the past 2 years, we decided not to pay any more accounting fee, which is 10K every year for doing nothing. We just have received a letter from government agency to pay fine for not submitting financial statements. The company director resides overseas, doesn't come to Thailand for almost 2 years now and has every intention to close his company registration. Is there any way to de-register a company name without having to pay for accounting fees and fine? Will appreciate any advice.

I agree with the written job descriptions, explain all details at every step and what to do when encounter problems so they know what are required of them to perform their tasks. This probably filters out unqualified people in the first place. As you mentioned it, wait staff have a lot more duties than just serving food. So when they apply for the job they would know what they have to do. This is also Australian's public service practice as well, at least in NSW. Every position has job description outlines what employees are expected to do, and for some duties have manual specify what and how to do things. Maybe you should consider having (a) consultant/s to manage workforce especially your business that has been in existence in Thailand for nearly 5 years and have high staff turnover rate.
