The company will develop mathematical models of financial markets, no trading, model building and coding only, all staff will be Thai with at least BSc in Math. "offering investment advice", no thank you, I am highly introverted!

number 3 only

yes thanks, Ive made companies before and thats all ok, company setup that is no problem, i have genuine Thai partners. I would not be a shareholder and I will not be a director, and the company will employ Thais with degrees in mathematics and computer science. My question is rather what is the restrictions of foreign job titles? I would like to refer to myself as "Head of Model Development and Research" and work in such a capacity. So I'm trying to understand if that can be the description on my work permit?

I would like to open a Thai company who's main activity is mathematical modelling. Is such a setup allowed under Thai law? Is this a restricted occupation for foreigners? Thanks all for any insight

The Trendy Building, do they have their?

looking for recommendations of bkk based thai to english document translation offices. Kids Thai birth certificate and wife's Tabien Bahn (blue book) needs translation from Thai to English. Its for the UK gov passports so needs a certified stamped translation, official looking translations. Anyone know of such a company who do this near some MRT or BTS station? Downtown Bangkok? Can they do VIP fast track special service and do it in a day? Thanks guys

seems like the appropriate path to take, will have a load of "massage" ladies outside to lure in the Nana expat high wealth individuals.

I could not see it on that list?

Can a foreigner living in Thailand work as an investment advisor, more specifically in the sole area of giving advise in regards to investment of personal wealth in terms of an individuals portfolio construction of stocks and bonds?

yes i totally understand that most thais in the vast majority of the country do not earn much. Its just where I live so many of my wife's friends would easily make 200k or more each month, but the authorities seem totally uninterested in looking into their earnings and related tax implications. Ive been living here for 22 years and I've never heard of a single case of either anyone filing a tax return or anyone being investigated. I mean counting customers at a market stall is one thing, but a Thai with no registered company and with 20 houses they rent for 30k per month each seems an obvious situation for the tax man to come knocking, but they don't. Just next door to where im sitting right now, there resturant easily takes in 40k per night, but definitely have no company and spend nothing on their business apart from 5 migrant workers on 10k a month each, but the tax man never comes. Its everywhere where i live, i just don't understand it.

where i live because it a high demand tourist area, every Thai would easily earn enough to be required to file a tax return, but no one does. I just find it strange the the authorities don't audit people here, at least where I live.

very interesting, how do you know these 11% number? is there a source? So I guess they just don't enforce filing tax returns? I mean it would be quite simple to audit someone like they would do in the UK or US, but they don't want the confrontation I guess....

Is it true that the consensus feeling is that a majority of Thai nationals do not file tax returns who are required to file them? I feel that like many things here the rules are not enforced, in reality, would you think this is true in regards to thais filing tax returns? very curious about this.

What if it’s not operating. It’s just a foreign company, which wants to lease land, not buy, the same as a foreign person can lease land.

I know a foreign person can lease land for 30 years. Can a foreign company (incorporated in Singapore) lease land for 30 years?

Non-O spoiuse visa, applying for 1 year extension, after they check the paperwork and if everythings in order and so they give the 30 day "under consideration" stamp, do they keep my passport? I want to fly to Bangkok for a few days, so would like to have my passport with me.

Thank you! Some useful explanations and advice.

Yes thank you but what happens if you reverse them and so sending a live wire back to the consumer unit, which was previously a neutral wire?

Trying to understand. A so called “electrician” (who knows what real training he had) came in and changed some of my sockets to Panosonic brand as the old universal ones where totally jammed and wouldn’t allow any plug to be plugs in. I tested them yesterday and my tester plug said the live and neutral had been put the wrong way in. As well as some of the earths not even being connected to the sockets. So I’ve decided to changed the remaining universal sockets to Panosonic branded ones. Why’s it like this? Two browns going into first socket are Live, two blues are neutral. Then one live brown and one blue neutral goes to second socket. My socket tester shows the live and neutral have been incorrectly installed into the second socket, theve been switched. As shown in photo, live brown is going into neutral side of socket and blue neutral is going into live side of socket. But socket still works, if I didn’t have a tester I would not have known apart from when opening it up to look. Coming out of that socket the brown is now neutral and the blue is now live… these just go up to a light above and nowhere else, and that light is not in use. So no harm done. But my question is: What would happen if these two reversed cables went somewhere? Like if the blue was going back to the consumer unit but was now actually a live cable and not a neutral cable?

Voltage levels are because house is last and in a long line on some crappy cable from mains on road and voltage drops a little house by house and ours is the last house…. So I’ve been told? my wife’s going to PEA to get it sorted.

Ok thank you, I will do that, replace the main C63 breaker.

hmm… with incoming terminal still live I thing I’d prefer not to do this. if I get it disconnected outside at PEA meter then do what you suggest, it’s the same right?

I should buy a new C63 breaker? Should I buy RCBO or just sane as currently have?

Not a rental, wife owns it, but we have tenants moving in soon.

doesnt fizz when turn on main breaker. everything springs to life when turn on main breaker. my electrian wired in new sockets yesterday not connecting the earths properly, see photos, which I’m now correcting. Would this cause it?
