Interesting. Is this a recent change? I still know quite a few volunteers (in other provinces) that hold work permits.

A friend holds a non-O volunteer visa with a work permit. In order to get a visa extension he needs to get a confirmation letter from the social department. Social department says they can't issue the letter because his work permit shows that he receives a salary therefore he's not a volunteer. When I took it back to the labor office they said that one of the conditions to get a work permit is that you must receive a salary. In other words, if you don't receive a salary they can't issue a work permit. Anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas how it may be solved? I already suggested to the labor office that the compensation be specified as "other benefits" rather than "salary" but they said that's not an option.

I was told today that Thai Post and Kerry both will not guarantee an envelope containing a few documents to go through from Chiang Mai to Hatyai. They say they have a huge backlog and some services are suspended because of Covid. How can I get my documents sent to Hatyai asap and with relative high confidence that they will arrive in a few days?
