anterian 2,875 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So based on this if an infirm foreigner visits Thailand with his private nurse, on tourist visas, that nurse would be breaking the law. Link to post Share on other sites

Because they could be Chinese and not foreign. Plus the crime is working while being foreign, not working while being Chinese. Link to post Share on other sites

No one can work on a tourist visa or retirement visa. And a work permit is required for most everything, including volunteer work. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure about that, but in this case the people were Chinese, which is a nationality composed of at least 56 ethnic groups, and are therefore foreigners when in Thailand, a completely different nationality.

Somtamnication 23,563 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hey, after the Phuket deaths last year, let's upset the Chinese more by ruining WEDDING photo shoots. What a joke! The problem here is that the couples are ALWAYS walking from far away as there is no parking close to the entrance that NON paying hotel guests have to use. They are seen by the tuk tuks, taxis and everyone else. These guys with the cameras got called on by these people. Link to post Share on other sites
