ttkeric Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Okay, in the news over in Malaysia, the headline pretty much says "Investment scam". On a Thai website (that I believe can't be linked here ????) it says "Bitcoin event". Maybe the thread title should be edited to make that clear. Google is your friend. So, it sounds like the bust was more about running an investment scam than not having the proper licenses. Then again, people have been sent away from this country for "not having enough funds" even if they do. Whatever works, I guess. I do events for a living plus, added bonus, I'm Malaysian. Heh. But my events are more the partying type anyway. I found licensing here slightly more lax than Malaysia (back home, I'll need to look into music licensing, permit for crowd gathering, food safety etc etc) but generally, the venue/hotel will always take an active role in helping you procure the necessary even if, let's say, you're totally in the blind about them. Here, I've mostly been told "don't worry", so I always did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly safe bet, Chiang Mai will be the worst place to try and do anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not talk to them and sell the permit to them, instead we will send them to jail and courts where they will be guilty until proven innocent. Then they will pay big money for not understanding our very difficult to understand system of payola. Why werent these foreign criminals identified by the new biometric system before they arrived. Vietnam would welcome them in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Do foreigners also Need work permits to make presentations in-front of their class in university? ^ this law so retard. If a seminar requires a work permit then every single forgeiner student should be arrested honestly. I don’t see how a seminar is work.

This isn't a school....it's a "for profit" seminar in which the host purports to be selling "knowledge" to the participants who pay a fee in exchange for the privilege of attending the seminar. It's a sales job, otherwise known as "work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 really is a bad article title full of misplaced modifiers. Was holding the seminar illegal, or was the seminar about illegal work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffas21 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I went to a seminar recently it was all just an excuse to sell books, the material in the seminar was ok, but I can't believe it was really essential for foreigners to go there as we were all told on pain of losing our work permits next year.

AlanSheyla Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 How much cash did you just force out of your country this time? lol. Get with the times. People like to travel for seminars. or work from their laptops. You could cash in on that market alone but NOOOOOO THEY ARE CRIMINALS lol meanwhile individuals are being extorted so they dont get arrested by those supposed to enforce the "LAW?" OMG DONT COME TO OUR BEAUTIFUL LAND OF SMILES FOR A SEMINAR AND SPEND YOUR MONEY.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
