Kalorymetr Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hey guys! First post ???? I am in the process of joining Thai company. All legal, they will get me a visa and work permit. They sent me my future contract so I can have a look and there is this really weird paragraph. It says that in case of my death(?!) they will pay for remains transport to my country of origin or nearest embassy if impossible. Is this something required by Thai law? I have never heard or seen such thing in Europe. I mean it's great, but it's creepy. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRoadrunner Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Sounds a bit like the Mafia:- You know the penalty for failure. Hint:- I wouldn't screw up on the job if I were you. You could be 'transported' home. Edited January 31, 2020 by DaRoadrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farangwithaplan Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Why wouldn't you just clarify this with your HR department? If you have multiple country branches you surely have a quality HR department. It actually makes me wonder if you are qualified to take an international post if you don't know basic protocol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalorymetr Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have asked them but it is weekend already and I wanted to have second opinion, because you know, maybe it is something normal. Yeah they are multinational, but only in SE Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalorymetr Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Maybe, but is it in the work contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post asiaexpat Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 I have worked under contract in many countries including Thailand and a standard part of the contract provides for repatriation of my remains should I die while in country. Relax and accept that your company understands international business and employment contracts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see the people working at the embassy and the look on their faces when they deliver your remains. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwebb8825 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I had a clause in a teaching contract that stated (paraphrasing) "In the event of serious illness or death I must contact them within 7 days or I will forfeit wages and could be liable for a penalty for early termination of contract...". I just smiled and signed the contract. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
