Popular Post yankee99 1,482 Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 His wife owns a restaurant so maybe he has a wp. Wp can be very liberal in there wording. He can be a manager involved in all aspects of the business including advertising and promoting the restaurant. Thats the approach i would take if i were him. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post HM52 11 Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 So,he dated a Thai, learned to cook from her, and he takes the credit? just because my Thai gf taught me how to make really good pad see ew, I would never claim it was my recipe. Like the rooster taking credit for the sunrise, IMO. You are jealous????? Wow. Some of these posts are sad. People saying pad thai is easy blah blah blah.... Very sad bunch.... Yes ! I agree. I think many farangs ( not all ) who lives here in Thailand do not have so good life here that they expected . Many ( not all ) are in ground disappointed and are not in good mentally condition.and it is very easy to read that between the lines when they are writing in this forum. A lot of complains on almost everything as soon they have a chance. It is not easy to live in Thailand.for some farangs. That is for ure. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post kamahele 2,844 Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 A really nice story, getting ruined by some old, bitter Thai Visa members in their responses. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Luxfare 285 Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 A really positive story and yet still the majority of comments are cynical and negative. If you all hate this adoptive country so much why don't you all go back to your nations of birth??- I'm guessing because you'd be just as cynical and defeatist there as well, just paying higher taxes and cost of living doing so. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post deecee10 385 Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 Isn't it interesting how so many posts tell us more about the state of mind of the poster rather than about the topic being dicussed? 3 Link to post Share on other sites
jlwilliamsjr18 1,207 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 My last comment on this topic, first, it's on a major news source ( http://en.khaosod.co.th/detail.php?newsid=1406886945 ) second, its a wonderful story and I for one do not wish him any harm but these days are different.

He can be a manager involved in all aspects of the business including advertising and promoting the restaurant. Thats the approach i would take if i were him. Correct, wife opens sole proprietorship and has two employees, herself and her sister. No problem getting work permit. As married to Thai there is only need for 2 employees. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mataleo 308 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 you cant get work permit for pad thai on street... u need company, etc.. and taxes are high... Do the permanent residents need work permits? Link to post Share on other sites
BudRight 1,385 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 As every other thread is a 'Somchai is coming for you' story is it any wonder people are wondering why Somchai isn't coming for this guy? Link to post Share on other sites
Luxfare 285 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Isn't it interesting how so many posts tell us more about the state of mind of the poster rather than about the topic being dicussed? Totally agree, There are some very unhappy individuals on here. I wonder if they realise making cynical and negative comments on an uplifting story won't improve their mood long term. They should have a sign outside of Suvarnabhumi saying "welcome to the land of smiles.....and cynical Westerners on Thai visa" 2 Link to post Share on other sites
PoorSucker 6,925 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 you cant get work permit for pad thai on street... u need company, etc.. and taxes are high... Do the permanent residents need work permits? No need for company, wife can start sole proprietorship. If married to Thai 2 employees, wife and her sister for work permit. What taxes? If you don't have revenue over 1.2 Mbaht you don't pay VAT or tax. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

wilgoster 62 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Funny the locals are so impressed with his ability to cook possibly the world's easiest dish, No, peanut butter and jelly sandwich should take that crown. Pad Thai easy? then why so many mediocre attempts by other Thai, especially here in the south. Kudos to the chef! Link to post Share on other sites
