News Forum - Nationwide daily minimum wage to be raised to 400 baht tomorrow
Yes I think there is a lot of that going on around the world. Find a welfare state/country, plead poverty/asylum.... and then sit on your ass and watch all the freebies come in. After a few years then invite your family/relatives to come stay. They aren't silly these free loaders, where by the working class can to bugger all about it... Other than voting out these morons that let all the leeches into the country. OK rant over... I've never been to the UK and from recent reports I doubt that I ever will. Heading back to NZ soon to sort out the missus permanent residency... should Thailand turn to crap in the future it will give her an option. NZ has its problems too. I like the place but it's too expensive to live there. You work to live and not much else. -

Restauraunt as a Business
And it might be advisable to see how much ‘tea money’ the local bill are going to want, when they inevitably come a knocking. It’s usually paid on a monthly basis. -

That is true and of course unfair, but, compare to the UK, where illegals are paid to do no work and housed in up rated accommodation, fed and watered, well, here, at least they can make some kind of living, even though they have entered illegally. But yes, still unfair. -

Restauraunt as a Business
There are thousands of expats that buy into a restaurant business, usually to provide employment for their Thai family, rarely, I would say, as a long term, profitable investment. I know quite a few around my way. The only ones that 'appear' to be making money, are high (ish) end, great location, expat rich environment, such as around Mabprachan Lake in Pattaya, or beach side in Bang Saray. Even then, I doubt they are living on any profits they make, bar maybe a couple. They also seem to change hands remarkably often. I would say that unless you have long experience in that industry, the chance of running a profitable restaurant business in Thailand is low indeed. -

News Forum - Phuket outcry after drunk foreigner drives SUV into Bangla Road
Don't Thais sit the same licence tests as foreigners in Thailand? Therefore they too should be aware of the legal requirements to wear a helmet. As Ram stated, it's a revenue gathering exercise. No more and no less. Why dont they stop locals at the checkpoint? Possibly cause the locals don't have money to pay the fine. Therefore what's in it for the RTP?
