Will be in on the scam before you know it.

These places on the beach in Pattaya are like the jet ski scammers, but it is easier to see a damage on a motorcycle before hand anyway. But, if you crash then expect to pay a huge premium + damage since they dont have insurance on the bikes.

Rent bikes off other Farangs.

I have no personal experience, but this guy is always consistently well thought of for bike hiring in Pattaya.

Has anybody got any recommendations for desk chairs in Phuket?(or that I can order online). Price doesn't matter too much.

I heard about the if you stay in another country for a long amount of time, then you don't have to pay taxes. This is appealing to me because i live in the us and have to pay taxes. I read it was 330 days out of 365 days.

Is it possible for me to do this for next year in thailand? I heard its tax free up to $90000 or a very similar amount. I was deciding between canada which is most closer to me or thailand but the thought of not having to pay any taxes legally sounds very appealing to me. And if i go to canada, its only for 6 months max and then i have to go somewhere else and of course still have to pay taxes.

Is it something like you go to Thailand for 3 months, leave the country for 2 days and then come back to Thailand etc for another 3 months and if you do this 3 times a year, then you stayed there for longer than 330 days?

And say the next year 2013, i come back to the US, then all that money i made up to 90k which i won't make anywhere close to wouldn't get taxed at all?

man... why do we have two threads if everyone who asks a question is just going to cross post?

It tilts me big time, been pretty busy though so haven't been cracking down. I'm more likely to get to it if you press the "report post" btn.

it's usually a question easily answered by google too heh.

I've seen some **** but that lady is hardcore

that be f*cked up if he started poppin wheelies with her on the back...

The thai kids are pretty wild on the mopeds

Are there any decent paying jobs over there, or are all you of you pretty much poker grinders and/or vacationing and living off of savings?

I need a serious change of scenery.

Very difficult for you to work with the visa situation there, the short answer is no.

why? if some legit company is hiring there shouldnt be any problems getting a work permit.

finding a job that pays enough by western standards is another story though

He did say decent paying job hence my reply.........

You can't get a work permit for jobs that don't pay "decently", with the exception of English teaching. The minimum salary to satisfy the visa requirement is 60k baht/month for Americans/Canadians, 50k/month for Euros/Australians.

There are plenty of opportunities to work in Thailand, but entry-level jobs are not an option since they can easily be done by Thais. If you have a degree and extensive experience in an area then you will be able to find a job and a work visa, if you don't then you won't.

All the people I know that have decent jobs there have very specific skills that are in demand, the guy questioning seemed to be making just a random enquiry so I don't really fancy his chances of finding anything decent. Teaching tends to be the best option for most of these types.

ok, thought you meant visa/work permit is difficult to get which is not true imo.

but yea, like the guy selling his restaurant said just today/yesterday it is not worth coming to work here like that

They are just normal people with normal business careers. There are plenty of jobs like that available for foreigners in Thailand. They are easily attainable for people who started working around age 22 and have 10+ years experience in their field. I.E. Not people like us.

Speak for yourself mate, I am one of those people with a professional business career.

Cba arguing with you though, as I know you know everything about everything
