ORIGINAL POSTER
From a desperate parent . . . Sorry to burden members here, as I'm sure everyone is dealing with their own hardships, but I'm at my wit's end and need some guidance. I'm a single dad here on Phuket, and have been for 6 years. In those six years, I was GM for a relatively successful tourism-based business (we arranged charters, team-buildings and weddings). Sadly, the consequences of the pandemic caused the business to slowly fail and my employment to be terminated 2 months ago. According to Thai labour law, I'm due severance and I attempted to negotiate a settlement rather than dragging matters through courts or arbitration. Long story - short: they are only willing to pay about 25% of what is actually owed and only when the company's assets are eventually sold. The main issue is, my savings have almost run out and I am really struggling to make ends meet. I certainly can't afford a new visa, nor is there any work available here. I can't even afford a flight back to my own country (I've contacted my embassy, with nothing but a 'sorry, you're on your own - good luck' response). I have a wonderful 12-year-old boy and I just need him to be safe and well. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions, please?

Thanks.
