Something else question please.

A good friend has been working for a large food distribution company in Bangkok. She has now left this company and has been offered a similar job for a different company (in the same industry) in Phuket.

Her contract with the original company states that she cannot work for a competitor for 2 years.

My question is: can anyone offer an opinion whether this is likely to be legally enforceable, or just hot air.

In Oz this would be considered an unreasonable restraint of trade and not legally enforceable, but TIT…

Hi all, I would like to ask if I have have just recently registered my company in Thailand with a Thai shareholder with 51% shares and I am holding the remaining 49% shares

Am I able to apply for a work permit in Thailand under my own company?

I am Singaporean btw

Good day all!

I have already read the legislation, however additionally, Id like some public opinion from the informed.

Are schools legally allowed to withhold your work permit?

Even when you are going to be traveling abroad for the holiday and thus will need to present it to immigration when asked (I've been asked before, and luckily had my previous one).

Also, what is the smartest procedures in case they continue to withhold despite your request? Report the incident to the labour department or immigration?

What is work?

If you are visiting Thailand on a business visa or as a tourist pr Retirement visa can you still log on line and work from Thailand (clients and income based outside of Thailand) Can you continue to manage your investment portfolio is is this considered work? To me the definition of work is deriving your income from activities or being in paid employment in Thailand.

Technology and the internet allows you the opportunity to work online whilst traveling. You might run a consultancy business, Provide services online or even an online shop. Many people remain in contact with their office back home, respond to emails or manage their affairs/investments. Is this work?

I was told recently that as long as a Thai has 51% of the business and you the other 49% that they can get you a work permit visa etc.

Seemed far too simple to me. Anybody able to shed light on the matter?
