Is it legal for me to work on my Thai partner's farm during harvest season without a work permit?
Michael ********
No you cannot we actually had this checked out with my wifes friend and her lawyer companions at her wedding.

We have small holding (4 rai) but as its not a commercial its fine for me to work on. But in your circumstance no its illegal as your wife presumanly sell the produce.

What should my friend do about her rental situation in Thailand as she needs to return to England urgently?
Michael ********
Pack up and leave. Send letter you want to leave because of noise disruptions etc. Include as much correspondence as possible and send it registered. Or see a lawyer it doesnt take long to see what sort of letter need to send so you are covered. Maybe he verifies what was sent
