Can a Domestic Helper from the Philippines Legally Work in Thailand?

Michael ********

Your employer needs to sort it out. There are agencies you can go though for domestic employees. But i am not sure how that works. There is a facebook group for Phillipinos in Thailand and probably better searching for that as more likely you will find someone who knows what to do.
