And what happens if the owners just walk away and leave Thailand..I presume there is a farang owner/shareholder somewhere.. and the 51%thai will deny all knowledge.. not a chance in a blue moon unless they stay there..

@Dominic ********

all said .. that may be the case.. but it doesnt apply to everyone ..alot of people just find it difficult to addapt to new challenges.. unfortunatly there are not many challenges left in Thailand that the Thais want us to apply for..

Ive been doing business in Thailand since 1996.. the crash hit and hit the Thais hard..but we did manage to overcome .. hence I finally moved here over 20 years ago..totally legit.. work permit.. tax and social fund payer .. employer of at least 16 full time Thai staff and social fund paid for them.. had a very lucrative time..but things started to decline about years ago ..and no matter what I did ..it just got worse..and the last two years have been disasterous.. and to top it all off this bloody so called pandemic... as one would say the sh@t as hit the fan.. now sadly after many good years (even under Mr Thaksin)it is time to move on..this current muppet running the country is hellbent on totalitariun rule.. and the pathetic covid rules in place say what a fool he is..the tourism sector is totaly gone up the kyber unless he the PM either relaxes the rules or he the PM resigns and gets a proper younger PM to sort this mess out..and rid the Government of the old school dinasours.. Time for a change..

Pack your bags and take your Son back to your native country.. you may have to beg for the airline tickets ..but get out and start a fresh.. its tough I know..im currently in the process .. Thailand is f$%ked unless they relax the stupid rules in place..but im afraid its going down the pan..ive decided to take that route with both my Thai kids ..luckily they both hold UK passports as we as Thai ones.. good luck my friend but you will be better off out of the country that is nolonger the land of smiles..I did 22years and loved it ..but this last 2 years as been hell with all the red tape.. Im moving on..its had its day..

@Rick ******

dont bank on that ..this thai government is paranoid .. remember we the westerners are the dirty spreaders..

Ive just been informed ..by the Thai Embassy I can fly from Manchester with Emirates.. thats a blessing..pity I couldnt use my return ticket with Qatar though.. would have saved me £900 pounds eco class..🥺

Well good luck and have a good flight..hope all goes fine..Im in the process now .. what a nightmare😱😱please keep posted on your arrival and time in quarantine.. look forward to hearing your experiance and views and reviews up on your arrival and stay in the land of smiles..

Hope all goes well 👍👍🍻

Yes ..I did ..it can be done..Kasikorn

@Briton ********

i concur

If you do a visa run ..your not coming back that easy..you will have to quarantine at your cost for 14 days..

@Rick ******

very much doubt it ..most countries have compasionate visa systems I would have though..as far as Thailand ...we are just Farang and alway will be..
