Kettle is often the problem, my stove trips when I have the kettle plugged in to the same point. Try & see...

Keep an eye on the new digital nomad visa that's coming in September... sound like it's the best option for you...

@Graham *****

not sure maybe because of the excessive corruption & crime here 🙈I'm swiss * don't need visa* but live in south africa, * I think also free visa for south africans*

but I have to present myself in person to the Thai embassy that's over 2500kms away. Checked with visa agents etc, no go...must go personally.

I better practice my Thai to make a good impression 😉

Check the Thai embassy website in Korea. As a non citizen ( permanent resident) where I live, I have to present myself to the embassy even though the country of my passport, don't need a visa for Thailand.

There was an article about that in the Taiger.com just the other day. Check the English newspapers in thailand on FB

She would need to check with the local authorities about beach use / public spaces & registering a biz.

I doubt that there's enough interest groups in the farang circles to providea good income, but there are other ways, offer her services at hotels or resorts that have courts, ask at the local schools & sports associations... Google tennis thailand & contact all that have anything to offer re tennis... also speak to gyms & mui thai schools...

Best is to check with UK home affairs department, they know the status that applies to your son.

Speak to the tourist police about that. They were asking to let them know about any ' extortion' or unsavory demands. They will also help with negotiations between the parties.

Just a thought,

My advice is stick to the embassy, their conditions & process. All foreign travel/ visa is dependent on them.

Farang bashing was an interesting terminology. Don't worry about the nasty comments. I think there is much dissatisfaction amongst the Thais, they work their whole lives, live in not so great homes & the farang does nothing, lives in luxury homes, take over the beaches & seem to have endless money... I dont think that I would be amused if that happened in my country, it's enough to make anyone feel .... 🥺
