That would prove the Phuket News article is wrong because they say that the list has been updated already. So confusing; luckily, my visa extension/wp extension isn't until May next year. Maybe it will have been resolved by then!
I agree with most of what you say, but surely the list of prohibited-for-foreigner occupations is out of date as the original Act has been superseded by two decrees (this year?) but the list is dated 2522. That's assuming that the Phuket News article is legit and true.
Total confusion as usual. And then there's CM Labour Office refusing to issue WPs to volunteers. I have been relying on doing voluntary work for years (not in CM) and I am worried what might happen when I come to extend the WP next year,
