Hej
Jag vet inte om detta har varit uppe förut, men för mig var det nytt.
Tydligen slår polisen i Thailand till mot utländska barägare och anklagar dessa för att arbeta illegalt i landet om dom ertappas med att tala med gästerna, för enligt dessa ska det vara att anse som illegalt arbete.
Stämmer detta?

4 days ago A well-informed source has told me the people charged with upholding law and order in Pattaya are starting to once again trawl through the bars, mainly the outside beer variety, arresting foreigners for working illegally.
The definition of working has been expanded to the extent that a foreigner can be pinched for simply talking to a customer. Technically, the foreigner could be talking to his brother or a family or personal friend, but it won’t matter.
These foreigners would certainly have been nicked if the plod had seen them, if only for impersonating chrome pole molesters
In one specific case, a bar operator in a soi located off Second Road was targeted. When the avaricious officials said they were going to arrest him for working, he said he didn’t own the bar, his Thai wife did. The paperwork confirmed this. When he then added he hadn’t touched a glass, changed any music, or emptied an ashtray, the peelers claimed he was being clapped in irons simply for talking to another foreigner sitting in the bar. The cost of freedom was 25,000 baht.
