In Topic: Crackdown On Gambling Ahead Of Euro 2012: Thai Police Spokesman

Just look at the front pages of most of Thailand's sports newspapers - they have ads for the Thai language website of Ladbrokes.

I delved a little deeper into this subject a few years back for a magazine article I was writing. At that time there were no laws in place to prohibit the advertising of gambling websites in Thailand, and of course the Thai operations of websites such as Ladbrokes are all outside of the country.

In Topic: Chalerm Files Defamation Suit Against Four Newspapers On Drunk Allegation

Just a thought ... I wonder if those (such as this website) who are repeating the allegation are also leaving themselves open to accusations of defamation? This is Thailand and anything is possible, but in other parts of the world that's exactly what might happen in a defemation suit.

There are a couple of companies who charge publishers a per-copy rate to appear in some of Bangkok's coffeeshops. One such company is a sister company of Amarin Publishing, which is why you see a lot of Amarin titles in some places.

Just sharing my personal experiences. I've taken three Thai Airways flights from Singapore-Bangkok-Singapore in the last 25 days and all of them have been 95 per cent full.

Your extension of stay ends, if that is what you have, the day your work is finished so you should have letter to immigration from employer and either leave or obtain extension of stay for 7 days at that time.  Perhaps firm intends to end your employment at the end of the month?  Return of work permit would also be done then if required (not all require return from my understanding).  What you have been paid has nothing to do with the extension of stay or work permit AFAIK.  If there is going to be a delay you might want to get a 15 day border entry or 30 day air entry or tourist visa entry (depending on how long you intend to remain after last day of work).

Thanks Lopburi3. My last day will be 16th of the month and my company requires that I surrender my WP on that day. I have no problems with that, and three days later I will be starting work outside Thailand. I just wanted to be clear that by giving up my WP I am not going to lose any legal rights to any outstanding payments.
