You do know it's illegal to work in Thailand without a work permit? Even planning a startup is likely to be classed as working.
This may sound stringent but people have gotten into trouble for more trivial activities such as karaoke.
I hope you've cleared this with immigration or everybody attending could face deportation.
- Radim 15y agoI've lived in Thailand, let me fix that sentence for you: I hope you've cleared this with immigration or everybody attending could face paying a bribe.
- ashconnor 15y agoI've lived in Thailand too. Not everybody takes a bribe.
- sebilasse 15y agoTrue, this is something you should know. Although they primarly bust foreigners that work and do business with Thai people, aka take their jobs away. 99% nothing will happen and you have a good time but pray not to be the 1%.
- ashconnor 15y agoI'd agree with you that being in public in anyway is how most people get caught, however they are advertising the fact that they are working in Thailand on the internet. More importantly though, they are responsible for their attendees and should consult lawyers or immigration as to whether it is legal or not. Having consulted immigration previously myself I firmly believe what they plan to do is illegal.
