Re: Thai boy(s) passport problems.
The Middle East is a part of the world which I have no desire to visit.
For better or worse.
Good luck to the brave boys who go there.

I'm waiting for you to explain your issue with the Middle East. You’ve been bagging them for ages.
Re: Thai boy(s) passport problems.
Just to be geographical correct
We are talking about the Arabian peninsula region and not excatly the Middle East,
Many of the foreign workers are actually working there in the worst conditions close to slavery its a pitty the Thai government do not worn their citizens to be cautious about taking
a job in this countries.
Re: Thai boy(s) passport problems.
Latest...boy went to the Thai Embassy with his copies of documents on Thursday. Spar still have the originals.
They apparently phoned his boss who wouldn’t talk to them. More than I expected them to do though....
He will be going back again early next week.

Lets hope a mere phone call from a foreign embassy won't do your poor guy more harm than good when he has to then return back to his "employer".
Hope everything works out for him.

It is remarkable that they did not involve the police.
In some parts of the region, past practice has been to create a harem full of forcibly detained infidels. I wonder if this mindset remains, or could the police actually be relied upon to assist your colleague with recovery of his passport ? Reading about some of the labour practices for Middle Eastern construction sites, I doubt it.
Secondly, I suggest he needs to stop working at the spa & stand there in reception kicking up a stink until his passport IS returned.
Thirdly, he needs to warn off other Thais from making the same mistake.

I must Correct again we are talking about the the Arabian Peninsula not the middle east !
I doubt that the Thai Embassy will help the poor boy because avoiding diplomatic conflict is more important than helping Thai masseur in trouble .Very sad fact .

I don't think the "middle east" has a formal definition like continents, but as far as I can tell, in most cases, the Arabian Peninsula is within the middle east. As shown in the example below.
The lad concerned should probably search to find out how others have escaped such a predicament. For a start, it appears to be illegal for employers to hold passports.

Therefore stopping work immediately and stating he will go to the police if the passport is not returned is probably the first step.
Seems like Thailand is not the only country whose workers have problems in this lovely part of the world*......
