Work VISA for Laos citizen

[justaguy]

Ok, thanks. Just realized when you mentioned border runs, this whole job thing won't work anyway. I already know he'll be unwilling to give up his monthly trips to Laos to visit his freinds and family, and spent time in his village. Then I doubt many bosses will keep someone on who demands a week of vacation every 30 days.

Oh well, up to him, not me. If I was him and actually wanted to work, I'd just setup our charcoal grill on the street beside us, and start selling pork or something, as loads of foot traffic there including lots of school children. He could probably easily pocket say 600 baht/day, times 20 days = 12,000/month. Considering he doesn't have any bills, that's alright for him.

Up to him, just don't complain to me that you're bored and want to work.

Well he COULD just go every three months or so, for a few days. Yes doubt he will remain in a job if he's away for a week each month.

Sorry to highjack the thread a tiny bit:

Which just reminds me of my "second Lao boyfriend" ! Sorry to mention, but about 12 weeks ago we had such a big fight (about nothing of course) that he blocked me on facebook and threatened to post stuff on facebook about us. (or probably just me). Well I got so pissed with him, I just did that, hacked two of his three facebook accounts and posted a few naughty pictures of him.

Now this did NOT work out too well for him, as somehow his 69 year old father, who is a big homofobe, saw some of the pictures. Anyway we did not talk for 10 weeks until last thursday. Turns out (I already knew via some of his friends) that he has been kicked out of his birthplace by his father (his mother appears to be ok with him) and is now staying with friends working just for boarding.

He's now been back in Lao for little over four months, and he has it really though, he lost quite a bit of weight and has been complaining about all things Lao ever since he was back. And of course he sold his phone, just to get some money, I already suspected such a thing, as he was offline on facebook for a week (I have another account he does not know about that is friends with his

He got back in contact with me last thursday and practically begged me to help him. On the one hand, I am angry at betraying me by blocking me (our only viable way of communication) but on the other hand, I do realize that my actions certainly have worsened his situation.

He borrowed money from me, and we agreed he would pay me back next Songkran, but unless he gets a proper, paying job, there is no way in hell he will be able to pay me back in 7 months.

So I am mulling, giving him about 5000 baht, so he can get out of the village and go Savan or Vientiane to get a proper job, or leaving him to rot there, any suggestions ?

What the hell are you babbling about now? It's working out just fine. Actually, he should be back from Laos in about 12 hours. Good, because it's been a long week.

I don't give two shits as to whether or not he works, especially nowadays. I'm quite good at being blind now, so back to working at a productive rate, plus summer is finally over so work is ramping up. Our financial worries are now over (thank fuck).

He knows I'm not rich right now, but will always provide him with at least a decent and comfortable life. If he wants extra money though, then yeah, he has to get a job. I don't give a shit either way.

matty...its NOT all about U....actually I was commenting on justaguy's post about his Bf and the whole facebook thing. Just because u r blind don't expect us to treat u like a moron...remember blind does not mean addled.

Hey JUSTAGUY....I don't know why guys get sooooo involved like this...HOW many can say YES,,it all works out in the end...very few I suspect....Good luck, but think you should just ditch the guy and move on...get him a visa ,,,he needs a job....he needs a LOOM....take him back..and it is all about YOU helping him always.

He does not need a visa, his work permit in Thailand is stil valid for another 8 months. He was just my second boyfriend. Yes you probably right, I ditched him, he ditched me, but somehow he keeps coming back. I do feel guilty, the facebook thing was rather nasty, even though humour from my point of view

He does not want us back together again, and told me he hates me now for what I did, never wants to see me again, but he does want me to help him. Not exactly giving me an incentive. I understand, he was not a barboy, does not have a network of foreign boyfriends to help out, so naturally he finds me again..

so do your good deed for the day and throw some cash at him...or NOT

Yeah, well he needs to get online first, been sending me messages sunday morning, that's the last time he was online.

I wish he was a good looser, I mean I did what he threatened to do and did it rather well, I returned those facebook accounts to him and everything. On the one hand I am partially (but not fully) responsible, on the other hand, why would I give him 5K baht if he says he hates me, might as well give nothing.

And... he knows he will have to pay me back some money, and he knows I will not let him get away with paying nothing.

However IF he does what he has been doing the last four months, there is no chance in hell he can pay me back even a single satang. He needs to get work. But alas, he wants ME to help him find work in Vientiane, it's tyring, his excuse is: me never work Lao, I cannot write/read lao, only Thai.

Well if you never try, you will never succeed. I told him, being poor can be fixed, but it needs effort and determination, neither seems to be overly present. Too bad, he certainly is a very sweet guy.

So you argued "about nothing", he blocked you (which caused you no detriment, only hurt feelings), and you retaliated by hacking his facebook, posting compromising photos/revenge porn of him on it (which would have got you locked up in any decent country).

Thus causing him to lose his home and his relationship with his father?

Then you come on here smirking and boasting about it?

Sorry, you're an utter cunt!

Wait, I'm not sorry - and you're STILL an utter cunt!
