Cook and Camp (Trying to live in my Van)
Please visit my instagram here - ca1_97
**UA-cam Description:**
Join me on my van life journey as I take on the challenge of living in my unfinished van! 🚐 This week, I parked at the stunning Stanage Edge in the Peak District and spent two nights embracing the great outdoors. 🌄 While figuring out what works and what doesn’t in my van setup, I also tried my hand at cooking a classic Shepherd's Pie right from the van kitchen. 🍲 Along the way, I met some amazing new friends who are also passionate about van life and adventure. Watch as I navigate the highs and lows of this unique lifestyle and share some unforgettable moments in one of the UK’s most beautiful landscapes.

    mmm...Never heard of prison sentences in this tyoe of cases (unless drugs are involved generally)..I've been working here in Thailand for 12 years now (legally, i have a WP). I saw quite a few people getting caught along the way, working illegally, in all kinds of trades (tour guide like you, trainer, teacher etc..etc..). They never got a prison sentence for that but did get thrown out of Thailand (and prohibited from entering the kingdom for quite a few years). . Cheers

    Reputable tour agencies hire Tour group leaders, who represent the non-Thai-based tour company, they aren't supposed to be guides the Thai guides do that. The group leader is an intermediary position, they don't actually act as a guide. This guy didn't understand his job position and was working as a guide, it seems for an illegitimate tour company.

    If you walk up Sukhumvit road in Bangkok there are African gangs openly drug dealing right outside the police posts. I’m guessing they’re working without a work permit. I don’t condone this guy working as a tour guide without a visa but it’s not the worst thing people do in Thailand.

  • @altnotifyaltnotify613
    @altnotifyaltnotify613 Місяць тому

    sounds pretty easy for you and you are entirely at fault here, i did 24 hours crashing my car (avoided a dog), was alright sat with some thai doods eating hotdogs and cake lol... let out the next day like you on bail and they kept my passport. This is entirely your fault for working without a visa unfortunatly pal as in the uk we cant work without work permits, there are next to no companies in thailand who can offer a work visa and its very long drawn out process, pretty much every foreigner here teaching thai in schools is also doing what you did except they did not go out into the busiest part of phuket and flaunt it, you should know you as a uk man cannot work, certinally not in that realm of work (tour guide?), Why did you not clock that before even starting working? its very known fact do not work here without a work visa, that company could never in a million years afford to offer you a work visa. They did not fight your corner at all they simply paid the police to get you out but more so to save themselves from being looked into more, call it a gift to go away. If someone came to the UK and worked illegally theyd also get in trouble. I have been here for 11 years so im not giving you greif mate but just very silly idea, but hey man its all good you have some stories to tell now, i also had to go through the to and through to the police station, you should know you cannot work here and any company saying you can it lieing to you, its on you not the company, i assure you as i haver worked legally for an IT company and it is a bluechip company, even they struggled to get my work visa, you will never ever get a work visa here unless you set a company up yourself which needs atleast 3 thai members of staff and alot of money.. or go to a really legit international school, tourism forget it, most jobs are held for thais and tourism is a no go, this is not spain, but yeah hope yuour good man, your entirely in the wrong though, I know people who got arrested for lifting a glass up to help there wife, the company led you into a lie, but you are wrong by the law entirely and its up to you in futute to check, your extremely lucky you only spend a few hours in, i did 24 hours for far less and i wasnt at fault at all. You can directly ask thai immagration if the company you work for has valid work permits and more so if your ok to work, do this before taking anyone elses work. You really just cant swan in here and think you can work becuase some tour agency said you could, and rightly so. They used you as marketing ploy, end of the day they dont care about you at all, theyll no doubt use several people like you in this situation. There is nothing for you to deal with now, you commited a crime and got off VERY lightly, you are beyond lucky mate, not the agency job to care, your very lucky to now be in prison for years, the travel agency owe you nothing and legally you can do nothing, its YOUR responsbility to check your here on the right visa NOT the company, you are lucky they even bothered to help you in anyway. Anyway glad your out and glad its all over for you. You live and learn mate.

    • @callumlakin
      @callumlakin 2 місяці тому

      hey, this is where no one knows where the line is. a lot of governments now offer digital nomad visa's in my case i was working for a uk Company not Thai and i collected content and looked after the uk people not guiding them. so this helped in my case. digital nomads are still working on tourist visa's as you are a tourist but completing remote work not making money of the locals so huge vlogers like Kara and Nate have spoke about this they wasn't allowed to film in a national park. if your spending more than 3 months in one place i would 100% be getting a visa and any longer than that look at tax complication not being in your host country but the system has not caught up with the digital work life and a lot of governments cant really do anything because nothing is in Place for such workers. If you're unsure at any point hire a visa agency to look after you in the country they helped me so much when i was living in Bali
