    Aluminum windows: is it easy to find job in Bangkok?

    I'm planing for the future to go live in Thailand so I'm trying to look at this specific job and related issues.
    Does anyone know and can help by giving me tips and/or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Would instaling windows come under the heading of 'labour' work, or 'construction'? If so then it is forbidden for non-Thai's to do.

    Firstly thanks for quick replay.
    I'm not sure if installing or making windows makes any difference, but really only Thais work in this field??

    There is a list of jobs that are not allowed to be done by none Thai's including labour and construction - the full listing is in this previous post: http://www.thailandqa.com/forum/show...8&postcount=11 I am not saying that what you asking about comes under those headings but I can see how they could be classed as such.

    So generally labour work is forbidden, what if a Thai company employ/sponsor me?
    I've no clear idea so I'm trying to understand the matter.
    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    The jobs in the post I linked to are all forbidden to Foreigners and the Government will not issue a work poermit for them.

    Pretty much any "trade" is forbidden. Labor is so abundant, and cheap, that few foreigners could afford to work in these fields anyway. Typical pay for such work might be in the neighborhood of 200THB, or 7AUD, per long, hot day.

    Now, if you want to invest and start a business, using Thai labor, this could be an option.

    Thanks for useful tip, as I said I'm looking into this matter so to find a way to use my specialised skill for something useful for me and why not, for others too.
    My long term project includes to marry a Thai friend, does this will help me regarding job?
