Home » Reader call » Reader's call: Dutch nurse is looking for work in the Hua Hin/Cha-am region
Hallo,
I would like to post a call on Thailand blog. I am a Dutch nurse 51 years old, currently living in the Netherlands, unfortunately, who would love to live in the Hua Hin / Cha-am region.
But because I would like to stay active and earn some extra money, I would like to look for someone who can use my nursing / caring help in that region.
Ehh, no sex services please, purely as help for a disabled person, for example, no day job, but reasonable times.
Kind regards,
Marjan
(Full name and email address are known to the editors).
Dear Marian.
Ask the editors if they would like to put you in touch with the Dutch association Hua
hin Cha-am.
They do a lot for sick people in this area.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get the necessary papers, they could also answer that.
Success.
Hello Marian,
In Thailand, as a foreigner, you will not get a work permit so quickly unless you can do something for which there is no Thai. Well, I think there are enough people in nursing. Maybe you can work for an organization on a volunteer basis. You earn almost nothing, but perhaps free accommodation and care. But here in Hua Hin? You will then sooner end up in the poorer areas.
Marian,
I'm afraid getting a work permit is a problem.
Doing anything in Thailand without a work permit is not recommended.
I think it's a gap in the market.
you could also contact the Dutch health insurance companies and ask for their need to have a Dutch nurse work in Thailand. (I think it's cheaper for them than to have those needy Dutch people brought back to the Netherlands)
There is a great shortage of nurses in Thailand. But you need a work permit, also for volunteer work. Please contact the organization below (website only in Thai):
Nurses Association of Thailand

Rajthevi District

Hello all
Thank you for the responses!
A work permit is also not my intention, wrong choice of words in my call, sorry about that. I'm more concerned with providing help, where necessary, being busy.
I will definitely get started with Pim's tip.
Thnx for thinking along.
Greetings from Marian
Marian,
Get information from the aforementioned organizations.
You write – I would like to stay active, and earn some extra money.
However good your intentions may be, providing help where necessary and being busy is quickly regarded as work, especially if there is financial compensation in return.
They find out faster than you think, especially if a Thai gets the impression that you are working on his field, or if he is disadvantaged by this, in other words if he cannot earn anything from it.
An acquaintance of ours has worked as a volunteer in the Bangkok hospital for six months.
Spoke a number of other European languages besides Dutch. The local director assisted her in obtaining the necessary permit(s). Many falangs come to the Bangkok hospital. Good luck.
Apart from the work permit, are you really willing to work there for less than 20.000 baht a month?
For less than this well trained and reliable Thai nurses.
M
Marcus
as already said, in a response from my side, it's not about paid work for me.
And, no, I don't want to take the place of a Thai nurse, because Thai health care is good. Keep it that way, who knows I may have to use it again.
Greetings Marian
The (commercial) Bangkok Hospital Group has several hospitals.
Also 1 in Hua Hin. See website: http://www.bangkokhospital.com For more information.
In my opinion, every branch has an “international desk”, where many foreigners are spoken to in their own mother tongue. And because people in Thailand promote medical tourism quite a bit, this certainly seems like an opportunity to get started. I do hear from some Dutch-speaking employees: work many hours and for a lower salary. But they love that.
Apparently you are more interested in more general assistance.
Please note: also for volunteer work, even unpaid assistance, you must have an official permit as an “alien”. If you don't, you certainly run the risk of being declared an undesirable alien and deported from the country forever. I don't think it's intended. So be careful and check/arrange things properly (Immigration Office), before you start working as a volunteer somewhere.
Good luck.
we would like to get in touch with Marijan. We think we met her either at the beach of Springfield @sea or at the former Baan Chang.
You can get our email address from the editors.
Greetings T&T
Hello Tineke and Ton
How nice of you to respond, I am that Marjan.
Ton, can you now use your singing talent elsewhere now that it is no longer possible at Baan Chang?
Be sure to ask the editors for your email address, so you can see that a call on Thailand blog is really read by many people. Awesome!
greetings from Marjan from cold Netherlands
