PART 1 | Laid off after 13 years. Why?Thai work permit, visa, difficulty in getting hired.

Laid off at 52 after 13 years, with stage 4 lung cancer, and still job hunting in Thailand. In Part 1, I explain why it's so hard for a foreigner over 50 to get hired here, what the CPF savings system means for my treatment, and why a drive to Chonburi for one "maybe" job ended with me stuck in Sriracha. Part 2 is coming next: the day before, a secret beach, cheap coffee and seafood in Chonburi, the meeting itself, and the visa question. 🏨 The hotel I stayed at in Sriracha: https://ssriracha.com/th/home/ Official sources: 🛂 Thai e-Visa, including Non-Immigrant B (work visa): https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ 📄 Thai work permit (Department of Employment): https://eworkpermit.doe.go.th/ 🇸🇬 Singapore CPF Board, contribution rates: https://www.cpf.gov.sg/employer/employer-obligations/how-much-cpf-contributions-to-pay Not sponsored. I paid for everything with my own savings. Visa, tax and CPF rules change often.
