Finance Foreign Nationals Face Account Bans in Bangkok Bank Crackdown
thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think you got it wrong a bit! The crackdown comes from and they don't want to say it! I don't know in Bangkok, but what I do know at the branch here in Pattaya BB, one of the branches I have a account and it is a very small one but it was packed with Chinese National with Thai agents helping from the moment they opened 10am until they closed 5pm, Mon-Fri. Recently in the news and I was there the day the police raided the bank sitting waiting for my Q. I don't speak Mandarin 100% but as an Chinese American born and raised with many family members still in HK and mainland China, I listen, watch majority very young not retirement age, how some of them dress and handle themselves for me my experience some were Triads. These accounts were being opened basically to laundry money. At this branch it had been going on for some time it was rocket science as to why they were there. -
Report Thai Police Launch Helmet Crackdown to Boost Road Safety
thailand49 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I've got nothing against helmet something is better than nothing but I guess focusing on helmets is easier than BIB learning the rules of the road and it's proper execution. Give it a week then back to normal I wonder the fuss each year around the same time is when WHO provides millions by now over 20 million USD a year to help fit the programs but nothing changes. Maybe they should rethink instead of more improve or less for nothing improves.🤔 -
Report Vietnamese Sex Workers Surge in Bangkok Amid Visa Policy Concerns

These reports! Concern citizen another freelancer local, the numbers outnumber Thai. What ever happen to capitalism competition!🤣 -
I have seen many such accident in my years of living and driving here 20 years. Police reasoning is why the driving in this country the way it is and a major reason it has to be change first and foremost train the police force as to what their current motor vehicle code suppose to be and enforce it. Based on what I see, surprise both are wearing 29 baht rain gear and helmet. As we can see it was raining. The girl although not license therefore in theory shouldn't by even Thai law suppose to be on the road and if not this particular accident wouldn't have happened.🤣 To her credit she did stop and proceed at the horizontal line which is the same as a stop sign, Stop and proceed with caution. The other rider didn't seem to be going beyond the speed limit which on this road I guess would be 40-50, because of rain in the west we are educated slow down and use caution 🤣 but not here. I've seen many of these types of accident! The biker that went down by law had the right away but watching the footage and counting she had plenty of time to slow down and avoid but like many I've seen but condition to demand the right away to the point as if they intentionally want to hit the object as this video shows. Most likely was never trained to look seconds ahead instead raining too was looking down this is the habit of Thai drivers. Regardless, like always the police has no clue never been trained explain things the same way they themselves drive. Regardless of the girl not looking forward enough the other driver had no license therefore should not have been on the road. The police explanation are nonsense and I've been in situation for others that have challenge their explanation as to why particular a farang should pay for the accidents. I've heard reason that are far far laughable at best, like you would feel better if you pay since you have the money and they don't. I once told the police I would feel better if I could just slap you and your job is to enforce the Thai law not make up this is Thailand nonsense. In the end of this particular case with a friend said next time you want us to come down to your station I will bring lawyers with us, case closed never heard from them again but at the same time can't get <deleted> out of an empty <deleted>ter my buddy insurance had to cover the damage for his vehicle. This case is clear for me at least!

This is BB located on Sukhumvit just before Pattaya Klang. It is a small branch located just opposite of Num Chai Appliance. This is one of my branches a small branch being Asian and familiar with the language Mandarin a year now doing business there. The place was packed with Chinese Nationals with Thai agent at 10am. There were Chinese stack outside the door it wasn't rocket science what was going on. I needed a new bank book if you didn't want to wait hours get there at 9:30 am, March I went and try to open another account for a family friend for his Visa extension legally 3 hour wait told. Another branch told me residential certification was no longer used and for my friend needed a note from his doctor? Another branch had no clue what a residential certificate was but can open only a CD account. Things are all screwed up nevertheless there are lots of Chinese living on the Darkside tons! These are special Visa for the Chinese Triads 😂

You are right there should and I believe there is because I have a family member nearby, the project language doesn't allow for these types of dogs. Owners or renter only have these small poodles bit larger than cats. Whoever is running this project should also be charged for allowing it and not addressing the problem. Legally contact the owner he has 24 hours to remove them if not they are taken away by force so is his property put up for sale. My first reaction when I heard said load up they come into your culdasac, one shot to each their heads that includes the owner.

This Nazi better come around real soon I have family a few door down and anything happens to them I'm looking for real pay back. I've already contact the Association the contract doesn't permit such dogs plus how in the world did this guy import them into Thailand. The Nongprue police station is just outside of this project. People waiting for this a-- to come around it isn't happening!

Just headlines nothing more! As soon as he and the 16 start naming names that goes to the top it will get swept under the rug. If it wasn't shown around the world this wouldn't been talked about. This story will end up like the Chinese Triads taking over Thailand as soon as they dig all the skeletons will pop out🤣

thailand49 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Rocket science some of this guys! -
What is your purpose of responding! Yea what you describe happens everyday everywhere around the world. But this story has to do with nightlife5am in Pattaya walking street. Try thinking when you respond first! There are thousands of Thais that work all night maybe you should have included them too!🤣.

Wise transfers
thailand49 replied to Geoff914's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
May is full of Thai holidays but yes regardless Wise been slower than normal. -
These Thai leaders have got to be the biggest crooks in the world sadly their own people don't see it! Asking for billions after billions to a specific group. If this money for tourist was spent on their own starting with schools, hospital, infracsture and such, people would come on their own but instead ask for billions to paint a picture that isn't there.
