Credit card fraud - does that happen often in Thailand or with Thai credit cards?
No, a VISA card from K-Bank. But I would be surprised if that would make much of a difference.

Credit card fraud - does that happen often in Thailand or with Thai credit cards?
A little update: The company name from the fraudulent charges was unique and I found the Canadian company on the internet. Then I sent them an email with some details. The owner of the company replied to my email, and she cancelled that order already and with that also the payment from my credit card. A person with a Canadian address had ordered something with my Thai credit card. The fraudster tried to use two other credit cards before he used my card. It seems that set of some alarm at the banks. So, the good news is that I didn't lose any money and I know where it happened. I don't know who stole my credit card data and I guess I will never find out. Now I have to wait for a new card and change my payment on a couple of services. Annoying, but it could be worse.

Not been a good time for batteries recently.
The good thing about power tool batteries is that they are at least (often, always?) protected against physical damage. I am sure I can throw my Bosch power tool batteries against the walls or floor and the battery cells won't be damaged.

Credit card fraud - does that happen often in Thailand or with Thai credit cards?
I have one Thai credit card since over ten years and another card since maybe 5 years. Until now I never had any problems. Today I received a SMS message from my bank about a suspicious transaction in CAD, Canadian Dollar, about 8000 THB. After I received that SMS I called my bank, disputed that payment and I had to cancel my card. This is not the end of the world, but obviously it is annoying. What is your experience with credit card fraud in Thailand? Did it happen to you? Do you have a suspicion how it happened? I use my card regularly in shops and restaurants in Thailand and online with, what I think, reputable companies. But obviously there can always be that one bad apple.

Toxic Lady
Sure, sometimes they ask me for a drink. And maybe I buy them a drink. And when they show that toxic vibe, then I won't spend any more time with them. I think it is almost impossible to avoid them completely. But, at least at the beginning, it is easy to walk away from them. Just don't get that stupid idea that they have really a good heart, and if you try only hard enough, then you will find that good heart and you will be happy ever after. It won't work!

I wonder if those extreme animal lovers like this or not. After all, the chickens don't have to fight anymore.

Now we can all guess where those 500 billion will end up. No points for the correct answer.

Are full body massages worth the money?
They have skills, and often experience, but not so much with massage. 😉

Free Healthcare for Thais.
It's not free. But in a government hospital it is cheap. She can go to any hospital and get a doctor to look at the problem. And if this requires expensive treatment and/or medication they will let her know. A simple visit at the government hospital is (as far as I remember) maybe a few hundred THB. But often the patient has to wait, sometimes for hours. She can also go to a private hospital which will be more expensive. But again, she can just ask for a diagnosis, without expensive treatment. And if this is something expensive, then she can still go back to her home province and get it sorted out there "for free".

How do you deal with connotations and assumptions you're a sex tourist?
When I started my relationship with my teenage girlfriend I got lots of stares from tourists. When we passed them I was sure they will turn around to look at the beautiful mini skirt back of my girl. So I waited a second, and then I gave her a clap of her back to make everybody happy. Just enjoy the situation. Farang men want a pretty young girl like you have, and old farang women don't like competition.

Digital Wallet Scheme Delayed Over Detail Shortage
Good that they delayed this scam. If it would be designed to help the people and the economy in general, then they would make it transparent and publish all the details. The fact that there is no independent impact study (at least as far as I know), and not official detailed plan, and no transparency, are clear indicators that the Thaksin government is planning another scam to make billions for the already rich and powerful. Stop them!

You are right. Lisa is definitely the better alternative.

Which arrangement will provide you more sex in Thailand?
Have you considered committing a crime and going to prison. You can have sex every day, and for free. Enjoy!

Alina Habba Warns of "Uproar" if Donald Trump is Jailed Following Conviction
Maybe someone should suggest to those supporters of the leader of the law-and-order party, that others, who broke the law, should also not go to jail. Like maybe let all those people cross the border illegally and just let them do it. Robbers, rapists, whatever, no jail please. Somehow, I don't think that is what the rednecks want. Punish all the others, hard, but not our guys. Pathetic!

Which arrangement will provide you more sex in Thailand?
It is a different kind of sex if you marry a woman and have sex with her all the time or if you have short time sex with many different women all the time. It seems you don't understand the difference. So much about "Alpha"...

Pasta with mushroom cream sauce. Just use the basics: pasta, cream, mushrooms, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese. My Thai gf also likes it.

BLACKPINK’s Lisa Announces New Solo Single “Rockstar”
Yes, but to be fair she can sing and rap and dance. Add to that millions for video production and promotion and it can't go wrong.

Thaksin Makes Comeback: Former PM Speaks at Pheu Thai Headquarters
I also thought everybody knew that. But a few years ago, when the criminal was still in the desert, I wrote from time to time comments about him and him pulling the strings. Lots of members in this forum told me to let go, he was someone from the past and the past is over. I had often confused emojis like AN members couldn't understand why I will mention that guy. I didn't see too many of those confused emojis anymore. Now even the Nit and Noi influenced AN members understand that Thaksin is in the center again and that is bad for the country. It's sad that this wasn't obvious for everybody since a long time.

Thaksin Makes Comeback: Former PM Speaks at Pheu Thai Headquarters
Isn't one of his bail rules that he is not allowed to meddle in politics. He is in the front and center of that picture, and it seems he is in front and center of his party. How much more does he have to do before he will go "back to" jail because he doesn't follow his bail conditions? I am not surprised what he wants to be the big leader again. But why do others let him take that role? Arrest him and throw him into jail where he belongs!
