  1. This made the police very confused but had to respect his decision. There is nothing the police can do if the victim doesn’t want to make it a case.

    It sounds as if the police had their crack unit rearing to go on the case. Too bad Mr. Jerstrom wasn't up for the chase.

  2. Eventually the casino accountants will move Khun Suchart's account receivable to Bad Debt Expense in the ledger. The bad debt can then be written off against income thus lowering the casino's tax liability. K. Suchart may wind up cheating the citizens of the State of Nevada out of tax revenue.

    Oh please. The casino willingly lent their money to someone who failed to repay the debt. From what I understand, the same money ended up back in the hands of the casino as lost gambling bets. If the law allows the casinos to write this off as a loss then it is the tax laws that are cheating the citizens of the State of Nevada out of tax revenue. The Thai guy can only be accused of only cheating the casino.

    The casinos also cheat the taxed folks in other ways. Many of the big "whales" from Asia will deposit money into an offshore account of the casino and their winnings and losings will be only be registered into that account. The entire trip and related expenses will be comped. The whale only need bring enough cash to buy souvenirs for the wife and kids.

    The bad loan becomes a bad debt expense written of against income. But you are correct the money loaned when lost to the casino becomes revenue to the casino. $4mil lost on a bad loan. $4 mil gained in revenue. So it's a wash eh?

  4. Hello totlanh,

    I don't see how a viet site would compete with Thaivisa.com so here's an address:

    It's geared around teaching in Vietnam but there is also general disussion about living and coping in the country.

  5. It depends on where he is selling the gold when the time comes. Coins are more universally trusted. I reread the original post if he is reselling in Thailand then I would buy ingots. They have the smallest transaction fee as you say. Buy from a reputable dealer to insure the seals stamped on the ingots come from a refinery that is readily recognized by people in the business.

  6. If you wish to physically possess the gold then coins are the most easyily accepted by dealers when it comes time to sell them. The canadian Maple Leaf is the most popular of the coins. Buy one ounce coins. The smaller weights incur a greater discount when it comes time to sell.

  7. I quite like the song which opens with a cell phone ring and a women answers, " Helloo? Ai bhoi. E sai nee. Khit hot ja! *laughter* Ja. Ja." I was told it's a karaoke favorite.

    khrai tor ma nor? The moral of that song is never buy a phone for your intended because she'll telephone the guy she really likes, not you!

    That's it. Take heed!
