I have just gotten off the phone with a KBank rep - she confirmed that NOTHING will happen to the status of my account (lack of access; mobile banking etc.) if I do not return the form. However, she did say that next time I updated my phone number or passport at a Kbank branch they might ask if I have Thai TIN. I am not a US-Citizen so her answer was based on this.

Well Pharoah got 26 months (although he did have 10kg's more, if that makes a huge difference? His judge didn't believe his "victim" story: "Judge John Potter told Pharoah during sentencing: "People like you, who take part in importing commercial quantities of cannabis like this, must and no doubt would expect on capture to be sent to prison." Maybe Sohail was lucky and got a soft judge.

Clearly not as important as the 80% of the information in the article that seeks to understand why the poor culprit did what they did. Disgusting article to be fair.

I know what "certified" actually means, thanks. However, I also know what "certified" means in practical terms when dealing with banks in Thailand. However, you go ahead and get a notarised copy of your passport and email it to them by all means. 👍

From my experience "certified" in Thai banking means signed by the account holder.

Kasikorn has gone from being very foreign user friendly to being a pain in the ass. Surprisingly KTB (government) allowed me to update information and do some other services without my bank books out of province (just a few verification phone calls to account branch - as they do with Thai citizens), whereas Kbank cited "government regulations" not letting me do the same. Relating to these docs: what happens if we don't reply by 20 December?

Hope she's smart enough to be his ex now.

80 Million THB per km - seems high for this part of the world 🤔

Seemingly introspective enough to know that they have no self-control... ...yet proving that they are morons. Apple 'n tree etc.

I have a migraine from reading this: It's clearly a Thai article (likely AI generated with inputs - nothing wrong with AI BTW) then translated into English with AI = the most unnatural and clunky prose ever seen.

I know people that have already received the money. I don't know how they will justify not giving out the rest. I don't support the policy to be clear, but now that they have started, it would be a total shirtstorm if they don't finish it.

Care to explain? I didn't do any exact calculations, sure, however even at the lower end: 1.5 mil RMB x 6 = 9 mil RMB (which is over 40 million THB - or as I originally stated "way more than 8 million Baht"). And quoted in the article the top end was 8 mil RMB which is over 1 mil USD (1.13 mil if you want to be precise).

1.5 - 8 million RMB each (6 victims) is way more than 8 million Baht. Also, who would pay up to 8 million RMB (over 1 mil USD) to secure a cabin crew job? Nothing adds up in this story.

There seems to be a lead car (pick-up?) with its rear open. This potentially indicates it's a film shoot of some kind which would also explain the escort. Of course, they could've informed the public in advance. However, I'd much prefer a shoot slowing down traffic as opposed to shoots where they just close the entire road. With few alternate routes available, that would really be an inconvenience.
