  1. However, now someone at the bank can decide whether you're allowed to take your own money or not. So they're doing more than "looking after your money" - they now control your personal life. "Transactions lacking a reasonable explanation must not proceed." - who decides what is "reasonable"?
  2. This is categorically false. She does not remain in custody "as the charge is severe enough to warrant a possible death sentence." - this would imply that innocent people are kept in custody based on the nature of what they're charged with - farcical. She remains in custody because she was already convicted of another murder.
  3. It was a smoothie place (yoghurt close enough I guess) and he was refused service rather than kicked out, but I applaud you for recognising that a city does seem a bit fascist if staff memebers refusing service based on differing political beliefs is applauded by its citizens.
  4. Stealing a cat is a dipsh*t move, however, it has nothing to do with Thailand's visa-free policy. Does this xenophobic moron think that had the lady applied for a visa, she'd suddenly stop being a dipsh*t cat thief???
  5. He also claims Israel is following an "old book" (even though religious freedom exists in Israel) whilst ignoring that Iran LITERALLY runs its country according to an interpretation of the Quran. Making grand claims does not make one an expert.
  6. I don't want anything banned for the day, just pointing out the illogical focus on alcohol
  7. Why aren't tobacco and weed sales also restricted? Surely one vice is as bad as another under Buddhist precepts.
  8. This story has a lot of holes: She was abducted and taken across the border by some people, who then confiscated her phone, but then gave it back to her at a hotel (they didn't think she'd contact someone??). Her father "sought police assistance, prompting coordination with regional authorities" but these authorities seemingly did nothing as the lady then had to escape the hotel by hiring a driver to take them to a bamboo grove, where they then crossed back into Thailand. Also, she apparently escaped AFTER hearing about the previous building being set on fire, which she "heard about". Didn't she say those people didn't have phones - who was she contacting? And to top it all off, they were fined for an illegal crossing!? Would Thai authorities really fine a victim of human trafficking?
  9. Waiting for the offended Tik-Toks from bearded behemoths that are called "Ma'am" back home 🙄
  10. What? He also MAY have lost control by himself cutting in front of another vehicle or driving too fast and hitting a bunp in the road or or or... A body being thrown from the car would lead me to speculate that few if any seatbelts were being worn and that the poor little boy was likely not in a child car seat (since adults that don't believe in safety often just let the kids stand at the back or sit on a lap etc.)
  11. Ineed. Three key points for me where they stumbled 1) Not having a clear plan for moving social security out of government control 2) Hard stance against weed 3) Leader ranting/raving/shouting on stage using "impolite" language - didn't sit well with many who might have like Pita and Thanathorn before.
  12. The fact that thousands of people will vote for a drug smuggler boggles the mind🙄
  13. How much? 50? 60? 100? The "real" exchange rate is what the market says at the end of the day. Now, whether some posters here have a fantasy about a mythical rate much higher than that doesn't change the actual fact that the rate is what it is
  14. That's good, so she can still receive money. I suggest sending her more, maybe 20,000, and then you can add a note with the transfer "Please unblock me" - maybe that will work.
  15. I used to say Kbank only, but when it comes to doing changes related to passport updates/phone number changes etc. out of province recently, I have found KTB to be much easier to work with. Both are great though and I generally use Kbank for daily and KTB for longterm.
