I wish they would show what a skimming device looks like. It might help if the public could recognize a compromised ATM machine.

Oh and I hope these two are used as ladyboys by the other inmates.

here is a collection of them, as you can see they come in various forms.

I found this: http://www.xatrix.org/news/thailand-becoming-top-target-for-atm-hacking-scams-4469/

info about RFID card cloning and other ways of skimming atm cards, there's some advice on using tin foil against RFID thiefs.

These kinds of groups are popping up in thaivisa news all the time. I'd say a group per week, at least!!

I always try to use atm machines inside shopping malls same as andygunther.

A friend of mine had panic attacks and used 2 differents meds. He wasn't even able to go to the supermarket by himself. After 3 months he switched to something that's illegal in Thailand - Cannabis. Dropped from meds and is now on/off cannabis smoker. Last time I heard from him he said he was fine and wasn't even smoking daily. I'm not suggesting it, I'm just saying what helped him.

Not to be offtopic here, but there are good and cheap VPN services that don't oversell their capacities.

Just a heads up when you guys do change to a paid service, try to keep the prices BELOW a good USA VPN provider.

Bitcoin is a good concept. I wouldn't say anonymous money transfers but let's say much more private than banks.

Personally I know a few people who live in Thailand and are unhappy about this

3 provinces is not as bad as it was back in 2011. 7/11, Tescos even FoodLand and Villa didnt have anything in stock.

Second time I came to BKK, I asked a friend (resident) what's up with 3G? He said "It's a decade away, it's the thai way. But don't worry 2G is really good here".

That was in 2008/2009.

I tested DTAC's 3G last month and I can say it's a long way from being useful.

I was on a call with a friend of mine, he said the whole room was shaking. He's near the phuket airport.
