PM hits back over Chinese businessman’s Thai citizenship

Yes, no way is he going to snitch on a club member. -
After a 6 week wait I have finally received my new bank card from Germany only to be told it wont work on my tan generator, I need a new chip tan qr generator (which my bank doesn't supply outside of Europe). I have a friend in Germany who will buy one from the banks website (very modern, you can only buy online these days) and send it to me by DHL. My question, has anybody here used this generator with a WISE transfer, bank to bank and how does it differ from the old generator method, is a new WISE set up required etc.

Politicians urged to commit to fighting graft

It's pretty disgusting, basically robbing kids. Let us not get too precious about corruption in Thailand though, it is world wide but Thais don't hide it very well. My father worked in Covent Garden ( a huge fruit and vegetable wholesale market in London) as a salesman before he started his own business, he said the biggest cash flow in the market (hundreds of companies) was corruption money. After he started his own business dealing in the market he was personally paying out corruption money, it was impossible to do business otherwise, he was taking with the left hand and paying out with the right hand. When filling out his tax forms he said his accountants biggest worry was hiding the 'black money' my father used to pay out the corruption money. Some of his customers (one was a lord, owner of the Lyons conglomerate) wanted monthly cheques not cash, it all had to be washed for the tax office. This was 50 years ago, I doubt much has changed.
