A woman gets groped on walking street, and reports to police....

This would happen 10x a day there.

Why is this news?

A long time ago I had one of those and I was proud that I got it.

 

And then, sometime later, I got one of these. That was (almost) top of the pecking order.

At that time, one had to earn a lot of money to be able to get one.

 

the only time I will judge a someones wealth is if I see a centurion card, those are really hard to get, and you have a lot of criteria to satisfy,

That being said amex have a charge card which if I'm not wrong, is credit but you have to pay it off by the end of the month

Probably not related to whether its a cultural thing,

however it appears that I am quite a minority group

I have 5 credit cards that I have opened for the opening promotion,

I play the frequent flyer miles game,

I have never paid interest except when I occasionally forget or when I was 18 and was a student with a part time job, that i would use the credit card to get me by to the next month

the funny thing is I dont care about the interest rates as I never pay interest, but the people who carry balances (including my friend) over also dont care about the interest rate????

I'm going to be told I'm wrong, but this is my understanding

In the UK a Credit Card has an available balance you can spend of their money, whereas a debit card uses your money in your account to generate the available balance.

In Thailand both appear to work the same way, the available balance is dependent on how much you have in the associated account (i.e. you can only spend your money).

In my country  that's the same too.

Credit cards have been around for ever and the bank gives you a limit  of "their" money and you have credit/assets/income checks, and you get charged interest

Whilst debit cards are newer, and have the same mastercard/Visa  logo on it but it's tied to your savings account and requires no credit checks and you can only spend what you have, so a 8 year old could have one  so there is zero chance of getting into financially difficulty

have a friend who ive known for a little while, comes from a well off family, educated, spent a fair bit of time abroad, well travelled, Smart, very switched on

we recently got on the topic of credit cards, and I realised there was a lot of references to getting credit cards as soon as she her job is confirmed with a reputable company, and how banks are not giving them out as easy as they used to be, and rich people having them.

she previously had credit cards and used them it was like free money and bought designer bags, cosmetics and got into trouble but she cut them up and continual reference to "it was HER decision to cut them up", and she doesnt have financial education

In my country even 18yr students on flipping burgers part time can get credit cards (with low limits), my first credit card was when i was 18 at uni, with a tiny limit

Is it thai culture to see credit cards as a sign of wealth?

ive explained to her in my country, virtually every one who wants one can get one, having multiple credit cards is not a sign of wealth and often is the opposite

Common in the western world too but she didnt seem to understand that a credit card is not free money

I told her I have more than one credit card, and I continually got asked "why havent you spent all of it?"

I paid more for mine and its only half as realistic as that!

Let's ask a doctor about tourist behaviour/numbers....

Maybe ask them the Lottery numbers while they're at 

What a waste of a life, 32 years or life

You play with fire, you'll get burnt

I send every miss universe a msg..... they all ignore me

I'm going to send them an email and ask if it's advisable to put my seatbelt around my neck with fishing wire

Would the fine be higher or lower if she was "unsexy"?

Man, I need lessons or have whatever they are having If they're lasting for 3 days!

I think the packet of corn flakes in my cupboard also has instructions on what to do in mass shootings.

I'll post it to Thailand RTP

I think they've forgotten to add the footnote

"Dual pricing will apply for everything else for foreigners"

Just goes to show that even in one of the most honest countries in the world it happens as well!

1st time acquitted

2nd time caught

She's obviously not improving her hitman skills

I have video footage of the police officers trying talking to her for 5 hours

There is nothing I hate more in this world than scammers

Even more than politicians

Did they get the country wrong too?????
