Restaurant Owner Loses Nearly 200,000 Baht to M-Flow Payment Scam
It can do it automatically. The key is to always check the amount being asked for on the OTP you are sent. If you want to pay 30 baht and the OTP says anything else then do not enter the OTP. You are clearly being scammed.

Why would the bank be responsible? The bank sent an OTP at the request of a merchant. When you receive the OTP it states the amount the request is for. If you don't read the OTP properly and authorise a fraudulent amount, that's negligent on your part. The same principle as signing a cheque at work that was prepared with an incorrect amount. You can't blame the bank for honouring it if you signed it.

Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
If a floor at the top had recently been poured then it may have failed with lateral movement caused by the earthquake. That failure would have overloaded the floor below, then sadly it would become a house of cards.

Restaurant Owner Loses Nearly 200,000 Baht to M-Flow Payment Scam
Because the fraudulent website is a copy of a legitimate website and the fraudulent website has its own payment system/webshop. The fraudulent website asked the victim for 30 baht but asked the cardholder’s bank for much more. The cardholder’s bank sent the OTP to confirm the higher scam amount. The victim entered that OTP into the scam website, which then initiated the funds transfer.

I think the common fee/sinking fund in some condos will be rising substantially next year.

Earthquakes are an "Act of God" and as such excluded from all standard policies. You can get it from specialist insurers, but it would be very, very expensive. You would have to pay fortunes for specialist building surveys, etc.

Can foreigners buy hospitality businesses?
All good questions. The reality is that there is too much going on to enforce. In general the DBD and the police focus on the most profitable cases that are worth multiple millions or much more. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/thailand-tightens-foreign-business-laws-to-curb-nominee-practices Foreign hotel chains work on the franchise model, with the local owner (inevitably a Thai citizen) paying a fee for branding, marketing, etc.

VAT ON EXPORT TRANSPORTS
The UK company's VAT treatment is correct. You are receiving a service in the UK (shipping a container from one location in the UK to a different location in the UK). VAT is payable on this service. If you are exporting the container then VAT will stop being charged when the container passes the ship's rail.

Post Paid SIM for Child
You might want to look at a 1 year pre-paid sim card. Most companies sell them for something like 1,900-2,000 baht paid in advance for the year. It depends which sim you choose, but some will offer a set amount of data per month, while others (such as True) offer an unlimited data plan for the year (slightly more expensive). Some also offer free calls within the same network. Unlimited data is attractive - not because he needs unlimited, but because you won't get any surprises and also because there is no chance of him being out of data when he needs to contact you. In terms of making calls most people use Line app to call nowadays anyway, making the actual telephone a bit prehistoric. You can get these sim cards from Lazada or Shoppee.
