  1. As previously mentioned, they are running circles around the local talent.
  2. The tragic suicide of a Thai woman in Pattaya resulted in the arrest of a Russian national accused by police of allegedly operating an unlicensed forex trading business. The arrest was carried out on Thursday, April 4th, 2024, by various Thai law enforcement agencies, including the Technology Crime Suppression Division. Led by Pol. Maj. Pitchayakorn Tangrod, police arrested a 40-year-old Russian national, identified only as Mr. Alexey, on charges of “jointly operating a payment service business, which is a service for accepting payments by electronic means on behalf of sellers, service providers, or creditors, without permission from the Minister of Finance.” The arrest was made at a condominium in the Banglamung district, Chonburi province, and was followed by searches of two other properties in the province. Arresting officers confiscated from the suspect 22 company-related documents, 7 laptops, 3 phones, 2 iPads, 14 passbooks, and 8 other items in total. The investigation was launched after a relative of Ms. Nawaporn (surname withheld), who died by suicide, reported to police that before her death, Ms. Nawaporn had been inviting others to invest in forex trading through her. When others believed her, they gave money to Ms. Nawaporn, who then invested it. However, the investment lost more than 20 million baht, leaving Ms. Nawaporn unable to repay the investors. This caused her great stress and she eventually took her own life. The forex trading in question involved transferring money for trading through the bank account of a company allegedly linked with Mr. Alexey. The subsequent investigation found that Mr. Alexey had allegedly set up a company and then entered into a contract with a commercial bank to provide services for receiving payment for goods and services. This was done to facilitate the receipt of payments on behalf of those interested in trading or exchanging foreign currency, the arresting police explained. Many people have fallen victim to the suspect, resulting in huge losses and debts. An investigation of the company’s financial trail found that nearly 100 billion baht had been circulated in the account over a period of three years. Initially, Mr. Alexey denied all charges and refused to make any statements. He was then taken to the Technology Crime Suppression Division Office for further investigation.
  3. I like Smirnoff Ice. Wish they had a lower sugar content version.
  4. I left years ago, it never improves. The people who run the country don't have to live there so they don't care.
  5. Ha, one of the first replies is an insult, you better come and attend.
  6. Since people seem to love to belittle, demean, attack and insult people to no end on this forum. This may solve a lot of it. Popular posters on here are invited to attend the Asean Now annual Bare-Knuckle Brawl at the National Stadium in Bangkok, 13th July 2024. It starts at 1:00pm and after an hour of free alcohol and weed and what else you like, the action will begin. Last man or woman standing will take home a free sugary drink from 7-11. All refreshments will be provided by Bob.
  7. I had planned to stay retired in Bali, they drove me out.
  8. Thanks, its normally OK with kids.
  9. I have a full grown Pit Bull who only bites once in a while. Can I leave it here for a few days?
  10. OH my......No thanks bro
  11. Please forgive me, that's not correct. I must have been enjoying a few beers. All I know is I have 200 baht less this month.
  12. Is this an ad for DUREX Lube. Can I use it in my car?
  13. Anyways it cost me 1400 baht instead of the usual 1200baht a few days ago for my Toyota.
  14. Russians must tread all these crime reports before they move there and say "Dam, this sounds like a pretty good place for me'.
  15. Exactly what I figure. Its even possible the guy who serviced mine pulled some BS while I wasn't looking knowing he would be back. Even using those high pressure cleaners carelessly gets water when you do not want it.
  16. Dam, I have/had almost exactly the same problem, but my compressor won't turn off. Samsung A18 something, quite old 2011. Had it serviced a month ago. And then the problems started. So I started shutting off the Circuit Breaker after it got cool enough then shut it off. All the functions worked on the remote except the temp. I suspected a thermostat??. They want 2000 baht for a new board. I rent, so I thought screw that, as the owner basically said live with it. I have another new one in the bedroom and can use that but with this heat its a major draw. . So that is what the deal was or has been which started two weeks ago. So I took off all the plastic on the front, disconnected the 10 pin connector from the little outside tiny Printed Circuit Board which has the lights on it and shot WD-40 onto it and used an old toothbrush to kind of scrubbed it. Well, so far all good. Too much humidity I guess and dirt shorting out the main Circuit Board. Its not nice when your AC stops when its too hot.
