  1. It's obviously easy to fall for a scam, and these people are probably very professional, but "we need you to send us your money so we can investigate it" just sounds so unbelievable. How would they even "investigate" it? The money doesn't exist physically. This must be the third one of these on here in a couple of weeks. Don't Thais read the press or pass around information about scams currently going on?
  2. Talk about going with what you know... 🙄
  3. I think you're majorly overestimating the number of non-corrupt people available to either desire such a thing or put it into action.
  4. Gee, I wonder where they got the idea for that... 🤔
  5. But you probably know better than to publicly call them out on something.
  6. Is this Sparktrader/BigNok/Dolf's latest username?
  7. Quite astonishing to see someone who was once a firm populist, and whose followers tout democracy, to come to this.
  8. The outcome of his intentions was to sexually assault or rape the girl... the fact that it was not committed makes it attempted rape. He followed her to her room, groped her and tried to force her into the room. He only stopped because she screamed. You don't have to be successful in a crime to be charged with attempting it. Also, @thesetat2013, how would coercing a minor into sexual acts be different to rape anyway?
  9. "Remove our competitors and give us free stuff, because we want it." - A very Thai response.
  10. The thing clear is that you don't understand how the law works.
  11. She expected it to be safe because it is most of the time in Thailand.
  12. Unfortunate to hear. There's nothing to suggest that foreigners are more likely to steal things than Thais, it just gets made into a big deal when it does happen. Sad that people are so easily swayed by biased press.
  13. They're also taught that you can always trust Thai people.
  14. But they aren't Buddhists. Not earning money and having no attachments or desires are a central part of being a Buddhist monk. They basically have to live like a monk.
  15. I'm pretty sure he's not meant to have anything. But Thailand has a pretty flexible interpretation of Buddhism.
  16. Doubtful. Why then get pissed up and die? If the new boyfriend was sexually abusing his daughter, he would have decent grounds to get the guy put away.
  17. When they hit puberty. Then they become adolescents.
  18. Not while they're stressed about their ID card photo and apathetic to crime and corruption.
  19. You look dead ahead and use your periphery to judge what colour light is showing. It's very difficult. I believe it called a peripheral vison test, and this is what that means. I wondered about this, as I have done the test but couldn't see anything at first. Then I crouched a little and could make out some lights, but I couldn't see the colours well. The lady let me pass, but I was completely baffled by what the test would be for. It occurred to me afterwards that I could have moved my eyes rather than relying on my peripheral vision, which actually makes a lot more sense. I suspect it's one of these things where they aren't sure what to name it, so name it incorrectly. Since there is no way of them knowing if you moved your eyes and I don't really think people can judge colours accurately using their peripheral vison, I don't think that is the purpose.
