For value, I do not think you can beat an Isuzu here.

What's your point? As stated in a previous post, I assume the bank will be liable and will compensate the customers.

No, I'm not that bright. Guys like you typically find everything hard work.

Yes, and like most Americans, you likely think Americans invented everything. In any event, the issue is people being cheated out of their deposits in a bank, by a bank employee.

Indeed lol

What are the reported figures and how do the call into question the official figures? Are the reported figures not official and coming from the same place?

Yeah, things went well for him... In any event, he was not representing a bank. WaMu went bust a while back, but all the deposits were covered.

As is going on in Thailand now, yes? You stated; "As regards that, he was on the bank's premises, using the bank's office, it's utilities and facilities, so I stand by that statement – – the bank is liable." Clearly having sex with customers in the bank's bathroom satisfies those criteria, yes? TO be clear, I agree with you that assuming the customers understood that they were buying legitimate bank products from a bank employee authorized to sell those products, the bank will be held liable. I further believe reimbursement is the likely outcome. The only way I see the bank getting out of paying is to prove the customers understood the products were not truly legitimate, but that they (the customers) would profit from them. If it sounds too good to be true... This is small money for the bank, I'm guessing their concern it that it opens up another way for employees to work with "customers" to defraud the bank.

Never, ever.

So without hesitation AFTER an investigation whereby the bank employee was found culpable, and the bank customers found to be entitled to reimbursement, yes? So if he were having sex with customers in the bathroom, an lifted cash from the customer's pocket, the bank is liable. Clear.

Yes, the bank has confirmed, so have the police who are investigating.

Affirmative

If I were installing a fridge with an icemaker I would would install a good RO filter if for no other reason than to get nice, clear ice.

I did say less...

I going to try to be less agreeable.

Negative

Without hesitation? Surely you jest, there would have to be some sort of investigation if for no other reason than to confirm the perp was not working with the cooperation of the victims. I don't think we know with any level of certainty that bank equipment nor official bank documents (other than perhaps letterhead) were used. Do you know differently? If they have passbooks updated on bank equipment, it's a good be the bank will have to pay. Indeed

Has anyone seen a photo of one one the phony pass-books that were issued and updated by the bank?

I was talking about “Wall Street financial analysts in general, not you. Sorry if that was not clear. I did not mean to hurt your feelings. I was on call 24/7 for twenty years, and it seems to me that connectivity did nothing but make it easier year after year. And I bet you would not make it to lunch doing at least five of the jobs I’ve had, but that really does not have anything to do with what we are discussing. Yeah, I did not appreciate you claiming most of the AseanNow forum members were below average intelligence, but you did. Your post was weak, I called it weak, whatever. Yes, the old “dog ate my homework”. I think this excuse may speak to your "strongly external locus of control". Hey, perhaps you can use “posting on a chat-board” as one of the things you find so challenging and stressful in this “new” world. Indeed. I understand completely how much more valuable your time is than mine. Again, I understand. People with your vastly superior intellect are in high demand and every moment you spend here is a moment the world is deprived of your vital contributions. But enough about you and how great you are, I am willing to bow to your greatness. Let’s just get back to what we were discussing before we got sidetracked. I think in the post that got deleted, you had explained: 1. What is difficult about getting a college degree? 2. Why is life more stressful now than it was for previous generations? 3. What are a few of the many material things past generations enjoyed that your generation does not enjoy? 4. What are a few of the many political privilege's I have enjoyed that was not, or is not available to everyone? 5. What policies tend to be favorable to my demographic that do not favor everyone’s? If you could just go back over those when you get a chance it would be great.

You found me out. Yes, I am funding my retirement by promoting dental tourism. I have never used them, so I cannot comment on the quality of their work, but others rave about them. BHDC has a website that includes the prices for most services. I have been using them for about 20 years. My wife and boy use them as well, and I really have nothing but good things to say about them, but I would like to know if there price is competitive as far as the implants go, and it looks like they are. (remember, as a shill I'm being paid millions to say that, so I am a little biased.) Incidentally, the first 18 years I used BHDC it was all covered by insurance, so I was less concerned about the cost, and could go pretty much anywhere I wanted, including the US. Sorry, my mistake.I meant to say that one can get an implant and crown at BIDC (per them) for THB28,000 (US$835) all in or get and implant and crown in the US (per your mother, yes?) for US$1,700 (THB56,990). So right at half-price comparing the two. (they pay to shill for them as well) You should probably holiday in Texas, pretty cheap there. Indeed

I have to say I think it's that they can't seem to come up with anything that doesn't involve a litany of links to other people's thinking. Think about how much easier being a Wall Street investment analyst became when spreadsheets came into being, and then again once everything went online. Yet with all that, even though the funds are managed "experts" with advanced degrees and all the information in the world at their fingertips, still half of them don't out perform index funds. How funny is that? It's still a monkey with a handful of darts, but now there are more monkeys and they're paid a lot more.

Weak

Implant and crown at BIDC is 28,000 all-in, that compares pretty favorably to $56,815 in the US. Virtually all elective surgeries not covered by insurance are cheaper in the US than they are here, and as I understand it, much/most of the cost of an implant is the is the appliance itself, which the dentist has little control over. Correct me if I am wrong, but the cost of an implant seems to be the same regardless of the nationality. When I am at Bangkok Hospital Dental Center, there is the occasional foreigner, but by and large, their bread and butter clients are Thai. Finally, the service I receive for general dentistry at BHDC far exceeds any dental service I have received in the US, where the dentist has six chairs going....

I doubt very much they would give it to you. If you are able to find it I'm sure they would charge extra... (just kidding)
