You have to admit though,,,, a good bust by the RTP
and quick confesion as usual...i wonder how they do it.
in other countries cases like that take years because the suspects
won't admit their guilt/

I'm hoping this will not affect money transfers. Have to transfer money every month for immigration
so this is your worry now? immigration?
if money transfers will stop it means all international
trade will stop, and than you will have to worry about something
completly different from immigration.

I've had a Chinese person put their bare feet on my armrest during a flight back from working in Europe, had one sat behind me belching and farting while swigging grog from what looked like a cider jug on the way to HK and had one forcefully push into me while queuing to go to work at DMK
i also had similar experiences with chinese and hong kong people...
in hong kong i felt like they are deliberately bumping into me...like
waiting until i pass besides them and than bump...man and woman alike...is that
a coincidence or are they do it on purpose?

If you cant do the time, don't do the crime.
Slavery, as that's what it is. It is up there with paedos for me. 10 years is far too lenient. The suffering she has inflicted on so many, should amount to 10 years per victim.
don't get too excited.
she was just another pimp, propably not a violent one, as the supply
of sex workers in poor - and rich! - countries is far exceeding demand.
i am sure that all her "victims" knew very well that they are going to be employed
as sex workers, and were happy to work in a rich country like sweatzerland,
where they can make 5 times more for the same work they did anyway in thailand.
her big mistake was not paying well, or some other business dispute.
in germany prostitution is 100% legal, and prostitutes are
even required to issue tax invoices.
as much as prostitution is disgusting, it is nothing like the "trafficked" movies. in most
cases sex workers know and want to work in that job.

As the economy continues to tank, this and other criminal activities will increase.
THAT is true.
i heard an expert saying that if corona virus will cause
serious shortages in cash, food and other supplies, police and security forces
will start robbing people in the street, even from their food (globaly).

QATAR , and all other arab airlines, offer mlow level
of services and are dangerous to fly with,
and no low price will justify using them.
that is besides the low quality of attitude you get there.
i tried QATAR few times and understood quickly it is not for me.
most of the crew there is working on very low wages and temporary contracts, hence
they don't care much.
i got there few strange remarks, like when i once booked into a flight with them :"are
you working for the airlines"...as if i am a spy for other airline...
other time when i asked an air steward how did she got this job, and she started answering
when a higher rank steward interfered and shouted at me: "GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT".
and even the terminal there looks like a mess...

1 hour ago, jonclark said:the logic behind this
the logic behind this is that the bank earns 180 baht everytime
a foreigner use an ATM, on top on the exchange rate gain.
less cash exchange = more ATM use = more gains for the bank.
other banks will happily follow suit.

20 minutes ago, 3421abc said:The SET has been under performing the neighboring countries for years. Unless there is a change in government the SET will always be the last horse in SEA.
THAT is not true. the SET was one of the best performing markets
in the past decade, especially since 2014.
but truth is that all asian markets follow the U.S. market.
and now the U.S. is falling and will fall hard. someting like 2008 / 1929 crisis,
and not just because of the corona virus.

I have no connections there nor do I know what rights - if any I have. I am considering not going there any more
indeed you do not have any rights in thailand, and not just because you are farang
but because this is how thailand works.
a policeman can arrest you for any stupid reason and when you will be brougth in front
of a judge there is not much you can do, unless of course if you will hire an expensive lawyer
that will cost you more.
i stopped riding bikes in thailand after a similar incident. i stopped in red light
and just pulled the gas a bit to keep the engine working. that jumped a policeman
who stood right besides me. i did not see him. maybe he took it personally.
he told me to hand over my lisence and said i will get it only in the police station.
i asked why? what did i do wrong? and he looked very angry and said he will AREEST
me. so i went to the police station where they fined me 1000 baht, basically for nothing.
this made me wonder if there is a way to dispute all those traffic fines, and the
answer is propably no. the only way is - stop using cars and bikes in thailand.

YOUTUBE is full of videos like that, of stubborn hard arrogant chinese woman
(mostly woman) fighting policeman and security who want to arrest them.
they are been educated to fight man even with violence, and propably most of them
are spoiled single child.
happaned to me once in china, when i went on long ride bus with a marked seat
ticket. i found in my place a middle aged woman who refused to give up.
i called the security and they tried to remove her by force, to no avail.
aventually i was given another seat, the seat of the security man, who gave
up traveling because of that dumb china woman.

Thailand might very well be a superspreader country of the virus, without even knowing it.
The reason why Kuweit and other countries restricted entry from thailand is because
they discovered infected cases among people returning from thailand.
according to latest reports, the virus can survive hot weather and even like it.
Sources in Lombardy, northern Italy, said on Sunday that the Corona virus death toll had risen to 257 from 154 in one day. This is a leap of 103 deaths in the province, which is considered the focus of the virus outbreak in Italy.
Meanwhile, Italy's chief of staff, Salvatore Perina, was reported to be infected with the Corona virus. It was also reported to be in isolation at his home.
Italy is the country with the highest number of infections in Europe, Its second biggest outbreak of disease, according to official data from the boot country, has seen over 6,000 people infected with the Corona virus so far.

Health care policy analyst Chris Meekins said he suspects that official Chinese statistics on coronavirus infections are "really a fraction" of the total number of people who actually contracted the disease; partly because the country has a long history of not giving information about its public health crises.

Who on earth wears and carries "millions" when traveling around?
it is common in asia, especially when going out to pick up . this way they
feel "celebrated" and more attractive .
when i heard the original story i thougth it is an insurance scam, but now that
the taxi confested, i guess it is true, and the police investigated the case so efficiently
because the chinese paid them to do so.

a bigger gang preying on the public and tourists over the last 5 - 6 years
another proof that thailand became more dangerous in the past few years.
a friend of mine who lives in bangkok for years told me that he was robbed near the airport,
by a taxi driver. he took the taxi when he came from a flight, and after
a short drive the taxi stopped, another man got it, and they took all
his luggage at knife point.
i told him: " but this is an old trick, i did not hear such a story in years "...now
i believe him.

how much evidence do the police need to investigate and press charges?
it might indeed possible that the police did not find any evidence for a crime,
and the victims just contacted the newspaper with their story.
reminds me of a banker who told me once how his bank is so good in dedecting
fraudsters, and how they checked once a new client past
transactions in A foreign country account, to find a suspected transaction of
100,000 USD. so they called the payee and she said this guy cheated her.
so i asked the banker why did'nt that woman went to the police and complain
about it?
jsut because some people say they were cheated, it does not mean it is true.

well known saying is "When in a foreign country, always beware of your own" ! Very true.
indeed very true.
the biggest scams and even phisical attacks were exercised on me
by my country fellow man, while abroad.
strangely, when i kept distance from them and dealed with the locals,
i had more gains.
wonder why...

well, he can run, but he can't hide.
or he can hide, but can't hide his money.
unless he has connections with some dirty bankers in eastern europe. it
will be very hard for him to hide such big amounts.
aventually some banker will demand to see the source of
the money, and will freeze his accounts and report to law authorities.
the only place he can get away with such large transactions is
indeed ukraine or russia, where some banks are run by organised crime.
British woman barred from flight to Thailand because she had novelty stamp in her passport
in World News

I ONCE was denied boarding a flight from paris to bangkok because i did
not have a return ticket (from thailand).
so i went to the airline office and asked to change the date for tomorrow (there, once
i was talking politely to an asian female officer, a european middle aged woman approached me and said
in an angry french voice: "stop harassing my collegue !!". i told her "go back to your seat and shut up !!").
anyway, i came back to the airport the next day, and tried my plan.
i knew that the check in officers just look for problems and troubles to give to the passenger,
so my plan was to distract them and ask them about a problem with a stamp in my passport
and if they were sure it will not create a problem in bangkok air port and can they please
ask their supervisor, and it worked ! they forgot completely about the "return ticket" !!
