most likely the issue

My daughter's mom thought I was crazy when I fought to stop my then 11 year old from running around BKK after school with her basketball team. The so-called coach kept extending the pick up time until they were out on the court at 8 p.m. The other parents didn't seem to care, but I did. This was my fear at the time.

That was the reason I stopped renting apartments in 2006. I only rent where I pay directly to PEA/MEA.

Was directed by the officer to a lady next to the Bang Rak office, that was after waiting for our number for over an hour, who asked for B4,500 to facilitate my divorce because I'd changed my name. I refused to pay, and they asked me to change my name back to match my marriage certificate or go get an updated letter from my embassy (the previous one was outdated) and take it to the consular dept of the foreign ministry for an endorsement, which the tom refused unless I deposited my passport with her. I did the divorce overseas.

Hmm! That was the reason Aliexpress' escrow was born. You should always use a bank transfer for such transactions. I've received a refund from Kasikorn on a similar issue.

I was in Thailand recently, and before my return flight someone sent me $200 through Western Union to shop for some items for them. It was a pain to pick up the money. First I went to a Bangkok Bank branch just near my accommodation where I dealt with a very obnoxious female staff. While filling out the form, she was taking pictures of me with her phone, then I noticed that after making a copy of my passport, she kept it away from where I could reach for it instead of handing it back. Then she asked me to sign the photo copy and she took the passport and was looking at the signature and how I was signing, even though I'd already signed the same signature on the western union form. By this time I was really pissed, but held my peace. After all the drama, she dialed a number and was telling someone she won't be paying out because my middle name was missing from the transaction. So I reached out to where she'd kept my passport and took it, but as I was standing up, she tried to grab my phone which was on her desk. I was lucky I spotted her. I picked up the phone and announced I was going to Central. Big mistake! They called central to alert them before I got there, and the cashier said I needed 2 forms of ID to pick up the money. Very annoyed and frustrated, I left and went to the post office to pick up the money. The reason for the long winded explanation to to let the OP know that it's not easy for someone else to pick up the funds without collusion.

I believe that the quoted 60% is actually on the low side. Lots of people can't make end meet and a lot of people don't want to work because of the low wages many employers are paying. Example: amazon, DHL, Fedex, and UPS (until recently) recruit for 16.xx whereas rent in most cities for a 1 bedroom apartment starts from about $1,xxx. It's the same story with all the other major employers, and it's the reason many people have 2 or 3 jobs and can barely pay their bills at the end of the month.

Thanks to thaksin and the Phue Thai Party.

It's good to know it was Phue Thai behind the numerous complaints against Pita all along.

I've been contacted by the same hacker on multiple occasions asking for money or they'd spill the beans, and on each occasion, I asked them to carry out their threat.

Isn't that the same ITV which used to be owned by a former Prime Minister on self imposed exile? If the brouhaha is about that ITV, then, something is probably wrong with whoever lodged the complaint against Pita because those in Thailand around when the station was taken over could easily remember how it all played out.
