Would you trust any thaksin crony?

Where is the high speed train station located?

You're talking about 'upwards integration' (for a pizza shop/chain don't keep buy the chesse every month from a supplier, buy the cheese factory). I would be surprised if CP hasn't seriously done the calulations.

Seen same in a couple of reports. My Thai son and his wife have an orchard near Tak, they planted 75 Rosewood trees about 4 years back. All growing well. Son did some research about how close etc., before planting. Ultimate purpose is funds for his 4 kids.

If there is an AGM.

Nonsense.

Why is this news? It should be a standard part of every working day. Minds like little children with no ability to see, develop big picture policies and actions.

But always keeping in mind that coaliton parties will soon depart if they don't get some benefits.

And the answer is NO, NO, NO. He's not just 'the man in Dubai'. He's a person who has been charged with several civil offences involving very large amounts of money, found guilty for good reasons (real evidence) and not in a military court, and sentenced to 12 years in jail.

Thailand / most countries are experiencing more and more Banking scams and banks admit they are finding it difficult to keep ahead of this wave of illegal activity and keep savings etc., safe. It's rampany in Australia (just an example), my OZ bank now had 4 levels of security to be completed by customers at the start of every transaction. At level i it's voice recognition, level 2, pass three security questions, level 3 it's an 8 digit numerical OTP, then at level 4 it's another 8 digit OTP (mixed numbers and letters) must be completed within 10 seconds of completing level 3. Over a certain transaction limit invokes intervention by a live officer. I don't mind if I need to get an OTP for every transaction.

Nice point, however this relies, up to a point, on opinion which will be 'coloured' by the claims of the parties involved.

...useles and make up answers on the spot and demand that owners/residents accept these answers without question. Been there done that, we had a new office manager start work, She instantly put up signs in the 2 lifts: -Owners can come to the office counter to ask questions once a month however must first submit in writing a request for a queue number, date/time to come to ask their questions'. ... and about 10 more items. Came to a head quickly when a sudden water leak was damaging the ceiling in the condo just below. Condo owner suffering damage went quickly to office but is confronted with the new managers 'rule' just above. Owner suffering damage quickly contacted the official 'juristic person' for our condo (Thai lawyer who was a snr. mngr at a famous international management consulting company in Bkk., engages quickly, pleasant guy, perfect English, always takes action promptly). Juristic person calls all committee members and person suffering watr damage and the person suffering damage and asked them to meet him at the office counter 1 hr hence. 90% of committe members turned up, juristic person asks new manager who authorised her to create these new rules? Her response 'Me, I own the building so I make the rules. She also claimed that by Thai law her position (Admin. Mngr.) gave her the authority to claim she owned the building. She also said 'did you get a queue no. and date/time for this meeting with me? Within less than an hour the committee members present voted and she was dismissed on the spot. Maintenance man then quickly despatched to the water leak and 10 minutes later all fixed. Owner above agreed to recify all water damage and all completed within a few days. Committee then had a special meeting to make some real 'rules' about the authorities of the Admin. Mngr. person. Including; 'Admin' Mngr' must get written permission of Juristic Person and one committee member before taking any action / putting up any notice.'

And let get it right, he actually meant 'create by whatever means necesary a change to the voting numbers for trump at a specific polling point by adding 11,780 trump votes. Total conman again and again for 7 decades.

When I called K Bank call centre ysterday I mentioned that I was planning to use the K Biz internet banking (PC/notebook based) facility to do an international funds transfer to the UK in August or September, about 68,000Baht. And I asked if this would need some further security action (further to the online security factors already in place). Response from call center lady was 'NO, not for foreigners, just use the online system as it's currently set up. But over 150,000Baht will need some further online questions, triggered by instering 150,000Baht into the online screen'.

and there's many posts in this thread saying members have contacted their Thai banks who said clearly 'only applies to Thai customers'.

Told the exact same today by K Bank call center.

At the big K Bank branch at Big C Chiang Mai recently, the supervisor was hovering, she noticed my pink ID card an immediately offered (good English) to enter the pink ID number and cancel passport number. I mentioned 'this K bank a/c not opened at this branch'. Her instant reply 'not imortant at all, and K Bank is moving away from a/c's being linked to branches'.

I called K Bank call center today. Currently does not apply at all to foreigners for domestic or international funds transfers, regardless of amount and regardless of location in Thailand. Not yet certain but perhaps 8 to 10 months into the future might be introduced for foreigners. If it happens same 'rules' as Thai customers. Call center lady shared that total numbers and scope etc., of banking scams (Thailand and globally) is enormous and growing. Don't be surprised at some new multi factor 'security' systems being introduced .

Yes, but the situation changes daily. Sad.

And you may well find that the on the spot staff don't have any knowledge of 'can/cannot' order. And they don't ask their supervisor because they are lower ranking therefore to ask a question to the high ranking supervisor would be very rude and unacceptable.

As normal of course 'brake failure'.

Yes, know the real solid truth about how the FBI / whatever agency went soft on Biden the president. Any links to solid reports?

Well said. My Thai son and his wife have regular visits from an old uni colleague. She's as dumb as a brick. Des stupid things, says stupid things. About 2 years back she walked out of Central Fesival with 3 pairs expensive jeans without paying. Confronted she said "But I want to see what they look like on me in the daylight." She called my DIL daughter in law who went quickly to the store. DIL explained her 'uni friend' was basically stupid. Uni friend confirmed this by saying 'Everybody does this, it's normal and the shop says you can do it.' The dumb beauty told the store and the cops 'my uni senior (my DIL) said it's ok so you have to listen to her rule'. DIL then disowned her and walked out. Luckily she's never returned and doesn't call.

If you take the job say for 2 years (?) will it add something quite valuable to your CV? E.g. rare operational skills, leadership skills / behaviors, management skills (organizational / planning / performance monitoring skills)? And more... ?
