I renewed my Bangkok Bank card a week ago. I was told by the employee that they got more cards linked to UnionPay so it is very likely that yours is also from this Chinese circuit.
No problem, it is absolutely the same as Visa or Mastercard.
Probably they got the most honest, trying to make money by working hard, like a classic rural Chinese.
Chinese criminals do quite other things, and I'm sure the Thai authorities are well aware of that.

China is pumping its army at incredible rhythm. It's already too late for the US to try to stop it's frankenstein, especially because US relocated the manufacturing there.
Burmese people are here to make money through hard work and most of them seems very humble.
Thais are in the wave of easy credit, marketing and compulsive consumerism and live inside Channel 3.

Anyway, I always had the impression that they wanted to take him out because he is an honest one, the Serpico of Thailand.
