What stumps me is why anyone cares so much that they post specifically about the completely inconsequential reactions of AN posters.

Er, no, "we all" have not seen it a million times.

Do you base that on anything rational or empirical?

Where's that "stat" from...somewhere dank and musty, no doubt.

Not sure about you but IN MY WORLD and having been living in Thailand for 35+ years, I have been sex 'mongering' for decades now and have been to all the places where they sell sex and more so i think i know what I'm talking about... You "know so much about it" because you're a monger yet you quote a bizarre 50% "statistic" for which, I guarantee, you cannot provide evidence.

He’s not demonstrating a digital one as per the mysterious Wise card, he’s just illustrating the date format. Purely as an example. I know what he was trying to do but he got it wrong with his "example". He showed the date format on that debit card, it is an alleged credit card that is the subject of this thread.

Let's be honest, that's just in your world.

"What a moronic comment". And, on the subject of "moronic comments"...

Fair enough comment if that was accurate but it is not, the entire economy of Pattaya is not based on prostitution but it says a lot about you that you think that it is.

That's not a credit card which is what is being discussed, as per the OP.

And why would that cause his blood to be all over the sheets? I don't know, I didn't say that his blood was all over the sheets, why are you asking me. By the way the photos that The Mirror produced did not show blood-soaked sheets, if there were any, they'd have been shown.

Yeah, sure! And you just go on with what ever you were doing. "Yeah sure"? Ok then, of what offences have either of them been found guilty? Over to you, then I'll carry on with what I was doing.

how many would visit Samutprakan ? At least the number that were involved in this incident apparently.

Mate, this is a Thai article, no-one cares about other countries...geez Jesus... Perhaps they should when the implication is that it only happens in Thailand and they use it as a not-very-subtle, unjustified, lame Thai bash.

What "credit limit" did Wise give you?!

The thing is, even in your dealings, there has never been a credit card with that date format.

There was one...his. Apparently.

Why? You were trying, but failing miserably, to belittle Wise! "...those with small brains..." Er, QED.

"There has to be some action that initiates the investigation". That action is the one reported on in the OP. "If there isn't a police report or charge its pretty much empty air" There was a police report and he was charged. "The US would need something to initiate their actions..." All they would need to do is to investigate, they have PC.

Many Thais are tourists in Thailand.

A sneaky way of selling it - she was with the teller for a long time whiklst I sat at the back playing with my phone and initially she was convinced it was the 10% annual. In the UK this would be rank miselling but then TIT ! Perhaps your missus just misunderstood what she was being told and there was no mis-selling? Their description of the policy on their website, very clearly, makes no mention of 10% interest annually.

For an individual visa exempt as he will be the (sometimes) required amount is B10,000, B20k if entering on a tourist visa.

Sorry, 10k for an individual, 20k for a family, visa exempt.

It's not happening and, clearly, never would.
