What was the balance that you claim was inappropriately lost? It is a fact that if a bank closes a dormant account with a credit balance after the bank's normal charges, the balance is sent to the Bank of Thailand according to the BOT's regulations but the account holder can always reclaim those funds with correct identification. This was announced by the BOT and can be checked, unlike your claim. Any bank is entitled to close an unused account if the balance falls below that needed to keep it active, i.e. cover normal charges such as card renewal.

As a general rule, the poor go to jail and the rich do not. That is not Thai bashing, it's a fact. You clearly have not been following news reports very closely over the recent few years, several well-off, influential people have been detained in prison here. That is a fact.

The full story about who was jailed and for how long is in today's Bangkok Post for those who are interested.

It is now being reported that two of the staff were jailed.

She doing 20 years as we speak. In prison. There is seldom so much false informtion and unjustified generalised Thai-bashing as is found on Thaivisa.

And close the account and keep the money if you don't use the account for a certain length of time - robbers! Nonsense. Money in dormant accounts will be returned to the account holder on request. That was well publicised not so long ago by the BoT.

The latter.

The daughter got 20 years, two bank staff were jailed also according to the Bangkok Post.

There was.

Two of them are in prison...as is the daughter.

Why not give a Samsung service centre a try?

Brilliant, great work, brianthainess, what makes you think that the recipient wasn't apprehended before this was published?

She had a lot more than that, B207m is just what the daughter stole.

Maybe she didn't want to prosecute, just wanted her money back?

You're not suggesting that the theft is ok because the woman has a lot of money, are you? How could you know what is in the woman's will, she may not have left anything to that daughter.

good point, don't think i've ever had trouble navigating an airport or railway station... That's because they have installed signage, just as the station has also.

They have.

How did the bidding process for these go, can you enlarge on your sneering assertion?

Did it report that there were to be no more after the initial introduction?

This was a civil, not criminal case, there are no sentences due, nor judgements of guilt, just a court order.

I think there was a few bank staff involved as well. It wouldn't matter if there were a hundred staff involved, your suggestion that this was stereotypical Thai behaviour would still be wildly unfair and wrong.

Why do you disparagingly condemn those who may have a different opinion (based on their experiences) to your opinion as being "apologists"? What is that all about?

So much for this one Thai respecting her elder, she is not representative of Thais in general.

"expert on unconscious women in minibuses?", to quote you!

Jesus...
