that's not what I think, that's what the regulations say. I was visited by regulators for a routine inspection for an investment practice and that's exactly how it went I was not disputing the US regulations, I was responding to your statement that I "could never be an FA anywhere". That's what you were very wrong about.

Stop posting false information as an all-encompassing generality. Taxis from the official rank at the airport are all metered at exactly the same rates as everywhere else in Bangkok...plus the B50 (?) official booking fee. I've been here 27 years and have never had a metered Bangkok taxi with anything other than proper meter rates.

and that's what you keep missing, and you couldn't be a FA anywhere That's what you think! Wrongly, of course.

He didn't claim that his suggestions did have any relevance to those subjects!

Nonsense. First sentence and the second.

the issue is not if it's genuine or not, or if you believe in it or not, the question is about product fit and customer best interests, The issue that I posted about was genuine, professional investment advice from qualified advisors which suggests that KYC requirements are expected to be and are followed. You stated that there are FAs in the states that are facing criminal charges for proper advice that has not produced the returns the investor expected, I don't believe that there are unless you can indicate where to find them.

Or check with your phone service provider....DTAC and TRUE both offer B6 or B7 per minute international mobile rates. Probably AIS do also.

Why does the physical location )or nationality) of someone on the other end of the phone matter if they're providing the service that is being asked for?

Why would you say that when normal delivery times for recorded/signed for Royal Mail to Thailand is about 5 days?

What? Which phone company are you using that charges B40 per minute for mobile calls from Thailand to the UK?

I explain why he posted that, because you did not seem to understand. Unfortunately that is still a fact. Sorry, I can not help you with understanding. That is entirely your work. And, yes I went back and checked. It's you who does not seem to want to understand the glaringly obvious! My second sentence (that I pointed out to you but you ignored) indicates, very clearly, that I did understand what he probably meant to post. This is what I posted... "If the movement was actually replaced by a cheap quartz item that's failing, just get another cheap movement fitted, they cost next to nothing".

since regulations have been more strict in the last 5 years, in particular the US a lot of cases with the SEC, quite entertaining to read ???? So irrelevant to Thailand, and everywhere else. But you're claiming that genuine financial advice, not scam advice, provided by qualified advisors that has not turned out to be profitable for the investor in the US has lead to criminal convictions? Any case in particular that backs up your claim?

If you just think a little bit before quoting, it might help. Of course he means that the watch originally had a mechanical or an automatic/mechanical function but now unfortunately have been fitted with a modern quartz function. So why did he say, specifically, that it was replaced by a "digital Movement"? If you had just thought a bit and read my second sentence before rebuking me, it may have helped you understand my comment.

Must have registered as restaurants as they "close" for alcohol sales at 9pm!

What do you base that on?

Are you kidding? You didn't read the article?

How come? No bars have been allowed to open yet.

And they get the authority to conduct medial tests on selected members of the public from where? Got an anti-hyperventilating answer for that?

No, it doesn't.

Why?

I'm not that desperate to know... just bored at work. Where I'm from is obvious from my avatar! No trickery involved! I don't want to know either! You may think that your place of birth is obvious from the avatar but it sure isn't, just seems to be a bloke in a red shirt to me. I've got a red shirt but I'm not from where you assumed I was from!

May be an idea for everyone to carry a couple of ATK kits to reciprocate the tests on any authoritative bozo that demands they test the public..."you can do me if I can do you"!

Why suggest that it only applies to foreigners?

In Austria that's probably mandated by the government, not by a bunch of nobodies in a home-made trader's association!

I wonder where the Khao San Road Traders Asssociation gets the authority to stop passers-by on a public street, force a medical test on them and then demand that they're taken away in an ambulance for the "wrong" result? I'd suggest nowhere and that they should all be told to duck off!
