So you are saying its just bad luck? You buy 2 million bahts worth of product in good faith from a wholesaler. The wholesaler reduces their price below your price leaving you with 2 million bahts worth of product that is now impossible to sale and its just bad luck

Does anyone know If a buyer has a legal argument if a product has been brought from a wholesaler with the intention of profiting from the wholesale price, only for the wholesaler to discount their retail price below the wholesale price and thus leaving the buyer with a product that they can no longer sell at a profit?

What are the options to get a golf handicap in Thailand ?

Thank you all for your comments so far, obviously going to a lawyer would be the best option but I thought it might be worth posting here as someone may have said "Oh yeah something similar happened to me, this is what I did...................." but I suppose that was I little optimistic

If you don't have solid evidence, you have no hope in hell to get a dime back, and for that much money, he will just disappear again.

What would be considered "solid evidence" ?

Hi all,

8 years ago a foreigner ran off with $400,000 of my money here in Thailand. 8 years later he has resurfaced in Thailand and I would like to know if I have grounds to get my money back? 

There are two loans in question, one loan was to his company from my company (his company failed) and the second loan was a personal loan. He disappeared but not before signing a contract stating details of the loans (with witnesses). Also signed was a personal acknowledgment that he was responsible for his company failure and under the understanding that the money was to be paid back 

Any advice would be welcome

The concept of peer review is an essential element of the USGA handicapping system. Without peer review the Handicap Index loses it inherent value and is just a number.

Hi Guys, I found what I was looking for from a friend. Its called a Provident Fund and most of the Thai banks do it

Thanks anyway

Thanks for the reply guys, I already do an in house saving scheme and bonus for them but I would like something a little more official and put this money into something for their future

Hi,

I would like to encourage my staff to save some of their salary and I would also like to contribute into a fund for them. Does anyone know how I could go about this? I am thinking along the lines of some kind of bank savings fund but any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

He is a friend as well as customer so that also isn't an option

What could they do if you don't give them any money?

For example, if you run a bar (I know you've already mentioned you don't, this is just an example), if you were fully legal the BiB could still prove to be too much of a headache by coming in and checking the ID and drugs testing all your customers repeatedly to such a degree people stop coming to your bar.

People have already asked what business you are in. This is an important question because people can then ascertain what the Police could do to impact you.

It would also be good to know what rank the Policeman is, is he acting alone or is it a group of them acting on instructions from their station commander.

As already mentioned, in order to provide useful advice, more information is needed... OP: Help us to help you...

Its traffic Police and a group of 7 of them. They have something valuable to a customer of ours and wont give it back unless we give them some red box money

So Lukecan you have RTP friends then? Maybe you can help

Pattaya Policemen are horrible human beings, why would I make friends with any of them. I try my best to have as little contact with them as possible

I think its best not to generalize, its tough living on 10-15k baht a month in a city like Pattaya. If the RTP paid them adequately non of this BS would happen. It's still a good idea to make friends with them, especially the commissioned ones, people are people after all, just ask them what their favorite football team is and the mood will relax.

My staff live on 10-15k a month and are not even a little bit horrible

Telling them to shove it is not an option unfortunately

neither

Yes completely legal, been in business for 10 years here

Pattaya Police are trying to extort money from our business, they know where we are so I'm anxious about reporting it in case we get further problems from them in the future. Are there any real options or do we have to just give in to their extortionate demands?

They went out of business about 3-4 years ago. Not sure if Paul is still around or not though

What do you think of a local Roadside Assistance Business in Pattaya? I know there are lots of nationwide ones but all they can do is jump start and change a tire, this one would be stocked to repair most faults at the roadside or tow to a local garage. The nationwide ones take well over an hour to respond normally too and if just Pattaya and surrounding areas the response time would be better

He is on a commission for extra business he brings in but that hasn't worked either. Just for the record he is half Thai / Half farang and 21 years old
