When you do a bank transfer you can see the account holder's name. Did you keep a record of it?

 

All you can do is report it to the police, learn your lesson and move on.

1) Yes 

2) How long it will takes to see some results? Days, weeks, months?

3) How it works? They block the man account, they issue a warrant against him or what they will do?

Ah.  Sorry, my reading comprehension failed.  Had to re-read the original post.

 

You live here now (long term visa?) and have a Thai bank account which you used to transfer 2500 baht to some guy on the Facebooks?  Or maybe deposited cash into some guy's account either at a teller or ATM?

I am here for three months with a SETV. I transferred the amount with transferwise.

I'm guessing you sent cash via Western Union to a dude on Facebook?  Nothing you can do.

No: bank transfer.

That is a great scam.   How did you find the place to book it in the first place?

I'd call them.  

 

Who did you book with, an anonymous chat group/person you'd never heard of?

No phone number or have a phone number but is always down.

With a person I dont know.

If I had address I would get a taxi to where the place is. 

Already done, but cannot find it.

I am quite sure it was a pure scam.

2. Get the bus or train to town.

The guy who was supposed to rent the apartment also agreed to pick me up at airport. Now i am in hotel but cannot spend my time in this place.

Went back to my home country, obtained the right visa and just arrived yesterday in Bangkok.

Booked using a chat application an apartment with a deposit of 2500 baht, but once here noone show up to pick me up as agreed.

What action I can take or what you will do if this happen to you?

I guess also that many of buses coming from the North going to Bangkok (for example) are prone to checks because of the smuggling of drugs (coming from The Golden Triangle) to the Capital.

 

Which route are you thinking of taking @Cuadrado?

The one you mentioned from Chaiyaphum.

Are overnight bus journeys subject to passport control? The bus route does not pass near any borders. Appreciate.
