The main reason I decided not to return to Phuket many years ago, maybe 14 or 15 years back was the scamming lazy tuk tuk drivers. I see things are still the same. One of these robbing cants got a slap for his thievery, so what?

They will probably sue him for defamation.

Of course, but it's not quite the tragedy it first appears when reading about it.

When sending a wire I need to select a 'reason' for the wire transfer every time, have done for many years now. I always just select 'Personal Transfer' and manually type in a reference of 'Personal' i generally send wires for less amounts than this but sometimes send more than 1 of them, like I will wait for the first one to arrive before sendin the second one a week later or something like that. When initiating the transfer which I'm going to assume went through the SWIFT system was the OP given the choice of selecting the mandatory and required 'reason' field?

He didn't run anyone over so there's no need to make up nonsense scenarios that didn't happen here.

Minor incidend, scratched car, bike parked too close together so they all fall over at the same time. Irrelevant, but he's a foreigner so lets hang 'im 😁

I will purchase a new car one day and there's a good chance it won't be a Mercedes due to the irrational amount of attention they get from the local morons. There's nothing special about a Mercedes at all, they're a very ordinary car - but not here, if I were ever to crash into someone I wouldn't want pictures of myself plastered all over the media just because I happened to be driving a Mercedes instead of say a Toyota camry.

Labour government in charge then, Tony Blair and his mob.

It should be shut down for a year, that would make them learn.

Aren't these thing like rats which attack and tear your place apart if you so much as accidentally leave a window open? Or are these particular 'monkeys' well behaved? From what I've heard this is the kind of animal that gets chased away with a broom when it comes. Then it steals the broom and tries to eat it while one of the accomplices is raiding your fridge and food cupboards.

Can't you get the translation done in Thailand much cheaper? I guess it depends on the language but I'm sure there's a way.

I'm still taking the long holiday option and keeping my days below 180, I'll learn from the rest of you what happens. I'm off to Cambodia soon.

Some people get ill and require hospital treatment. This has always been the way, always will be. Nothing changes really, not in the grand scheme of things.....and for the most part, nobody cares.

Nonsense, it was caused by an arsonist. Always is.

Well everyone else from around the world is at it so who really cares? They reckon they need more people. Also it's not my problem, they have border force who can sort out the miscreants.

No they don't but perhaps they should do so.

Sow it, reap it, simple.

You don't need a 20TB SSD. There's nothing wrong with a few of these :

Yes, of course, if you need 40 TB then you can get it for a reasonable price unless your need isn't really a need. Just setup a RAID6 array with a bunch of 20+ TB drives and you have redundancy as well - that is my preferred config on a proper server and it can be done at home. I did notice the price of these high end enterprise class drives was rising months back. I doubt it's got much to do with AI.

There's your solution - withdraw it and use a local exchange. I'm sure they have Bitcoin exchanges, if you must trade the absolute sh@t they have on Binance then do so and move the Bitcoin from there assuming Binance continue to allow to use it. Remember, a 'ban' in any country will generally just cut off the banking system from sending and perhaps receiving wires from Binance but you can still normally use it. If you can't even use it then there are others.

So where the <deleted>'s my 60 day free entry? Russians, what a joke.

What are we talking here? Unlicensed Thai exchanges or the major foreign exchanges like Bitstamp, Coinbase, Crypto.com and Kraken?

I would just do a SWIFT transfer unless you already have a 'wise' account setup and ready to go.

Sounds like an attempted murder to me (so far, may turn into a murder) - highly unlikely this was some kind of random attack. Who is the German, obviously they know a lot more than has been released.

Yeah, and that guy in the picture definitely has at least 2 legs, perhaps more
