Hence the high security, I suspect he has plenty of information

Indeed, when I was in school the doomsayers were warning about a mini ice age that's going to come in the next 10 years or so, it will freeze everything, make everyones lives untolerable and last for a hundred years. That's what they taught me as a child. They absolutely lied and as we all know the climate is never unchanging - I am skeptical about what 'they' say because I've been lied to all my life, even my teachers at school were getting in on it. They probably didn't know any better as they were merely simple teachers reading from a script written by the prognosticating professors at the universities.

It's my mothers house at the moment, one day it will be mine, I could easily swap one of those bills into my name if I wanted. I have very legitimate ties to this property and it is my official UK residence.

There's a lot of different jobs at a bank, you clearly don't know what fraud is: No financial gain = no fraud.

Separate banks in each jurisdiction, there are many Lloyds

This scenario often doesn't end 'well'. They're lucky there was enough air down there or they would be pulling up 4 bodies plus any other rescuers who followed who didn't take their own air with them. I read a story of about 5 dead once after a child fell into a well (was in Cambodia I think), all the people who attempted rescue died as well.

I just use my mothers address which has been working well for a very long time and it is my official address in the UK. However that won't last forever (she's getting old) and I do plan on swapping over to an offshore account at some point. When I do this, perhaps next year I will likely transfer my Lloyds account to Jersey.

At what point did you make the big mistake of telling your bank that you had an address outside the UK? How long ago was it? This information will be useful to me and others. For example, I tell my UK bank nothing, especially my address.

Is it time to increase the prices by another 100%....again?

Thailand is on a list maintained by the Chinese government - it's not a good list. There's some very weird stuff happening over the last few months : It's not clear if this is nationwide or just in a handful of places...... "Local police stations are carrying out strict review processes for people leaving China, particularly if they're going to Thailand, Cambodia or other Southeast Asian countries," Read this : https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/travel-restrictions-02202023160935.html

I'm still wondering exactly what this is and what it would be used for? Will the post office be printing the mail on behalf of the customer and physically delivering it? Edit: It appears to be some kind of email system.

Perhaps they should openly court Chinese or Russian alternatives if they really think they need them.

Yes, makes you wonder why they want it doesn't it?

China owns all the pandas and they use them like they use any other resource they control, tourism for example. They will extract as much as possible from the government before they send a new panda.

If the truth about Thailand was universally known then almost nobody would come.

So he won't be ready for transfer until his bill is paid - is that a medical opinion and which doctor made this determination? They won't let him fly without medical permission...... I'll summarise : We ain't letting him go until you pay every baht. He's being held hostage.

This was 2 days ago

How will this be possible with Thailand on 'the list'?

Now this story makes more sense, the Koreans were onto him from their end.

Indeed, one way to avoid any nonsense like this is to not even look at the prices as you shop. Just load up as you walk around and pay the total when you check out. The reciept will no doubt be in Thai so you will never know how much each individual item costs and so long as you don't spend more than you can afford - does it really matter how much individual items cost ? ????

Nothing to do with El Nino then? https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40027509

Aren't they all, as in every single one of them?

Was it tasty?

We've weighed stuff when at home on occasion and found very big differences. Around these parts there's a couple of shops and a durian seller up to no good, they think they're getting away with it but the reality is - everyone knows they do it and that's why they have no customers from the locals.

Arrested for posession/use but suspected to be an international kingpin because of what? Some hunch by a random cop? Sounds like they've got him for a low level charge and want to make him out to be some kind of bigshot. I smell BS
