That's not good enough, if you were to get run over crossing the road you would be in the same situation.

They know about the divorce don't they?

Arrested for playing games, this one's going to be good

Indeed, the Foreign Office should put out a warning stating this.

Sure, but they sell a huge amount of over the counter policies in the UK which are almost worthless - this is the problem. The idiots going on holiday will buy the cheapest policy possible and think they're all good - they don't know any better.

The word he's looking for is conscientious

This is a forum where people make posts and sometimes others reply to them. Would you have replies turned off or just replies you don't like turned off?

I wonder if they issued an arrest warrant? That would seem to be the next logical step if someone makes a police complaint against you that results in a bank being convinced to remove money from your account. I suggest you gather all the proof you have of the transaction completing and keep it handy just in case they come knocking. Might be a good idea to put in a complaint against the woman involved as well, you're going to need a Thai speaker for that of course. I would never deal direct with anyone here for the exact reasons you're experiencing. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Don't believe any article which uses this term. They would have you believe a 'pimp' is a human trafficker.

Assume the worst, I guess you just need the proof at this stage

I drink Nestle for drinking water but when I boil water in a kettle when making coffee, etc I use Singha as it leaves much less residue. I believe the nestle has a much higher mineral content than Singha which causes this residue build up.

You would think so but I guess that depends on how much the airports and government are demanding in payments and commitments from the airlines to use the airports.

Correct, there are many reasons why someone on a visa exemption or tourist visa might require a bank account. The number one being that they arrive on a tourist visa with plan on retiring in the country - which requires deposits that sit there for some random and arbitrary amount of time.

Why should it do anything? It's an Asian problem which they choose to ignore.

You make a good point, this award is about as pointless as awarding the best volcanoes or mountains in the world. They exist naturally despite the people who live near them.

Pfizer has replaced it completely, in the UK too - they stopped using it long ago.

This is an interesting development, I did my TE 1 year extension in November (I think) and there was no photo. I hear the Elite visa is popular with the Chinese, there's been a lot of talk about them abusing visas - I have to wonder if this is why the photo requirement has now appeared and why they're doing it. I wonder if it's to combat passport sharing among overstayers.

I'm tending to not believe a single word the murder gang say, there's a shiny bullet waiting for each of them in China anyway. They will have their day in the sports stadium one day soon.

You're in for a big surprise next time then.

No, I don't sell in Thailand at all and when I buy it's from an exchange.

The what?

No, but it does appear to be a lie. The woman owed money and wanted to borrow more according to another poster who got a Thai translation of the article. So he was murdered for not lending more money, perhaps just a few thousand Baht to someone who doesn't repay their debts. Every word they said was a lie, I have previously found that when someone lands in a 'bit of a pickle', like when they've been caught murdering someone they have a tendency to lie. Clearer for you now?

I have an account with UpBit Thailand in Thailand, works well and I linked it to my bank account for withdrawals / deposits which makes the entire process very quick. You could request come cash from UpBit, confirm the payment, buy some crypto and withdraw it all within a few minutes - they do take a little while to confirm the withdrawal. I almost never sell any crypto, only buy in Thailand.

Me either, the whole thing stinks of lies. I wonder how many other people they kidnapped before this one went wrong?

Because I suspect it's a lie.
