Respect! Which language do they speak with you? [if I may ask]

What agent can (could) do to open an account for the third person not being there during so-called "opening procedure"? The branch that allows something like this is in very-very deep pool of <deleted>! Any inspection will follow mass closures of such accounts w/o BS and niceties. "No Tourists" regulations was enforced in April'23. If an agent can open an account w/o presence at the Bank why won't he open 10 accounts using "patient's" credentials and sell them to some scammers?

Pretty neat show, that spokesperson truly lost his face. Big time

Jokes aside, but I met a dude at his middle 20s, he met his very pretty GF online, flew to BKK and they are living happy for 3-4 years (my guess). Nice bloke, unfortunately he dropped everything in AU and works as teecha Jay, but yes. Magic is happening sometimes.

Obvious. KY+Durex. What else? Oh, yeah, almost forgot: Dettol soap

P2P is not an "exchange transaction". Like I buy something from the poster at AN doesn't make it as "I bought at AN" You'd transferred money to some bank account that might me on the "watch list". Good for you! Now you're on that list. And that is not "private list" - it is being shared within Thai banks security systems. The only right thing to do is to close that account asap. Lawyer? Are you going to sue the Thai bank? FYI: You might financed some terrorist group or launder some bloody money. You'll never know.

Cute. If she is smart enough she should sue the <deleted> out of them. I used to know a guy helping against this primitive extortionists in BKK.

Nice! I also heard stories like this "he paid 1M and got it", even mentioning governor of one of the provinces. But as one Uzbek mogul said - "I'll give you 1.5M just get it to me!" and that was end of the story. We all know the guy who knows the guy ...

Over last 3 decades I haven't met any successful case of PR for working more than 3 years. Probably due to the types of Co.Ltd. But at least 5 guys tried hard to get it and they all failed. 2 guys paid <deleted> load of money to "agents". Failed sama-same. However one old chap from UK got it (I think he didn't even sweat) with endorsement from KMUTT. Ph.D

Paid w/debit card issued by BKK Bank. no hassle, smooth as silk. $15 no OTP

please, in color and black/white - some are color blind ) Yep. Reuters had life feed from Crimea. non-stop from the Day 1 until referendum. "Polite Green Men". Zero resistance. #ROFL

6.2" tall, nice manners, about early 50s. Nice polite thai language. I have no idea what was wrong with him. He gravitates misfortune.

Arrogance vanished after third year in TH. I found myself deaf and dumb ding-dong who made not a slightest effort to communicate with locals. Seriously Thai is not that difficult to learn, just need good/experienced teacher and home work. Few language schools in BKK are taking learning thai very seriously. Well, I don't have much practice with written thai, but I do my best to communicate with locals in thai.

Next step - they return money to exchange shop, collect counterfeit dollars and kick Uzbeki dude away from TH. 3.000+2000=5.000. Nice, Borat!

If you've been rejected from more than a dozen branches than it is a conspiracy against you or something about you. What is your citizenship? I used to know one bloke who couldn't buy simple pain killer at any drug store. Maximum they gave him paracet. Very nice and well educated man, but there was something that repelled thais

Yep. Just some puny work as import-export managers at agro industry, construction, food and some precious stones and jewelry. Not many, right? Our village neighbor's son doing some useless activity with fertilizers from RU, young man get paid about 5K/month + social + bonuses. Tourism is for bored housewives or hobby for retired extraverts.

every day of "military actions" at UA bring not only corpses but hefty rewards to those who vouch against peace talks.

Strange places some are living: great white conquerors, some pure racist attitude and visionaries from remote villages of North-Eastern Thailand. If some use the term "farang" for his/her convenience than let them have it. Why bother? Suddenly some young bloke from RU teaches linguistics at Phuket? Good for him, he got his 3 minutes of fame. OMG! 12 pages of bashing? Amazing

That is nasty indeed. I met a guy who took them for too long. He barely walked due to side effects.

Yes, quite popular and helpful over long period. Don't expect immediate results but for a long haul - yes, it does help

There are so many things to do at Phuket, why "guiding"? Too dumb too greedy? Well then "welcome to natural selection" kids.

depends on nationality, seriously.

Ha! Thailand is the second country in Asia of girls working on webcam sites as Onlyfans etc. Thailand has a very strict laws on making obscene videos (a.k.a. porn) and engaging into such activity. But ... hundreds of newcomers are joining DA BIZ weekly and almost nothing happens. Why? It is very tiresome work to investigate, prove and submit it to the court. It Is online, honey! something in the cloud somewhere in the cloud. Then how could they arrest a young woman doing something "in the cloud" with "virtual customers"? Unless they will scare her <deleted>less and confess >>>>> no evidence whatsoever. She was just recording videos for her Hollywood career. Ooops! somebody were watching? Wow!

pneumonia is the consequence of severed immune system. I don't want to name all those celebs whose death cause was announced "pneumonia" as it might sounds blasphemous. Move on: Dual pneumonia means upper and lower parts of lungs damaged. Well, from COVID-19 experience we learnt that there are ways to oxygenate blood even without working lungs. Temporarily. To make it short: Eminence had something more sinister with his health and that's why they rush to put him into the coffin and end the story. I won't buy that the wealthiest Vatican could not heal the Pope from puny pneumonia. There is some really scary story behind. Rest In Peace, Your Eminence PS: look at his meeting with JD Vence. He was completely immobilized and bloated. Pneumonia?

Would it be difficult to add "... in US" to the title? On the forum about TH why to worry about students from nowhere behaving badly in US? No? Ok
