  1. Cyber police is some sort of elite force. But even "the elite" has to bring some results. And that unfortunate fellas arrest was a result of their hard investigation.
  2. you have no idea, sir, how right you are. They promise hell and eternal suffering to "patients"
  3. it is almost impossible to prove him guilty.
  4. Not true. Palestinians just ignore and max they will cross the road. I've seen openly 6ay people in restaurants. There are some very orthodox places in Middle East, but generally they don't give a flying banana. Its business, nothing else btw, Arafat was "him". Latent, but "him".
  5. Israel is omni-present (as I was told). Simple answer, itsn't?
  6. Taxation. only that. Foreigners pay differently from locals and there's some wholes in taxation. Nothing sinister.
  7. do you need exact location incl MRT and coordinates? There are many courts - you just ask directions and be nice ))) Google Earth to:13.81195, 100.5743 (Court of Justice)
  8. Ratchada Rd. is the place I submitted my complain. they even helped me to do some paper works. about 5-6 month I got money back with interest.
  9. If you have the proof of money transfer than just file a report to police, than ---> court. but it it was cash than sorry, you lost 200K don't call her, let the justice work
  10. if your traffic being encrypted straight from your client than passes through whatever wifi to your VPN gate, then decrypted on another side of the world >>> what can go wrong? Any sniffing at WiFi will be useless That's is not some new concept - I think we used it last century already
  11. I think "a law firm should be able to oversee the deal" but not "participate as an agent with commission paid". Yes, I met both types of lawyers working for fixed rate and very few - for the part of the money their client demanded. But those were very special cases with huge sums at stake. Some 5* resort at Samui didn't pay almost 10M for luxury pools and similar. So lawyer was happy with 15% reward.
  12. I see. That makes sense: if your market of "rich suckers" is different from basic tinglish speaking, than yes, they need a "native communicator". No matter that they often lie to prospects about "special visa", 6-7 return of investment, specal discounts and other BS.
  13. elephant pants. no thai will wear this nonsense outfit.
  14. Really? wow, I didn't know that! I see thousands of sites of real-estate agencies run by farangs with openly posing pictures of themselves at luxury locations. interesting twist!
  15. rewritten by ChatGPT. it is common practice now. thai news >>translate>>rewrite w/robot can automate it and make hundreds "news from Thailand" websites
  16. would be funny if he was innocent and that was just a setup by some dannish jerk who used this unfortunate fella bank account. AFAIK bank accounts are about 5K if you buy in bulk <<< (trading, crypto, casino and similar biz)
  17. last month it was 2 ugly women allegedly offering their services for 13000 THB (sure-sure!), now some dude massager allegedly working (sure-sure!) for 7000. Funny that police arrested him based on (well) nothing! And again - even at Bamrungrad Hosp. chiropractors charges less than 3000 per session, good one, not a male-nurse.
  18. made-up story. there's no way 7.000 massage, even super-duper private massage from foreigner will be about 5K max. working? did they exchange money? not. loads of carp. although I think it is pathetic to advertise services on Insta, but I would say the story is complete baloney
  19. In Bangkok Bank HQ I saw old farang and his Thai wife who asked to open joined account for the "condo" purpose. Refused. No more joint accounts. Than he asked only for himself to transfer money. Refused as well. I spoke with big manager and he told me that my bank abroad has to send SWIFT message to BBL that I have the saving account there and they "endorse" opening an account in Thailand. Very nice and kind guy. Even to open account to pay for hospital bills is impossible. He said there were some regulations last April (2023) to prohibit new accounts for tourists.
  20. Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately after Oslo there won't be any ceasefires: every family on both sides lost their members >>> it's hard to forgive an forget, isn't? I've heard horrible stories from both sides, from those members.
  21. Friend asked for Ritalin. We went to that junction in BKK. No, they refused to sell w/o prescription. But the w/ ADHD >>> no problem. I only wonder what is so cool about that drug?
  22. The only news broadcaster I can watch. The rest is B.<deleted>ers. Even France24 became unwatchable. About subject - Bibi decided in few hours to shut down and loot property of foreign company?! All hail Bibi - new duche!
