In short purchased a laptop, I asked does it come with Windows 10 and Outlook 2016, yes....I take care, you come back in one hour, me thinking he was going to do me a deal for Windows 10 and Outlook 2016, when I returned, he said they have been uploaded onto the laptop, no charge for you, all include in price, thanks chump I said, only to find out 6 months later that he got it downloaded from the net, a key for 6 months, then was shut out, suffice to say, I was pissed, so I went into the store and he said, no pompem, 100 baht I can do again for you, no no no mate, I want originals, no have, so I walked out. When I got home I decided to ring the place that I get my toner from for my printer, yes have, do you have them in stock, yes have, 7,000 baht, so I took the 20 minuted drive to collect them. When I arrived at the store, he said you pay now and come back tomorrow afternoon, I said, but you said you have them in stock, yes, we order on line for you, I just walked out bemused, then a kind Xpat at a bar I frequent said he had a spare copy, couple of beer later and the following day, I was back up and running, cost, a couple of beers, great business people these Thai's NOT, bith shops have lost this farangs future business, which makes me happy, because the kids will need computers soon, etc etc 555 A 'spare' copy of Windows 10 and Office 2016. I think not. KMSpico probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What goes around.......or as they say around these parts, "som nam na" Rubbish. One may elect to buy over inflated designer goods that are fake which in fact help the economy. People do not ask for fake notes which are passed to them without their knowledge. There is no comparison between the two form of fakery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing Thailand. We all pick and choose which laws we respect in all countries. However to conflate false designer goods bought voluntarily with carved currency is stupid as it is not the same. Fake goods benefits millions of people and aids the economy. Forgery is a heinous crime. Mass immigration in the UK has led to an increase in the forgery of high value coins.

Not likely. Thru the years of TVF, how many posts can you find claiming receipt of fake notes at exchange booths? And from credible posters (lot of lies here). Can you imagine the hysteria extended over 50 pages or so? But you can find news about attempts to scam the exchange booths. Try not to feed all the paranoia and victimism.

Really? Everyday? Only got yourself to blame, then. You're the only one who would be in a position to do that in respect of the counterfeits you (almost certainly don't) buy everyday, so why don't you do it?

sanemax Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I have noticed that there are new 1000 Baht notes, genuine ones, that seem thinner than the older ones . Maybe some people think that the newer 1000 Baht notes are fake ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai traders stuck with a dud note is more likely to pass them off to other foriegners 3. any foreigner who unwittingly receive one and then tries to spend it is likely to be in for a very expensive shakedown. 2. Exactly how would a trader, Thai or nor, be able to pass off a counterfeit note of the largest denomination to foreigners? Change for a B5,000 note, perhaps?

I wonder who the real culprit/'s is/are? Who produce and sell Fake goods to Arabs and Other Foreign Tourists? How many Arabs and other Foreigners been conned and done in Thailand? I am eagerly awaiting the police investigation and the arrest if those behind that job.? The people who are making the allegations are the ones who received the notes from the Arabs! You think that just because some Thais do sell counterfeits that this trader, who has had no accusation of that made against him, should just suck up the loss? You don't have to wait for the investigation you want, all you have to do is keep up with the news. RTP are frequently raiding and arresting those that you think aren't targeted for selling fakes.
