asean Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 ah I remember when this news item first came out how so many were calling out the Thai banks and their employees for being corrupted cheats. LOL well i guess this is TITV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A snapshot of both sides of the card gives this information. And that is exactly why giving your card to pay a restaurant or bar bill--or anywhere they take the card out of your sight bill--is poor practice. To easy to simply photo both sides of the card.

How could you possibly know? That's exactly the point, nobody knows. If this were another topic about another country there would be an element of "benefit of the doubt" involved, but because this is Thai banks there can be no such leeway, guilty until proven innocent is the cry and the angst of some posters who have now learned it wasn't the banks fault in this case is almost audible. From what I read and from what I know after working for banks in the US, the UK and in Asia and from banking with banks in Thailand for the past sixteen years, fraud is no more and no less here than it is elsewhere. But many Americans seem to think it's heresy to suggest that fraud could ever be committed at a bank on US soil, far too many safeguards, checks and balances, bladety bladety blah, yet here everyone is supposedly stupid and a thief.!

Why is it so hard for so many of you to see a real marriage in which both partners own the assets equally.

DJ54 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Perhaps the reason some don’t want to keep large sums of money in Thai bank account. Luckily it was a person tight on money and was using the money to prove income for visa reasons. Sometime people get desperate or greedy and do something they shouldn’t. Wife and I have separate and joint bank accounts. Most of the money is in my account which only I can access. Joint account only wife has ATM average balance 5,000 baht. Last month I put 59,000 in the joint account to see if she could manage money. Couple weeks passed I asked how much money still in joint account 50k spent 9k on whatever. I’m going into town to market and she’s out someplace. I do have the bank book. Went to market bank in market. Check uhhh nope 2,000 and change. Got home said I’m not going get angry but I know you spent the money on something and don’t care what. I gave you the benefit of showing you can manage money and you failed horrible. Said next time you ask why not keep more money in the account think about today and don’t confuse my not getting angry as a weakness always remember I’m not smart but far from stupid. Given enough rope and........failure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said many times especially in Pattaya. "Farang has money, Thai has not. OK to take". Just seems like another family conspiracy? Which is sad for another smitten farang, and Thailand's image once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I guess it is easier to make those purchasing decisions, when it is somebody elses money. Depending on the nature of the purchases by the daughter, I guess they now belong to the parents, useful or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
