A group of about a dozen Thais went to Pattaya police yesterday to say that one of their trusted friends had ripped them off to the tune of 10 million baht. 

 

Piyathida Wongthani, 40, said they believed their friend because she ran a tour company. They invested in a Ponzi scheme and an insurance and loan scam. 

 

There are thought to be more than 20 victims some of whom have already reported separately to police. Losses are in the region of ten million baht, reported Pattaya Online News

 

Police said they want to talk to Suphaporn Thongwanphen, 51, who has a police record for hiring illegal guides.

Well, no true Thais at least.

This thread makes a refreshing change from the SOS of a farang being conned by a Thai. Although having said that, I've found all the Thais I deal with on a daily basis are honest. Perhaps that's because I'm in Chiang Mai, not Pattaya.

Although they have been ripped off, at least there appears to be food on the table for them.

(They are not starving)

While he has 10 million baht to spend, I bet they do.

Misunderstanding yet to be proved !

Even my Thai wife of 20 years has always told me never ever trust a Thai person.

At least they are equal opportunity and everyone is a potential target for the devious sorts.
