ThB 40,000 would have probably "sorted" things with an agent! They lucky they did not get ripped off for more and try a loan for 660k Baht to so-called sisters and nieces and paid back but to an a Niece and guess what it was a "gift" SCUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlwilliamsjr18 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sorry, but lets face it, as the saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't." Besides, why are these younger expats here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were enrolling in a course for 40,000 baht and getting an Ed Visa - it's a common method for many to prolong their stay in Thailand. A nice little money earner for an unscrupulous business capitalising on the desperation of people who are unable to carry out visa runs while Thailand remains under Emergency Decree - there will be many, many more. a nice little loophole (not) for unscrupulous foreigners trying to scam immigration..

klauskunkel Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I don't understand why people don't verify things that can impact their lives. If you have the time, check it out, make sure there are no misunderstandings, and try to get it in writing for example: I give you 40,000 baht, you get me an Ed Visa. Easy. If they refuse - red alert, Bridge to Capt. Kirk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherclaire Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 They'll have to sell a lot of stuff to get their money back. Hippies on Ko Phanghan got ripped off and can't buy new stash now.

Ventenio Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 surprised nobody commented on the guy in the picture. that shirt, hair, etc.....isn't exactly conforming to Thai culture!!!! can't wear that stuff to a temple.. but you can to the bong show!!!!! lol. he needs a Meditation certification for 100,000,000 baht and it will get him a visa for 87 days and 11 bowls of soup. OMG my heart is broken. The "Thai dream" shattered. I'll start a gofundme page for me and use the money to buy vegan steak. I was scammed once for about 10 baht.......jai yen yen. it's ok. it's ok. let's not worry, be happy, and remember to help the poor!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mnop Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2020 What is wrong with all you people, making fun of the victims? This was a well-reputable school and the government wasn't exactly doing much to help with their sense of security, withholding information on amnesty and all that. I know for a fact that many of these people are much smarter than you think with good intentions and acknowledgement and respect for the workings of the country. Some of you guys are taking the mockery way too far. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
