So true.

   But I've often wondered how they were able to get together in the first place.

Yeah Thailand must be the only country in the world that has scams. No prisons, no crime, everybody is honest except in Thailand.

Greed on both ends.......

If you had 800,000 baht, place it in an account and leave it alone. Why use it to invest when you have what you need?

It seems the older they get the dumber they get........

 

 

 Words of Wisdom , from a Newbie ..  Any Links ?

    Fyi , the older you get , the  richer  you  get ... Pensions , etc .

    My BP pension , along with my DWPension .

Seems easy to scam people in Thailand

Absolutely! Legal protection is flimsy ! The fact that products and services can be sold which  have false information in shops, online,  everywhere. And the sellers know there's very little action taken so they just carry on their merry way !

They are not the victims, they are the criminals. They knew full well that lending the money to those who did not have it is against the law, but wanted to make money themselves.

This is just as much their scam as any Thai person.

That's obvious...

But why let the facts get in the way of a little gratuitous Thai-bashing?

Similar reactions are almost spontaneous among these pitiful misfits.
