From an anecdotal point, no. The people in my area (Nakhon Pathom) are very nice. I've not even seen one lose their temper since I had an altercation on the road 9 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply saying, something really ticked this guy off to smash the shop up. Most people who don't pay their bills expect to be cut off. They know it's just a matter of time. It just seems a little strange that he would not pay the bill, but not expect to be cut off, and then smashes the shop up about it. Once again, not condoning his actions, but wondering if DTAC didn't have a hand to play leading up to the incident. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't just cutting him off from the telephone network, but also could be they shut down the phone..... some plans offer a 'free' phone, but you have to make the payments, or it can get shut down.

I think they can do that with phones that have eSims. You have probably seen "Unlock" or "Jailbreak" signs on the phone shops here. It's easy to unlock a phone that's tied to a specific network. Again, not condoning his actions with damaging the shop, but DTAC really ticked him off, which makes me wonder if some DTAC incompetence wasn't involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this feature was more than simply a locked SIM.... those were not allowed in Thailand some years ago, but I have had Thai text translated which suggests some locking is around these days. Even in UK there were some models/providers that were harder to unlock.... seems fair when effectively the phone comes free with a contract. In Thailand I always buy an unlocked phone.

You must be referring to phones with eSims. It's not a free phone, it's actually a credit contract, similar to applying for a credit card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s not good to resort to violence, we all know how frustrating it can be dealing with these companies, but that doesn’t justify the completely over the top reaction from the ‘mob’. Poor guy. Ohh stop, the guy was smashing the place up, could of had a weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
