Popular Post webfact Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported that the civil case brought by an old lady called Huay Sriwirat was settled at the Phrakhanong court yesterday. When Huay - known in the Thai media as amah, a kind of nanny in Chinese/Thai families - went into hospital her daughter connived with Kasikorn bank staff to get at her savings. Lawyer Ananchai Chaidech said that the resolution of the case should be a wake up call to banks not to trust their staff. The court ordered the defendants in the case to return 207 million baht to Huay plus varying rates of interest back and forward dated. The defendants were the bank itself, four of its staff and the victim's second child, her daughter Mawadee Sririrat. The daughter and two of the staff members falsely changed access to the old lady's accounts while she was sick. Documents were falsified with fake signatures. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-01-20 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

I have to say when it comes to money blood is definitely thicker than water. I have never known such an obsessed nation so obsessed with money. From the taxi driver asking how much your salary is to the middle classes never satisfied with what they have. I won a million baht, why wasn't it 10 million. For a Buddhist country which is not supposedly meant to be obsessed with money, the reality is very different . My faith in Buddhism was shattered when I saw a monk with 3 iPhone's. I have seen countless other incidents which shows that it is quite a farce. No doubt the apologists will be here to defend this but from my opinion of 20 years within Thailand, when it comes to money many people have little morals. This story just highlights this and confirms what I have seen and know. 31 2 19 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post worgeordie Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Nothing worse than family when it comes to money, in my case anyway, you have it, they want it, No mention in this case what sentences were given to those guilty of quite a few serious charges , I hope not just paying money back with interest. I see a civil case , what about criminal charges ???? regards Worgeordie Edited January 20, 2023 by worgeordie 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks have been doing that for a long time in LOS. Imagine a naive backpacker. A cash advance on visa card. They make two receipts, flip the numbers and add zeros. Lucky the original receipt was kept which showed 100 US had been advanced, in baht, not 2,500 USD !! I doubt Visa ever got their money back, by the way. NOTE - Attorney says this was a 'misunderstanding', and after 38 years, the bank, branch location, cannot be specifically recalled due to premature senility & alcohol abuse, .... hmmmmm Ok. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Asking the banks to take more care is a waste of time. They take little interest in such things even when you report scammers to them with the scammers bank details. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
