Bankok Bank Message
That is interesting. I’m trying to work out the criteria for which accounts are being called up, because it isn’t everyone. Maybe there are a few “problematic branches?” So far it’s just Bangkok Bank that are calling people in. I guess I’m hoping the fallout will be limited before the crackdown winds change. Good luck at your visit to the bank, presumably today. -

Crime Police Bust Six Scam Networks, Arrest Three Chinese Bosses
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Police have dismantled six scam and money mule networks, arresting dozens of suspects including three Chinese ringleaders. Police Colonel Chotiwat, Commander of Metropolitan Police Investigation Division 9, announced the results at a press conference on 19 August. The operation followed 44 arrest warrants issued by the Criminal Court, with more than half the suspects now in custody. Investigators revealed that Chinese nationals led the networks, using Thai accomplices as “money mules” to withdraw funds from victims before transferring cash and digital assets overseas. Many recruits were lured through Facebook advertisements. Network 1 involved 6 Thai suspects who managed profits from criminal activities and withdrew money through the group’s accounts, with Chinese commanders controlling and planning operations. This network used vehicle rentals and frequently changed residences to evade authorities, operating continuously since early 2025. Network 2 saw authorities arrest Mr. Lei and Mr. Haithai, two Chinese bosses who controlled operations and managed finances, along with 3 Thai accomplices with divided roles including opening accounts, withdrawing money for commission shares, and renting accommodations. They received 1,000-2,000 baht per transaction. This network’s fraud method involved claiming to be Ministry of Education officials offering deposit protection. Investigation revealed the two Chinese nationals rented a hotel on Ratchadaphisek Road as their base. Police raided and arrested everyone on organised crime charges. During the raid, they also found a Thai woman using drugs in the room, leading to additional charges for methamphetamine possession. Network 3 emerged from a case where scammers sent messages claiming damaged packages and offering 500 baht compensation, but actually tricking victims into transferring money. They used money mules in two rounds: first, a Thai woman named Ms. Thida withdrew 814,000 baht, then Ms. Wanatra withdrew 1.6 million baht from corporate accounts. Financial tracking revealed over 3 million baht in cash withdrawals, suggesting money from other victims was also processed through these mule accounts. This network was controlled by Mr. Weiming, a Chinese national, along with 4 Thai accomplices who opened mule accounts and withdrew money across multiple provinces including Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Regional Police Region 1 areas, and Bangkok. Authorities issued 11 arrest warrants, successfully apprehending 5 suspects including Weiming, who was captured at a restaurant in Huai Khwang while eating. Weiming claimed he couldn’t speak Thai and requested an interpreter, initially denying involvement with scammers and money mules. He also claimed to have heart problems, but police investigation revealed this was merely acting. Police had key photographic evidence of Weiming collecting cash from the money mule group. Network 4 involved 5 suspects, 2 brokers recruiting money mules, a withdrawal controller, an assistant boss and a Chinese national controlling operations and distributing profits among accomplices. Network 5 saw the arrest of 5 suspects including one foreign national, with seizure of communication equipment, SIM cards, multiple bank account books and substantial cash from criminal proceeds. All 5 managed finances from defrauding victims regarding civil service retirement funds. After victims transferred money to the group’s accounts, suspects would withdraw cash from various branches to deliver to controllers. Network 6 involved Nonthaburi City Police in arresting a group managing profits from scamming citizens through intimidating phone calls. After victims transferred money, financial controllers would order this suspect and accomplices to withdraw money under supervision. Metropolitan Investigation Team 9 is expanding the investigation into other accomplices Colonel Chotiwat warned that investigations are continuing to trace other accomplices, stressing that scam operations are increasingly sophisticated and mobile.
