I get the impression the poor guy maybe has dementia issues. Seems sad... not everyone has credit cards or ATM cards... a domineering wife could be behind this too. -

Crime British Tenant Trashes Pattaya Rental, Landlord Seeks Legal Action
Yes, a sufficient deposit and passport details should have been taken. The first property I rented I was always fixing things and even put insulation over the false ceiling at my cost. Still couldn't get my deposit back but that was because the owners had problems. These bad tenants make it more difficult for others , and do little for the reputation of my Nation. I have seen worse though....... -

Crime Ten Women Arrested in Nationwide ‘FWFans’ Sex Trafficking Network Bust
Picture courtesy of ThaiRath. Cybercrime police have arrested ten women in connection with a large-scale online prostitution network operating under the guise of a dating website. The platform, known as “FWFans,” was allegedly a front for arranging sexual services across more than 150 locations nationwide, with over 2,000 women, both Thai and foreign, advertised to clients. The arrests were made following coordinated raids at two separate locations in Pathum Thani and Nonthaburi provinces, as part of a broader investigation into the online platform originally known as “FIWFans” or “Feel Fan.” The platform falsely presented itself as a site for finding romantic partners, companions, or massage services, but was in fact facilitating the commercial sex trade. Police say the operation was run through a well-structured network involving agents who took a 40% commission on every transaction. The website reportedly hosted dozens of profiles featuring images of women offering “sideline” services, and was connected to a larger network through the LINE messaging app and a Telegram group also named “FWFans.” Undercover officers posing as customers confirmed the sale of sexual services, with prices ranging from 1,300 to 5,000 baht for a 40-minute session. Investigators estimate that over the past two months alone, the operation generated more than 10 million baht in revenue. At the press conference held at the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) on 3 May, Police Lieutenant General Trirong Piwpan, Commissioner of the CCIB, stated that the case originated from earlier efforts by the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division. Though the original “FIWFans” site was previously shut down, the network allegedly re-emerged under a new URL as “FWFans,” continuing the same illicit activities under a different name. The first raid, carried out in Nonthaburi’s Rattanathibet area, led to the arrest of six women, five Thai nationals and one Laotian, at an apartment complex near Phra Nang Klao Bridge. The second operation took place at a hotel residence in Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani, where four more suspects were apprehended, including another Laotian national. Authorities seized 13 mobile phones, a large quantity of condoms, and lubricant from both locations. All ten suspects reportedly admitted to voluntarily engaging in the work without coercion. The women now face charges under Thai law for advertising, soliciting, or facilitating prostitution through printed or digital media, and promoting sexual services to the public. Investigations into the broader network are ongoing, as police aim to identify the agents, website administrators, and financial channels involved in the illicit operation. Officials emphasise that while the suspects claim to have acted willingly, the platform’s structure and widespread reach raise serious concerns about human trafficking and exploitation. The authorities have pledged to continue cracking down on similar digital sex trade platforms operating under false pretences. Adapted by Asean Now from ThaiRath 2025-05-05. -

Usually they come and take the meter away. Outstanding balance must be paid and a reconnection fee. If that was the case there would not really be unpaid bills....did the property owners perhaps cover it?
