bkkcanuck8 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) You can set your daily (and weekly) limit lower (it usually is just left at the default level when the account is opened)...... definitely a reason to lower your daily limit for ATM withdrawals Edited October 9, 2014 by bkkcanuck8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike324 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ATM cards come preset at 20,000 or 25,000 baht per withdrawal. I remember you can change the limit yourself on the ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuddy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It would be possible for fake police to be real police. Oh, or it would be possible for real police to be fake police. The common denominator would be that one possibly has to pay money in either case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culicine Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It seems likely the culprits may know him - how many randomly chosen Thais have a spare 100K in their bank account? If not, they got very lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitawatWatawit Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 One thing we are overlooking, me included, is the effect on the young man involved. He's had a lethal weapon pulled on him by two thuggish (I would presume) types and threatened. He's then handcuffed and taken back to his house, then whipped off to an ATM, then taken to a quiet spot and left (this later part is where I would be dumping some big ones, because you would have no idea whether these two were going to top you to get rid of evidence and ditch your body). What an ordeal. I'm glad he's ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviss Geez Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I didn't know you could withdraw that much money at one time. I believe there is a daily limit. Shows how much you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konying Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Irrelevant. He could have had more than one ATM card (I do, but don't carry them with me). It's the fake police who worry me. Why you think they were fake? Because the article goes on to explain that at least one is a known criminal and not a policeman. So if he is a known criminal any reason why he is walking around free? and able to get his hands on police uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ^^ He had a past history and past convictions apparently but that does not mean he was "walking around free" and no mention was made of the two wearing any uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montereyjp Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So the victim is driving his car and stops because these two fake policemen flagged him down? Or did they setup some sort of roadblock? I am not stopping my vehicle if it is just two policemen trying to flag me down while standing on the side of the road... Even if they turn out to be real this situation is always a shakedown as a proper checkpoint is manned by many policemen, not just two... Even my Thai GF knows this and will just keep driving her motorbike past them as they are in no position to chase her down... A proper road block will have policemen stationed before and after the checkpoint... Not sure why this guy stopped but I certainly would not have even if said policemen where pointing a gun at me... I would simple speed up and keep going as that is the best course of action in this type of scenario... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytitfull Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 With Bangkok Bank you can set your daily limit it might be 25k per time but up to your set limit in one day mine is 500,000 per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konying Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ^^ He had a past history and past convictions apparently but that does not mean he was "walking around free" and no mention was made of the two wearing any uniforms. Very true, so the 2 "fake" uniformed police made car pull over, showed or not showed "fake" identification, went to victims house, made him "ASK' what it would cost for "non existent" drugs to go away? Still think fake is the "real" story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments and opinions are welcomed but asking questions that no-one here can answer is going no-where so now - as a moderator rather than just a poster - I ask that you please phrase your comments in a way that do not ask questions that only the Nongprue police station or those others involved can answer as that is non-productive and now getting argumentative. petercool - moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
