He was then seen to leave the store and enter the passenger side of a Honda Jazz car parked nearby.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/163799/pattaya-police-arrest-two-men-accused-of-credit-card-fraud/-- Pattaya One 2015-01-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 For some reason I always thought Thai men wearing glasses were more trustworthy than the norm. Just goes to show....... Anyway, they both look like numpties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWorldwide Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think some leniency should be granted to Khun Akkarathitiwirakul - clearly I'm not the only one who looks at the tiny spaces allocated on many forms in Thailand for things like your name and address - my surname has only 5 letters and his appears to have about 145 by my count (Just looked at my Krung Thai Debit card - it doesnt even have my name on it, just a number. Clearly, they quickly realised plastic wasnt going to work with Thai names) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
