hgma Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I was at a convenient store where the news broke out on tv, the Thai (female)owner started to rant about how lazy Thai people were, and how easy they could get money to borrow...she had to earn her money and could not spend more then she earned....fair enough.......but what struck me was that she didn't seem at all bothered by the gangs display of violence......not a word.

You absolutely HAVE to throw something "Red" into it, or somehow link it to Thaksin, where there is not even a microscopic shred of evidence of either one. It's a shame you can't be mature enough to read a story for what it is, instead of trying to find ways to twist it to suite your personal agenda.

Jonathan Fairfield Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Arrests in debt-collection shooting in Thanyaburi PHATUM THANI:-- Police have paraded two alleged members of a debt-collection gang accused of shooting at the house of a woman debtor in Pathum Thani's Thanyaburi district last Sunday. Wissanu Ampaiboon, 25, and Sompong Poonsuk, 30, reportedly confessed to having joined 11 other debt collectors in firing at the house allegedly on the order of reputed Nonthaburi-based loan shark Wuthichai Pho-art. They were brought to the 56-year-old victim's house to re-enact the crime yesterday. The men have been charged with attempted murder, gun possession, carrying a gun in public without permission and causing damage to another person's property. They claimed the victim failed to repay her debt despite receiving many previous warnings. They also said the woman's son argued with them. Deputy police chief Pongsapat Pongcharoen said the duo fled to Cambodia and were arrested in Sa Kaew upon returning to Thailand.

Praematura Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) No mention of charges that are the root problem in the first place of loan sharking.

DennisF Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Why oh why does every thread turn to bashing the Thais?? Loan sharks are in EVERY country, in this one they are just another part of the corruption circle. Thai people are low paid and find it hard to make ends meet... borrowing seems to them to be the only option. Unfortunately, they usually have no collateral and resort to loan sharks fore the 'must have ' things seen on their new smart phones. The blame here is with the nasty, insidious, grasping loan sharks whose repayments cripple people financially. Try not to blame the Thai people en masse, it shows your ignorance, not theirs. Walk a mile in their shoes before judging. Put thes two lowlifes in an 8x6 for 10 years. Scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MockingJay Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Even though I have and never will have any business with Thai loan sharks, I feel a deep disgust / repugnance whenever I see those Muak Gan Nok guys (mostly on 250cc bikes, mostly 2, both wearing helmets/masks, often gloves, long sleeve shirts, the pillion rider carrying a money shoulder bag) to an extend that I want to run them off the street. I hope all those devil's henchmen will have a life full of despair and misfortune as karmic repayment for working as debt collectors. As for the loan sharks themselves, charging 10% interest and more PER MONTH! I wish them nothing but gastric cancer, leprosy and brain tumors...

Low pay and not been able to manage so they borrow from loan sharks and their problems are compounded, Proper education in schools would help especially in maths. I am not just talking about Thailand, I have seen payday loans advertised in the UK where the interest has been 2000%.. If the loan sharks victims were able to work out what they had to actually pay back maybe they would not borrow in the first place.I have heard if Thai's borrow from Farang relatives it is considered to wrong for the Farang to ask for his money back, but obviously the loan sharks are different.

As for the loan sharks themselves, charging 10% interest and more PER MONTH! I wish them nothing but gastric cancer, leprosy and brain tumors... 10% per month is less than some western instant SMS loans that can be up to 20% per month. Every country has debt collectors,some in the form of governmental credit bureaus. if you don't want to meet them either pay back your loan or don't loan money. I hate people who take loans and don't expect to pay them back. That's why there's debt collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
