Busy boys, that's over 5 million dollars. And 1 million baht per card. You'd think the credit card company would take at least a little notice that someone has rung up over a million baht in fraudulent charges. I know my phone would be getting texted off the hook if it happened on one of my cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that much for high limit card holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock them up in BANGKOK hilton Nah mate... send them back to China. If anything good happens the Chinese authorities will want to save face with Thailand. They will be executed for bringing China into disrepute... Good on the Thais for getting onto it though. Plenty of more work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Wife made a card purchase at Banana IT last week. The cashier asked to see her Thai ID. That is the first time I've ever seen a cashier do that here and thought it quite good. A few times over the years, a cashier would refuse to make the transaction if we hadn't signed the back of the card. I usually just smile at that, and sign the card, and off she goes...... Anyway, well done to the CSD boys. 5 down, _?_ to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 one Racist post hidden Nothing racist about being race specific... The post was racist. A pathetic attempt at humour that contained none. Casual bigotry attempting to appear clever while exposing nothing but ignorance and prejudice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
