ezzra Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Such huge quantities of counterfeit could be imported into the country without the direct and explicit involvements of people in the right places such as ports, airports and other entry point into the kingdom..

colinneil Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Easy target for them as pirated goods cannot run and hide. Bet they did not find any wayward monks hiding in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the low quality imported Chinese counterfeit goods. She should be more selective and look elsewhere for the high quality Thai manufactured counterfeit products.

FredNL Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) But nothing is done about the illegal software at Pantip Plaza, Fortune Town and all other illegal markets. Every time I visit those places I see my own developed and my company's software. Foreigners paying 2.5 times as much for it as Thai for the illegal software. My own developed software (the original) started at 49.99 USD purchase price per working station and annually 10 USD per working station for update(s) and license renewal. In Bangkok purchase price 200 THB for Thai (500 THB for farangs) but no updates that can be downloaded when having an invalid / copied license key. It only runs when not connected to our servers. We even get messages / complaints from Thai that need an update but they don't have a license... Big Thai companies (banks, payment providers, logistic companies) complaining, threatening us with lawsuits !!! But they're running an illegal version and they think that they have paid some software engineer for an original what a year later seems to be a pirated copy... We see all pirated software with their IP address trying to login on our system. Thailand, Vietnam and Turkey are the top 3 countries with the most pirated software availabe and running.
