Try the 5-7 Indian money lenders on Soi Cowboy. I wonder what their work permit says and how much in taxes they pay?? THey are out in force between 6-8pm.  More of them than watch sellers now!!!!

Charging this sort of level of interest is just pure evil.

Taking advantage of desperate people like this is extortion, pure and simple.

I hope these two fellas are given a very lengthy period of time to reflect on their almost subhuman behaviour.

Scum.
