Police seek cleaner after US man loses Bt200,000 cash at Surin mall

Like I said Nick. It is amazingly being done in India. There is 5 different ways Indians can access their system. It is truly amazing and they are making it work. Not much is heard about this in the news. I am fascinated by it, on a technological and human innovation basis.

Interesting article here for those that want to know how they are doing it.

Mr 44 has seen the future. That is what Thailand 4.0 is all about copying India's lead. There will be kicking and screaming and gnashing of teeth but it will come !

Sorry for Hi Jacking the OP.

Apologies for continuing to hack the thread, but in view of the above, why, oh why then, have they now brought out 25 and 50 satang coins bearing the new Kings head. Time to get rid of the satangs at least! The 1 and 2 bahts can follow.

The first one with the cat house charge I did not sign..;;superman;; He fell out of his chair laughing his arse off.;;haha;;;;haha;;;;haha;; About 6 weeks latter I was back from another successful road trip and was in the office once more turning in my reports. My boss called me into his office and ask that I do not use the AMEX card at another cat house the reason being was the corporate gets a copy of all AMEX charges even though I got a monthly statement and bill from AMEX which I paid.

The AMEX receipt I hung with pride on the drivers sun shade of my F 350 service van 1987.;;victory;;;;victory;;;;victory;;;;victory;;;;victory;; My boss did ask me that the next time I going to visit a cat house in Nevada to let him know as he wanted to check one out and take him along.::Devil::
 
When I was residing on the Left Coast I worked for a corporate office in Memph-fissss, TN.
I was referred to as Yankee by the primarily 'South of the Mason-Dixon line' hierarchy schooled at Georgia Tech, Duke, UGa, UMiss, UTenn and Memphis State.

Primarily God-fearing Baptists I never met a wilder bunch of good 'ole boys when they were away from home turf.

I actually got a phone call questioning a very expensive tab at Platinum Gold (Pink or Cheetah Gold) or whatever in LV.
After a nice casino dinner I was left with a few decision-makers from a large potential client along with our VP Engineering to go out on the town.
He requested that I utilize my credit card as this was primarily a sales function (and of course he a was devout tea-toddler dispensing a prayer prior to sitting down to dinner).

I believe I paid for several hours of this Mr VP's "time" to be silly-puttyed in the hands of Natasha (or some other suggestive name with the heavy Russian 'Bor-rissss' accent) in a private upstairs room.

At one point I was the only man left seated out of a table of five and probably had a dozen ladies over those two hours come and sit with me over a drink to chat and inquire if I needed some companionship (possibly thinking I had money since it was my credit card being utilized).

Since I was the designated driver and had to make sure I was able to give the presentation the following morning at the potential client's facility I soundly figured I could always come and play at another future date after the sale was consummated.

A very good decision in hindsight though I was accused of "paying for sex" by a higher-up lady in Finance who reviewed expense reports and brought it to my VP Sales attention.
The report shows as to exactly whom I had entertained eventhough I had left off our VP Engineering's name.

He inquired with a phone call if our VP Engineering was involved and I truthfully answered in the affirmative.
He inquired as to why I had left our VP's name off of the report. I replied that I didn't want to impugn on his character since he was 'a devout Baptist'...as well as we required a good relationship with Engineering on this project and future endeavours.

He seemed to convey the feeling that our VP Engineering took advantage of the sales reps whenever he traveled out of town to NY, LA, Dallas, Chicago or Atlanta etc....and imparted that if Mr VP Engineering comes on another call to 'an entertainment establishment' the Engineering credit card account should be pressed into service.

I responded, "Yes sir" and sent an e-message to our VP Engineering as to whether he thought my presentation was received well.

He replied with a phone call (probably in order to avoid a paper trail), "Dang Coffee - a fine presentation ! I would have purchased five Natashas !" (Oh dear. :cool:)

^^^ What does my post have to do with the OP ? I haven't a farking clue.
(It had more to do with GL's previous posts regarding credit cards and business entertainment.)

Ahhh, a memory from the good old days circa twenty years ago.
 
To add to OUR memories that same company whose AMEX was bonked had their proprietary fluid distribution facility in Charleston West BY God Virginia. This is home of the ORIGINAL MOONSHINE. The 18 wheel semi drivers that my company employed were Smoky and the Bandit graduates. One individual that I had the pleasure of teaming up with on numerous jobs across the country had his home just outside Charleston, his home was not like Li'l ABNER'S . He lived a few miles out of town and I had e pleasure of visiting him and his family two times. NOW for the best part up in a hollow another couple miles from his home he had a moonshine still that would make Li'l ABNER and Thunder Road die from jeliousy. Every trip he mad he would have a 1 gallon jug of shine behind his seat in the cab. Yes I did.:D:D:D
 
Perhaps time to start a NOSTALGIA thread.

Nah, I don't want to relive my divorce again.

And I sure don't want to dream about the steaks or rumps :hearteyecat:at Portland's Acropolis twenty years ago. (Right, @mario299 ?)

(Mario, I do fondly recall the Ringside on Burnside had great steaks and martinis but didn't have dancers. Perfect dinner spot to start the night. THB 1,800 - 2,500 for two with gratuity back then. Now :mask: ?)
