Bank does not care
Editor;
Beware! Early in October I discovered that there was money missing from my
bank account. The teller told me someone else had my pin number. No. I alone
have my pin number. She told to make a report to the police, which I did.
They filled out a form and told me to go back to my bank. I did. They asked
questions, filled out forms which were sent to the Bangkok office. I called.
No one knew anything. I called. No one knew anything. About four days in I
got a call from the bank saying they had found the culprit and had CCTV
photos and would I look at them. Back to my branch. They knew nothing about
this.
Call to Bangkok office. No one knew anything. They were wearing me down,
which I suspect was the desire from the start.
I emailed the bank in Bangkok. They knew nothing. Five days later I got an
email from the bank saying they could do nothing as this was a police
matter... besides, there were no photos from the CCTV as the camera was
broken.
Incredible. Rude, uninterested staff who are supposed to be giving good
service to their customers. The bottom line: the bank does not care. I have
taken out my money.

April Fool’s Day?
Editor;
I know Thailand has a different calendar to Europe and most of the rest of
the world, but I honestly didn’t realize today, October 12, was April Fool’s
Day. But it must be because I saw on page 3 of Pattaya Mail ‘Facing
crackdown, Jomtien jet ski vendors choose self-regulation’ (rather than
having City Hall doing it I presume).
If it is not April Fool’s Day then is should be - jet ski vendors self
regulating is almost as daft an idea as allowing the inmates of a lunatic
asylum or prisoners in detention to self regulate!
When is someone going to get serious about these scallywags?
Sorry, stupid question, we all know the answer to that, and we all know the
answer as to why it is so, so I am not really surprised that the scammers
have been allowed to continue their piracy for so many years without and
serious effort to reign them in. And I see no reason, reading the headline
‘Jomtien jet ski vendors choose self-regulation’ to have any hope anything
will ever change - sad!
