Is a ban really necessary? Give him a fine and let him know if he does it again the consequences will be more serious. Banning him from Thailand seems extreme and unduly harsh to me, and hardly fitting of the crime. Mark? Is that you? 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife used to sell them along with souvenirs on the Bangla Road Phuket 20 years ago. Back then the police fee was a 1000 baht a month. They were round as regular as clockwork to collect their money and have a chat. Shoplifters would be caught pinned to the ground and extorted for 10 times the estimated value of what they had nicked which would be an extorted price to start with (or the cops - up to you!) - she says Italians were by far the worse of falangs for nicking stuff and Japanese were the easiest to rip off. She is a clever woman my wife. Been to Thailand's University of Life graduated with 1st Class Honours. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope for much greater things than that - clean air for starters , and a repeal or relaxation of TM30 restrictions for desserts. A farang flogging hookey watechs to others isn't even on my radar !

impulse Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not that it matters much, but was he selling them as real, or as the fakes they were? 100,000 baht for 12 watches seems to be the price from the BIB, not necessarily what he was selling them for. And that's only $275 a pop. I know guys who gladly paid that much for good fake Rolexes (though not in Thailand). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or only a crime if you're not Thai? I don't know why people connect working without a permit to taking a job a Thai could do. You can be working in a field wide open to foreigners, doing a job you are uniquely qualified in the world to do, and still get banged up if you don't have a WP. And you can get a WP and be legal to do lots of jobs that Thai people are perfectly qualified to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchooptip Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 When someone buys a Rolex on the street everyone knows that it is fake because it is cheap. While this moron mounts a whole explanation on the internet to make buyers believe that it is a collector who reluctantly gets rid of a real Rolex and that it is a unique case that breaks his heart because he has to need money. So those who more or less defend him by joking that only the Thais have the right did not understand anything, this kind of moron sells its copies ten times more expensive, like 20,000 ฿. He is nothing more than a scammer who steals hard-earned money without the slightest shame from gullible people, so my tolerance for this kind of individual is 0%! I hope he will taste a little time behind bars before being ban for life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
