This is what happens when special treatment is given to a certain group of tourists in the country. If every tourists were kicked in their butt for any trouble that they are causing in the country, then such things will not happen.

I like the logic. Does that mean that if thai scammers were probably kicked in the butt, then there wouldn't be any scammers in Thailand at all?

Or is it that scammers are everywhere.I f you present them with opportunity they move in. Foolish of the Chinese fellow to set up such a transaction with strangers, and even more foolish by the Australian couple to commit fraud and theft inside a bank in front of multiple cameras.

There’s a solid argument for the police not to be involved. Where is the onus on the victim in this instance, who stupidly handed over his money?

Something about this story doesn't add up.  How dumb do you have to be to buy digital money from a stranger online who you need to then meet in person whilst it is common knowledge one can easily buy digital money online directly through exchanges.  Either information is missing or this Chinese national is one dumb bloke.

STUPID is…..as STUPID does.   The wussies must have been smoking the “medical” stuff abundant in Bangkok to attempt this in a BANK.   Did they not realize the security systems in there.   As for the victim….. Buddha almighty,  just how……naive can you be ?

They will be in Thailand for a long time with free food and free lodging.

As far as I know Chinese Nationals are not allowed to buy and own cryptocurrency
