Is there any way to complaint about a lawyer in thailand who scammed me? Or get the money back? I have the receipt and his details with license number.

To all DTV holders:

Is anyone else unable to open or even keep a normal Thai bank account? (Well, don’t all answer at once!)

My Bangkok Bank account (opened legally in 2022) is currently frozen due to a SIM update issue, and I was informed that after standard KYC it may be permanently closed solely because I hold a DTV visa without a work permit.

Before anyone suggests Wise, Revolut or other workarounds – that is not the point!

I am not looking for hacks. I want to function as a NORMAL person with a local Thai bank account in the country where I legally live and spend my own money!

Forcing legal long-stay residents into cash-only or fintech-only solutions contradicts AML goals and personal safety.

I have filed a complaint with the Bank of Thailand.

If you experience the same issue, please comment or submit your complaint too – nothing changes unless enough of us speak up.

EDIT: The only thing that has any real effect is filing formal complaints, not arguing online.

For anyone interested, here are the official contacts:

Bank of Thailand – Consumer Protection:

contact@bot.or.th

Tourism Authority of Thailand

tatcontact@tat.or.th

You can add your embassy in copy.

You submit your complaint directly there, attach a brief explanation of the issue. Public pressure only works when combined with official action — individual silence or arguing online changes nothing.

Deceptive packaging:

In the US this wouldn't be legal, the average consumer would believe this package contains 15g of protein, wouldn't they?

We all know thailand doesn't have the same level of consumer protection regulations, but kellogs is an American company. I find this deceptive advertising practice highly bad (can't think of the word).

Anyone else?

Hello , good evening dear community, someone scam me on Facebook market and I paid him money to transfer 2 items for me from bangkok to koh samui but he never answered me again on chat and I think he never will , so do anyone knows how and where I can report him to the police and sue him? I have transactions to his bank account and chat history for one tv and refrigerator, if anyone knows I would be appreciated to telling me what to do ? Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I don't remember if I posted this here or a different group, but the answers were useless so trying again.

Looking for referral to legit reliable Thai life insurance company. The lack of consumer protection here and my general experience with commerce has my exceedingly wary of if my people would actually get a check.

What company are you using and why?
