Christ. Thailand, does it have some kind of consumer law??
Lol... Thailand has many laws, just that enforcement is either non existent or can be eased with cash...

As for Thai women being demure, that's not my experience at all! Maybe some are, but most are DTF.
Ok.... back to OP....
I'm Shaun, a 41-year Aussie living in BK for about 6 weeks but planning to spend perhaps 6 more months here or maybe a lot longer. My Thai girlfriend is into Forex trading and I'm starting to get interested in it. Of course, I need to learn. I would be interested in attending meetups.
The main reason I googled for this topic is because I've heard that trading Fx in Thailand is illegal (Exchange Control Act), but only for Thai people, and would not apply for me as an Aussie trading through an NZ company. I would like some confirmation on that. Judging by the remainder of this thread, I would prefer to avoid legal hassles in the land of smiles and occasional palm-greasing.
Apart from the people, I love Thailand because it's warm, cheap, safe and relaxed, and there's always lots of food and drink, all the time, everywhere. I like the lawlessness. Because of Buddhism and karma 99% of Thais are very reluctant to do anything bad anyway.
By DTF I assume you mean the mathematical acronym Discrete Fourier Transform.
Look you don't want to get caught working in Thailand, period.
As for you getting chaperoned on a date - that is the exception and not the rule. In face, I have never once heard of a Thai girl needing to be chaperoned on a date in 15 years here.
They're girls and I'm a man. They look pretty, I pay. How it works. They take care of **** and I relax. Pretty fair deal I think...
