I was chatting to a lady the other day who had just returned from BKK and Phuket with her father. Her father's debit card had been used and thousands of dollars taken in dribs and drabs. He's notified the bank and had to sign a 'stat dec' to say he hadn't removed the money. They are all very upset about it and it has marred their holiday.
I'll update this post when I find out the outcome. Hopefully, he'll get his money back.
