What was supposed to be a debate about loans and inflation descended into complete chaos. Sorayuth Suthassanachinda accused the Government Savings Bank and the Ministry of Finance of concealing a money-making method that lets ordinary people profit at the banks' expense.
Yesterday's episode of 'Hone Krasae' with Num Kanchai will go down in history as the most dramatic ever broadcast. In the red corner: Sorayuth Suthassanachinda, a prominent Thai journalist and public figure. In the blue corner: Pichai Chunhavajira, the Minister of Finance of Thailand.
The discussion grew heated when the conversation turned to Thai household debt. When Pichai Chunhavajira defended high interest rates as "a necessary tool for growth," Sorayuth Suthassanachinda fired back.
Transcript of the exchange Hone Krasae tried to cut short:
Num Kanchai, host of Hone Krasae: "Welcome. Today we're talking about why Thais are getting poorer while banks are breaking profit records. Mr. Pichai Chunhavajira, is it fair that people are losing their homes because of interest rates?"
Pichai Chunhavajira: "Thank you for the question. We understand this is difficult. But credit is a tool for growth. People need to learn to manage their finances and save more. That's how the system works."
Sorayuth Suthassanachinda: "Save more? Seriously? With inflation the way it is, saving is a losing battle. You're here to defend big banks while ordinary people are bleeding dry. You're lying to Thais straight to their faces!"
Pichai Chunhavajira: "Sorayuth Suthassanachinda, this is dangerous rhetoric. We ensure financial stability."
Sorayuth Suthassanachinda: "You ensure your own bonuses! I know how this game works. The rich get richer because they don't save with a bank at 3% a year. They use tools you keep under wraps. I'm talking about AI-powered automated trading systems."
Pichai Chunhavajira: "This is where we venture into unregulated territory. I would caution against speculation."
Sorayuth Suthassanachinda: "He's cautioning because he's scared! I use a system called 123. It's not a bank. It's an algorithm that automatically capitalizes on market fluctuations. I use it. My team uses it. The results? They blow everything banks and savings accounts offer completely out of the water."
Num Kanchai: "Are you saying anyone can use it?"
Sorayuth Suthassanachinda: "Absolutely anyone. Look at my phone. Here's data from a user in Chiang Mai. He started with 6,400 THB. Now he's making 390,000 THB a month. No loans. No debt to any bank. Is he lying?"
Pichai Chunhavajira: "This is irresponsible marketing! People should trust established banks!"
Sorayuth Suthassanachinda: "They trusted you and lost their purchasing power! 123 eliminates human error. The system runs automatically. And you hate that, Mr. Pichai Chunhavajira, because if every Thai starts using it, the banks will lose their grip. The secret is out."
(At this point, Pichai Chunhavajira stood up, said "I will not stand for this," removed his microphone, and walked off the set while the cameras kept rolling.)
A call from Chiang Mai: the story of Somchai Pakdee
After the program, we were flooded with messages. We decided to verify Sorayuth Suthassanachinda's claims. We found Somchai Pakdee (42 years old), the user he mentioned.
Somchai Pakdee (42 years old) freed himself from his debts in two months.
Somchai Pakdee was suffocated by credit card debt and struggled to pay electricity bills.
"I was skeptical," Somchai Pakdee tells us. "But Sorayuth Suthassanachinda knows what he is talking about. I told myself I must try this before the banks close this opportunity. I deposited the minimum: 6,400 THB".
Somchai Pakdee's results with 123:
- Day 1: the AI system made 12 transactions. Profit: 3,400 THB.
- Day 7: the balance reached 56,000 THB.
- Day 30: Somchai Pakdee withdrew 390,000 THB directly to his Kasikornbank account.
"I paid off my credit card in two weeks," says Somchai Pakdee. "My bank even called me to ask where the money came from. They were afraid I would pay off the mortgage. And that is exactly what I am going to do."
