From the Khaopod Smithinan a close friend from the Angel Gang who recently went live with fellow celebrities Hana Tatsanawalai, Vicky Sunisa, and a friend who sells goods. During the session, Hana said she had warned Khaopod with good intentions and advised her to recover the money, but because Khaopod trusted the person, the incident happened.
Hana: I've seen people who were very rich go bankrupt. Everything is risky. I don't want Khaopod to give every baht she has to her child or herself like that. So I kept warning her, saying, "Hey, Khaopod, stop this because it's risky. Go get our money back." I kept warning her after thinking that investing with this person was risk-free.
Khaopod: I thought that way, Hana. You know I thought that way.
Hana: Because you were too confident and trusting. Nothing is ever certain, but I've been through it. I've been advising you for two years straight that there's no guarantee. I warned you again and again until later you stopped telling me because you were afraid I'd scold you. So you stopped sharing with me because you knew I'd definitely scold you.
Khaopod: Because I was afraid of being scolded, my dear friends told me to get my money back. It was strange, and I eventually stopped telling my friends that the money wasn't returned. Then on the crucial day, everyone found out. I called Hana and Vicky first, crying on the phone while driving—I remember that clearly. Hana didn't criticize me.
Hana: When a friend gets hurt, you don't want to make it worse. I only scold gently.
Khaopod: I scold gently. I didn't scold harshly on the day it happened but only when I was calm.
Hana: When there's a problem or conflict, stop and stay calm. Step back and when you're calm, then warn them. When emotions are high, scolding doesn't help. Here's a tip: if you have a friend going through trouble, don't blame or criticize them yet. Give them a chance, let them calm down, and then talk.
Khaopod: Without Hana and Vicky, I would have had a very hard time getting through this. P'Chris and P'Woon are also close friends of mine. These two were among the first I confided in and they suffered with me. I regained my composure but lost the money. I want both peace of mind and money.
She once mentioned to Hana, "Did Allah help?" Hana stressed for months after finding out. It wasn't a loan; it wasn't borrowing money.
Before sharing how to spot scammers to raise awareness among the public,
Khaopod: It's 'Too good to be true.' When friends love each other, they don't check documents or verify anything—they just trust. Most scams are like this. The most alarming sign to watch for is when they say, 'Don't tell this person, don't tell that person.' Be cautious. It might not happen every time, but from my research after being scammed, it's usually like this.
But I must say that facing obstacles doesn't mean we have to destroy other parts of our lives, like family or other friends. There's no need to cry over it. We must be strong and find happiness in other aspects of life. Don't let it ruin everything. It's very hard to think this way. I had to train my mind a lot. If I didn't have religion or God, it would have been difficult. I believe God wants us to learn from these hardships.
