Another daft comment....

Retard. Nuff said.

Looks like a tourist on a 50 baht hire bike from one of the many guest houses in Ayutthaya. It should be easy to find out where the bike came from and the guy may well be staying at the same place. Hopefully they can track him down and toss him in jail.

Even for Thai cops this guy can be easily found. I reckon a 20,000bht payment to the Temple will sort him out....

I'm curious how they could tell from this video that he stole a 1,000 Baht note? It doesn't seem clear enough to me, or were they going on height of his hand, and if so how can they tell if it was only one note, not two close together?

Maybe they knew how many B1,000s were on the tree.

How desperate does a foreigner have to be to steal money from a Wat. I would be interested to hear his tale of woe and how he got to where he is now and most of all how does he feel?

Lefty 

Poor guy probably was very hungry!!!

What a scumbag but my question is are we sure he is European not rusky

Let's assume he was starving hungry and he had the choice of spending 50 baht on meal or 50 baht on the hire bike. He chose the bike. Again he is famished, down on his luck does he spend 75 baht on a meal or 75 baht on a packet of fags?. He chose the fags. That's how hungry he was.

Who is STUPID enough to risk Thai prison and deportation for 1000 Baht ??????
or
Maybe he put a 2000 Baht note on the tree and wanted 1000 return 

 

Didnt reported it to the police cause 1000 baht is nothing for them. theywill get more anyway

Last farang to steal equivalent of 28 US Dollars from temple got 23 years in Thai prison.

Do not steal from Thai temples. Respect Buddhism and Thailand.

Catch the thief and put him in prison for life.

What kind of an idiot leaves spare case in full view?

it could have been a misinterpretation and he was only making change?

Pretty sad case if the the 40-45 year old man was so broke or desperate.  Broke, jobless, maybe homeless?  I was there once and I straightened things out by a mix of sterling past record, then some discipline and hard work.  I had outs, and I probably needed all of them.  If he was just a lazy bum that didn't want to go back to his home country, well, then an F for planning.

 

  I bet people in the area will recognize the bike if the photos or video get out in the public.

The bike was stolen...

Russia is geographically partly a European country so they could be one and the same.

"CCTV footage at a temple in Ayuthaya showed a Caucasian man aged about 40-45 arrive on a bicycle and stop outside."
 
That CCTV camera is really steady huh?  Seems like they needed the donation to buy mounts for the cameras.  It looks like they are currently using junior monks to hold the camera all the time.

muppet alert
