Ahead of Songkran holidays, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has invited to shop at a public auction of seized goods to be held at their offices. Goods up for bids range from a Louis Vuitton belt with the starting price of Bt5,000 and other jewellery pieces, to three plots of land with houses.
 

The agency’s asset auction will be held on Wednesday, with jewellery, including the white-coloured Louis Vuitton belt, being offered in the 10am morning session, said AMLO assistant secretary-general Pranee Kaoian on Monday.

 

In the afternoon session starting at 2pm, three properties in Bangkok’s Bang Kholaem district are to be up for bidding. They are: a house on a 240-square-metre plot of land in Soi Bang Uthit with a starting price of Bt500,000; a house on a 120-s.m. plot of land in Soi Wat Chan with a starting price of Bt500,000; and a house on a 120-s.m. plot of land in Soi Wat Chan with a starting price of Bt200,000.

 

Those interested in the houses could check the property’s condition on April 10 from 9.30am to 4pm or visit the agency's website (www.amlo.go.th) for more information, Pranee said.

Any Richard Mille's, Rolex's or Cartier's up for auction by any chance?

 

 

Is that a genuine two days advance notice?

 

 

Theirs not many countries in the world where you can be sure that the "sale" of seized goods by the "anti-corruption mob" will itself be corrupt event!

So, the highlight of this corruption purge auction is a Louis Vuitton belt and some houses on a couple of hundred sqm of land?

Looks like a 2 day notice of auction, what can be concluded from that i wonder.

Can there actually be anything left for commoners?

Possibly, due to be in an auction after next February, but don't hold your breath.

Hm, I heard about it- sometimes one fraud leads to another.

200,000 baht for a house and land, is that not a great deal?
