Thai woman gambled away all the foreigner's money - so she went armed to get more before he came back!

 

Pictures (2): TNA

 

A north-eastern Thai woman who was sent 200,000 baht by her foreign husband gambled it all away on an online lottery.

 

He was due to come back next month and would doubtless be asking where his money had gone.

 

So she decided to guy a gun online and rob a gold shop on Monday.

 

 

Incredibly, she picked up her four year old child from kindergarten and drove the family car to the gold shop in the Nong Han area of Udon Thani in disguise.

 

She then pulled the gun on an employee at the Theeraphan 4 store and stole five baht weight of gold worth about 100,000 baht.

 

She then drove home to her address in Phen district with her daughter. Her husband is away working in Israel.

 

Police using CCTV were soon on her trail and an arrest warrant was obtained before police went to her house and found some of the gold and the adapted BB gun, capable of firing real bullets, and 34,000 baht in cash from the sale of one bit of jewelry.

 

She was identified as the woman due to permanent eyebrow tattoos she had. This was despite the fact that she had hair extensions in an attempt to conceal her identity.

 

CCTV footage had caught all the action in the gold shop showing that she had short hair.

 

Wasana, 23, has admitted her crime. She told Nong Han police that she had blown all the 200,000 baht her husband had sent her. So she decided to rob the shop before he came back next month.

 

At the shop as she cased the joint she said she was shocked when a cop walked in. But she maintained her cool and waited for him to leave before she asked about some gold jewelry and pulled the gun that she bought online for 9,000 baht along with ammunition.

 

She made her getaway along with her four year old daughter who was waiting in the family car outside.

 

It was earlier reported that the car did not have plates.

 

Then she went to a hairdressers to have hair extensions done to change her appearance. But she was confirmed as the robber when the owner of the gold shop remembered her permanent eyebrow tattoos that showed over the surgical mask that she was wearing.

 

A TV presenter said that her husband was a foreigner working in Israel.

 

Nong Han police warned of the evils of gambling and issued a warning to just enjoy the World Cup without betting on it.

 

The TV show stressed that the gambling in this case was not connected to football.

You couldnt make this up, taking a 4 year old on a robbery.

You stay there dear play with your doll, mummies just off to rob a gold shop.?

[darksidedog]

Seriously stupid woman. 200,000 baht would have kept her OK for a goodly while, with more to come in time no doubt, but her greed for more has just destroyed everything.

The husband was away, so maybe she had no one else to drive the getaway car.

Quite a few years ago my ex. wife's sister decided that it would be a good idea to break in to my house via a window in one of my son's bedroom (it's a bungalow) which is located on the back of the house, about 2m from the back door neighbour's wall which is about 8 foot high, she had her 15 month old daughter with her, so perched her on top of the wall, whilst she proceeded to smash the window, unfortunately for her the maid was there and apprehended her, meanwhile said daughter was still perched on the wall, crying her eyes out and it was chucking it down with rain, the depths that some people will stoop too are truly amazing, in this case it was to fund a bit of yaa baa........................

Finally the entertainment post of the day ?

[marko kok prong]

many of the petty criminals here have the iq of a snail,Rob somewhere and take the loot home.

[johncat1]

To send 200,000 Baht to a Thai woman is like letting a kid lose in a sweet shop and telling them not to eat any sweets

 

I hope her husband dumps her before she bankrupts him or even worse   ( him accidentally free falling from a condo comes to mind )

[johncat1]

She bought a gun and ammunition  for 9,000 Baht online ?  WHY ?  She could have bought a realistic toy gun for a few hundred Baht... 

And this weeks Darwin award goes to Wasana.......... Well done !!

Also I bet the proceeds from the robbery were for her to continue to gamble not repay her husband

But one consolation she will be going to prison for a very long time so it will be easy for him to divorce her

So where does it state the husband  was Thai ? The story as written here stated he was a  foreigner working in  Israel 

Hence my deletion of the response immediately after posting. You are too quick.

 

Edit. Bugger, i see it didnt save correctly. Deleted now. My bad.

Surely the Israeli will pay the bail money for her?

Don't generalize.

Over the years, I've sent plenty more than that to my wife. All accounted for. All items requested to purchase, were purchased. Inc land deals in excess of 1 mil TB.

So again, pointless to generalize.

[Briggsy]

I wouldn't be surprised if the online lottery excuse is only part of the story.

 

Drugs and a druggie local boyfriend with no job are probably the rest of the story.

Greed and stupidity certainly played a role, but this woman, like many Thais suffers from a serious gambling addiction:I have observed it over  and  over again, their passion(addiction)for gambling:They can't stop until all their money is gone, and then they start borrowing.

I absolutely love the use of the calculator at 1:46!

Well how does any man, or woman, ever get tangled with a partner who has this much lack of brains?

Many Thais have no self-control over anything. And that is why, alone among SE nations, gambling is banned to protect them from themselves. Doesn't work of course, but perhaps limits the opportunities a little.

Nope, unfortunately she has a young daughter, thus eliminating her from consideration. Plus, she's still alive to tell the tale.

"The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions."

How strange you should say that.

 

I used to send my Thai wife about 150,000 a month when I was working and that wa 10 years ago.

 

She didn't gamble it away but used it wisely buying land and building her business. We have been married 18 years this year.

 

Perhaps, to quote many a TVF poster " My wife is different".

I was a former Registered Firearms Dealer in the UK. I’ve handled and sold almost every make and model of firearm, shotgun, pistol and air weapon.

In my experience, there is only one bb or pellet gun that can safely be adapted to fire a live round. For safety reasons, I will not tell you what it is, nor will I tell you if its a pistol or long gun.

All others, no chance. None. You would have to modify almost every part to get it to accept and fire live cartridges, and if you’ve got the knowledge to do that, you can probably get hold of “real” firearms anyway…

Two words “chamber pressure.”

Doing some hand waving here and let’s say you have the rest of the components (trigger group, firing pin, etc) all worked out. Most barrels of BB and pellet guns I’ve seen are made of very thin metal. They’d blow up in your face if you fired a real (say 22 caliber) ammunition though them.
