webfact Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 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. Source: TNA -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2018-06-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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........................

johncat1 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just search on youtube in english or Thai "แปลงปืน bb เป็นปืนจริง". Buy me one please. Quote 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… Quote 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.
