Just the other day i had people intentionally lighting fires behind our house in the hopes of causing damage but i had to pay 2000thb because my dog "might" have bit one of the guys even when it just looked like a pimple on the guys ass. just had some weirdo probably a drug addict throwing rocks at my german shephards while there in my property but apparently its ok. Maybe hes learnt that he can get money from us thanks to police laziness, racism and corruption. wonder what would happen if i went and threw rocks at the neighbours dogs. id be deported probably. This country is screwed up. Totally agree. After 9 years in Thailand I am leaving. The last straw was last week when I went to my local Farang-joint. A wealthy Thai businessman who for some strange reason frequents the place (I think the main reason he comes is it's on his way home from work, and his marriage seems to be a lost cause) was sitting alone. I sat down with him. He was drunk. He immediately started attacking me. - Do you pay tax to Thailand!??! - Dont say anything bad about Thailand!! - Farang women get very ugly and fat when they get old. Then he continued with this: - Why do Farangs come to Thailand!? - Farangs only come to Thailand because alcohol is cheap and to buy prostitutes. All in a very abusive way. He seemed to be very angry. You get the drift.... Needless to say he loves you know who (all of them) F... this shit. I'll send you guys a postcard from my new home.

Megasin1 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I don't think that this was a theft, more of an attempt to remove any item that could possibly capture in picture form something nobody really wants to see. Its just a pity that the CCTV camera didn't get pinched too, although this was probably it's last act before it joined all the others in the CCTV graveyard. We should actually spare a moment to think about the poor CCTV camera and how brave it was, alas poor CCTV camera I knew him not at all.....

Penicillin Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 15 hours ago, Kerryd said: Odd that they don't show the footage of the woman (or whoever) actually taking the camera. All I could see was that she had something in her hand when the footage started and she put it into her fanny pouch that she had around her neck/shoulder. A 2,000 baht Polaroid camera ? Having a quick look on Lazada and PowerBuy - not a lot of Polaroids for 2,000 (or less).3 in PowerBuy. 4 on MyBestBuy and Lazada - they can't get their **** together if it was handed to them in vacumm-sealed packages. Search for "Polaroid Instant Camera" and get 5,054 hits. Tell the list (of 5,054 hits) to sort by Lowest to Highest and the total drops to 2,716 items. Set maximum price limit to 2,200 baht and get 798 hits. Scroll through 10 of 20 pages of items, not one single "Instant Camera" but lots of water kettles, photo albums, mini-camera and "endoscope" camera attachments for telephones.

mikebell Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So in consecutive stories we get an honest THAI cabbie returning money followed by a dishonest FARANG thief. I don't know why immigration lets them off the plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyhk Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This footage shows sweet FA. If she picked up a camera and took it show the footage. cut out all the opinionated self serving dramatic scenes of police stations and recreations of the crime and all you have left is film of a girl with what may have been a camera already on her lap. She then shuffles other bits and pieces around and puts it in her bag. It doesn't show her taking it from anywhere. Min amazed they didn't bring in the SWAT team with sniffer dogs to hunt down this international crime gang. The footage just shows a woman sorting her stuff out before she leaves.

Kerryd Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Wow - 6 pages already. Why don't they show the CCTV footage of the camera owner leaving the shop and forgetting the camera on the table ? Most girls I know wouldn't leave a 5 baht coin on the table if I got up before them, let alone a camera (but it happens I suppose). I'm almost wondering if one of the staff maybe had their eyes on the camera and got P.O.'d when the foreign woman beat them to it. Surely they'd have noticed the camera sitting at an empty table for 1 1/2 hours. 2 hours ago, Penicillin said: You have a lot of time on your hands. ? I do ! One of the perks of being retired !

It’ll never change here no matter what unfortunately. More like huge difference there for the police because the skimmer had 300,000 baht while this one has a camera, it is clear which one has the best chance of making a getaway.

I used a dodgy atm machine back in 2009ish and the first card didn't work so I tried another and it worked Both cards were skimmed or cloned and lost about £5-6k from both and Thai police said talk to your bank The banks tried to blame me and say that it was impossible unless I Told someone my pin (didn't 1000%) My case didn't get near as much attention as this Polaroid... ????
