Next week many mai luang and mai nois will be getting all dolled up in their new fake gear.

These pirated products are worth 49 million baht..

Is that the street value of the pirated copies or the value of what they would be if they were real.

As the RTP are prone to using the figures which make them look better I would presume that the real value of the haul would be worth nowhere near 49 million baht.

Oops! I honestly, honestly misread 'confiscates' as 'confesses to'.

I must have been here too long, expecting what it might be about to say. It wasn't wishful thinking.

A few pairs of fake flip flops and tshirts on the table are worth 49M now? 

Where is the rest of it? Probably everyone filled their cars already... ?

Look for the Custom workers to be selling Louis Vuitton bags out of the back door soon.

Surely the value of fake items is nothing or worthless?

Not 'fake' just cheap copies - they're real enough.

Sorry but damn tired of people who bitch when it seems nothing is done and then bitch again when it would seem they are doing their jobs

Customs will usually give the MSRP of what the genuine goods would go for.
