faraday Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 1 hour ago, teav said: question , why live in Thailand. most women are thieves and most families are blood suckers. the baht is through the roof, ie cost of living up. but still all you expats whinge but do little about it. so if you get robbed or murdered basically it,s your own fault. as they say in the classics, you dug the hole for yourself, now jump in it.losers. Do you have a carer, or responsible adult ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSky Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 With the cash and gold they could have been organising a Buddhist wedding ceremony although all that money on show is s stupid idea. better to be wealthy and look poor than the other way around. sorry to these guys who were robbed I hope the police catch the thieves I’m sure they will if a reward is involved. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin Norway Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Im sure the `onkel` or `brother` is a happy man now. Stories like this is how smart people learn and stupid people stil do the same thing over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had kasikorn Thai and siam commercial bank in Chiang Dao. They have closed them indeed! The nearest siam commercial bank now is 75km to the north. The nearest kasikorn Thai bank is 45km to the north. And yes, both branches in Mae taeng have also been closed. So your comment may indeed not be so far off......

Derek B Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Some one close anyway put the thief up to it. Personally I would tell the wife/partner I am off and see what happens. He should leave the village and leave it to the elders to sort out and the mystery will be resolved with the passport & plastic being found in a field by someone wanting a reward. In addition someone will get drunk & be seen to have money all of a sudden perhaps a new M/C too and the appropriate face saving actions will come about. A safe should be his next purchase or a ticket home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0815 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 How stupid must one be to leave so much money and gold in a bag and then stays at another house until 2am ? I smell a fishy story. Was it 80.000 ? He would still be dumb like hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PingRoundTheWorld Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 100% inside job. But why the hell would you keep that kind of money cash anyway?? In Isaan of all places?? Plus- isn't it illegal to bring that kind of money and gold into Thailand without declaring it? Unless he actually did he might be in for some more trouble soon....
