webfact Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Video: British tourist proves no match for Thai police after damaging two ATMs Thai caption: Hot head farang bashing an ATM A British tourist was arrested in Koh Samui yesterday after damaging two ATMs at the beach in Ao Nang, Krabi, on Monday. Nathaniel T., 30, said the machines wouldn't give him any money. Picture: 77kaoded Police in Ao Nang received complaints from the bank about the damage and soon had an arrest warrant issued by the court. The tourist was traced to Koh Samui where immigration paid him a visit at his hotel in Chaweng. 77kaoded He admitted it was him, saying he was cross when no money was forthcoming. He then continued on his holiday from Krabi to Surat Thani. A video showed him repeatedly punching one of the machines before walking off in a huff. 77kaoded called him "angrit sut saep" in their headline - a nasty British piece of work. They did not explain exactly how the police managed to get an arrest warrant in the name of the suspect. He is being taken back to Krabi to face the music. 77kaoded Source: 77kaoded -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-11-28 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh not to mention your home bank fees....!!!! I geel the guys pain! Agreed. Then again I'm living back in the UK now. All of the places that exchange money quote 35/45 (+ commission) as their rates buy/sell, rather different to the 38/39 that one would see in Thailand. I'll keep my 8'ish '000 Baht in my bag until I next visit the LOS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Well i can understand him well, Thai atm's don't work many times and also not when trying to get cash on your creditcard. And that 220 baht surcharge is also pure theft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they wouldn't would they, but it's not too difficult to work out. All ATM transactions are logged whether they issue money or not. So a quick consultation with the bank's database and it's gotcha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. She said 'foreigner' or European'. It can be used in both contexts apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Some of the comments are as pathetic as the conduct of the suspect. I can only guess that alcohol, drugs or mental illness are contributing factors in both camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybuz Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 How much damage could he do by punching or kicking it ,they drive end loaders and forklifts into them and still get nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot123 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I do feel for the guy and the grief he is getting on here. On holiday forgetting your in a 3rd world country with 3rd world banking. Expecting same service he gets back in the UK was his first mistake. Frustration and maybe desperation resulted in him losing his temper "let he who hath not sinned cast the first stone". How much physical damage can you do to an atm by kicking or hitting it? Not much I would think. Its not as if he took a brick or hammer to it. Learn from your mistake and remember when you book your next holiday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 “They did not explain exactly how the police managed to get an arrest warrant in the name of the suspect. “ Not rocket science, ATM card account has suspect’s name, quick check of TM30 database which hotel will have recorded him on, off the BiB go and nab him.
