1 mil is not a lot these days for a bank to carry,surprised it wasnt more, but this is not going to be the first or last with current restrictions, people out of work, shortage of food for some, its going to lead to desperate measures by some.

And make the escape riding down the wrong side of the road.

Let me guess here, they were wearing face masks and gloves right? so they look pretty normal to anyone else in the bank, frankly i'm astounded as to why no more robberies has occurred now that anyone can wear a mask and gloves and no one will suspect a thing......

First time in civilisation that people have been asked to put a mask on to enter a bank

Can we assume the robbers are part of the same household. otherwise there will be social distancing charges on top ????

At least they had the guts to do it ala Butch Cassidy, not like these disgusting creeps who sit in grungy rooms in front of their computers happily risk free while they siphon millions out of people,s bank accounts.

First time i walked in a bank in BKK i was shocked to see so many money ready for grabs. Only some cameras and 1 security guard for half a square meter of 1000 baht bundels.

I wasn't talking about bank robbers but the normal Thai motorbike riders. I personally have never seen any bank robbers. Have you?
