how did he get past customs with 10 million baht cash ?

With a home here and living here the money is generated here too.... the question is why is 10M in a safe at home and not in the bank or declared for tax purposes.

Sneaky Chinese activities going on.

So how does he prove he had 10 billion baht? er 10 million?  Receipt from immigration? From his bank?  Surely he didn't make it while in Thailand by ripping off fellow Chinese. That's illegal.

As you well know, as a result of many threads on Thaivisa relating to falangs doing the same thing, not everyone with a tourist visa is actually a tourist.

And with 10M readies in the safe not all businessmen are straight.

Very suspicious, indeed.

Hey, at least we know the police will actually work hard to find the money!

Looks like criminals be robbed by criminals...This is the kind of premium "Tourist" Thailand still invite...

For once I'm glad I live in a dump infested with yapping dogs and good honest, working class Thai people. 

One of my first places in Thailand was a place like that, where I stayed with my soon to be wife. An esteemed TVF poster in his grand wisdom commented that such places are only occupied by bar girls and their families, and surely that's who I was living with. I had to educate him that even in this lower rung of society, where I'd much rather spend time than with any hi-sos, there are a great deal more professions that that.

The maid will be the first suspect,inside job!

Why would a Chinese "tourist" be bringing 10 million baht to Pattaya? The mind boggles!

Obviously to help all the out of work receptionists.

I seem to remember not long ago a Thai politican who was robbed of a few 100 million Baht he kept in his cellar. Just normal practice in 3rd world countries i suppose.

This has nothing to do with the ex-Transport Minister who was jailed for that, this is about a group of Chinese "visitors".  Similar situations occur in non-3rd world countries, a description that does not apply to Thailand.
