Desperate times call for desperate measures.

This is what you get when your government abandons it's citizens during a pandemic with no furlough scheme in place.

 

Expect much more of this kind of thing to come.

makes sense.  It's a place with no cameras.   very little traffic.   bad lighting.   and they don't put the big bills in a safe under the cash register.......

 

dude would be better off emailing all TVF posters with an email, "send me 10000000 baht i get you very pretty woman you hansum man i agent u ok ok you ok?"

However…the 7/11 has said that even if the thief is caught they will not press charges…as he wore a mask, practiced proper social  distancing...and was the only customer they’ve had in nearly three days.

I think he'd get more money pretending to be a rich and handsome English businessman with something stuck in customs and needs the help of a thai lady that he will marry later
