OH, JO, WI, UM and KIM

Only KIM was using his real name...rest were abbreviations!!

Um , not sure if it is Oh No or Dr,No or Hey Jo but the one in the yellow shorts needs to put his mask back on to cover up those square bits.

Thailand have been for long time now and more so since the Covid started, a haven for all sorts of scammers, flim-flam, con artists and all other unsavoury criminals and the police can only catch the tip of the iceberg...
