Thai woman got lucky with gambling win - but when she claims, the cops came calling

[mikebell]

Thai cops have a nose for money and will come calling at the merest whiff - it beats cutting down road fatalities.

Did I miss something , isn't online gambling illegal in Thailand ?

Yes, it is, that could be why she was open to extortion.   Reporting them would be revenge.

Well I am shocked and appalled that the RTP with such a gleaming reputation of honesty and up holding the law without any bias to themselves could be accused of such a thing. I mean cases like this of the police extorting anything in any form are just unheard of right!

So, so original.   Where was it confirmed that they were RTP officers?

Well I can assure you that for the 16 years full time that I lived in Thailand  plus the times I go 'back home' and the dealings with the RTP, that not only their reputation but also through their countless actions. They are often service to their own needs and hardly quality public servants. Not all but enough to tarnish them

 

So where was it not confirmed that they were not RTP. But you obviously no better and seem to be defending the situation.

Have a read of this thread and ask how do you know its the Police. as i have mentioned the RTP have a history of having dubious dealings and looking after themselves.

Not to condone being held-up and I'm sorry she had to go through that. But still............ 

 

If she had "won" 1.6 million baht instead of 2 million, d'ya think she'd have been unhappy about it? 

 

Again, lousy that she got robbed. But what was taken was basically "free money," anyway! 555

 

Really struggling here between, "Man, that's a shame"......... and......... "Yeah, so?" 

 

(Seems my compassion has limits I haven't really explored, yet!) 

 

555

 

Cheers!

No need to read it now, that was published the day after you made your allegation and the day after I asked the question!   You had no idea of that development at the time of your post.

How exactly does anybody extort lots of money from an 11 year old child?

Well as part of the family that money is her's either now or in the future when she inherits the gains off that investment.
