Police in Muang District of Rayong have clear CCTV after a brazen daylight robbery of an employee at a downtown coin-op launderette.

 

Samrong Sindee, 54, the manageress of the Otteri Wash & Dry shop in Nern Phra sub-district, said she was working when a man came in armed with a knife of about five inches in length, reported Daily News.

 

He was about 165 cms tall dressed in a black jacket, jeans with a full face helmet and surgical mask.

He told her to stay calm and hand over her one baht weight gold necklace (worth about 31,700 baht at today's prices).

 

The man escaped on a red motorcycle heading for the beach. A neighbor called the cops for her.

 

Police radioed ahead but the robber had disappeared.

It's nice to own gold but for heaven sakes  don't wear it not these days.

Not a chance robber, he must have know her or seen the necklace.

 

 

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. We westerners are told not to flash the gold but plenty of locals seem happy to do so. 

for about a week I thought of buying like 3-4 baht, like 100k.....investment mainly. 

 

then I thought of all the negatives.    and it was 1 million negatives to like 1/2 positive (price goes up).

 

my watches are only about 15,000 each......maybe a little more.  not sure I'll die over them.  maybe.   don't think things have got that bad.  gold you can easily resell...not a watch outside of the Rolexes of the world.
