No mention of the cash used to obtain the gambling chips (pieces of plastic) said to be worth 2+ million baht... And a raid on a private villa <deleted>. Posting of FaceBook. Dumb or what?

Luxury Villa Rassada seems an oxymoron.

Some cops tend to be very resentful that they are not getting part of the action. 

 

And imagine posting something on FB, about a gambling den? Where are the basic survival instincts? Where is the common sense? Many things in life are better left unshared.
