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?

Amazing idiots, break the laws of the land and put it on Facebook why don't you berks...

I'm driving from Laos to BKK with 10 tonnes of yaaabaaaa and I haven't been caught.  I want some Facebook likes, this is super exciting...  .....

 

Wow, just got my first like......   

 

Hey, what are those red lights coming at me?      

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.
