Do we expect update where Chinese is arrested for not being able to demonstrate the source of income?

 

In Thailand you never know...

Thanks for the names. I'll be avoiding them! ????????

"The masterminds believed the Chinese victim who had a Thai wife kept 200-400 million baht in their dwelling."

 

Only if you are a government MP.

Or a Chief of Police!

Looking at that lot, I'll assume !the Chinese person either wore it continually in the Thais faces or there's a leak at the gold shop

700,000 baht in cash

Why would you have that much under your bed?

That does not look like anywhere near 1,000,000 baht of jewelry. 

And I assume the 700,000 baht cash was somehow lost during chases of the criminals?

All of their names clearly listed in order to simplify the future contracts on each of  their lives for robbing the Chinese Mafia.

I'm sure they are also being investigated as to the source of their wealth.

If that is all the gold then I would doubt it is worth 1 million Baht
