'The arrest operation was a collaborative effort between Thai police and Interpol in South Korea.' It's more likely that someone managed to fill in an Interpol request & Korean cops did the rest. The Red Bull brat's Interpol form has been delayed so many times, it's almost like some one in RTP is deliberately messing up the process. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzian Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Gold shops are too tempting, and should be shut down; every time a Thai female friend comes close to one they lose their minds. Oh, and I've heard anecdotes that robbers like them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
