what a hoot this is.  Criminal mastermind running a  motorcycle rental business with 5 bikes

I assume some were already  rented out I think his real crime was taking work from local mafia. Or this 1 million baht we would never have heard about him or this story. Police are not too good at solving crime in that area

That's an expensive rental rate.  I typically pay 2,000 baht per month!

I was thinking the same

Oh my God! Those criminal Russians are hitting the news headlines in Thailand almost daily!

 

Enough is enough.

 

Visa rules must be tightened!

 

 

[ronster]

Why did he not use the one million to legally set up a company with employees or just buy himself an elite visa to stay for years hassle free .

What's staggering about that? They have been overstaying in Crimea for over ten years.

Untrue. They own The Crimea Peninsular. Ukraine was one of the founding member states of the old USSR. But Crimea Peninsular was not included in the talks when Independance was granted in 1991. The Russian Navy is based there. It remained Russian and the people in the region consider themselves to be Russian.

He must of upset someone as the saying goes keep your friends close and your enemies even closer  good to know that the bribe was turned down that’s good news for the island 

[ryandb]

I do not believe 1m was offered and turned down at all (def not the 2nd part), if they had that either Elite visa or a legit company could have been set up

Refusing a million baht doesn't necessarily mean that it was never taken if you get my drift!

They now know what he can easily produce within 20 minutes

Safe to assume one of the locals was upset that he/she could not compete with a guy renting 5 bikes. So pathetic , though no idea why he let his visa run out if he had a spare million
