I think this is a pi** take aimed at public ally shaming the inadequacies of the Thai police force and the country.

Think about it, what in western countries would have been a simple crime to solve, the crime supposedly is caught on video, but the Thai police don't know what to do with the tape !! as a result no one is caught / the crime is not resolved.

So, all the Spaniard can do is walk out of the police station stunned that the police don't give a s**t - but later comes up with a plan to shame them.

Wonder what the embassy said when he handed over the cent??

Methinks there is more to this than meets the eye.

First you lose money then you are going to throw more away...........

Would someone please explain this all to an old bloke like me.

P.S. Did anyone find a link to the site in question ?

I agree this is very odd. Who carries 20000 so loosely that it can be snatched and by a group of 12? I wonder if it is a case of a fabricated story to raise funds that will go toward that empty pocket?

Yeap, I wonder about that too. This whole story sounds fishy.

The Thai police are already rich. They dont need money from some weirdo Spanniard.

The Thai Police have got to be the biggest bunch of clowns ever to put on a uniform. They really do have no shame what so ever. Are they not getting enough money from people already?

Finally..a farang scam...

1.you draw huge funds while in LOS..

2.arrange a business meeting with BIB.

3.BIB supplies waterproof police report with witnesses.ect

4.you claim from your travel insurance

5.split 50/50 with police

easy $10,000

Everyone has the right to be stupid, although some people over do it.

Somebody is doing something good. The news article doesn't give any reason to think it is based on bad thinking. Why would anybody try to reveal any other motivation?
