Congratulation to the police for doing their job.

Shame he died but don't steel gold.

[Heng]

Instant karma as the locals say.

(not true IMO, but probably comforting to believe)

live by the sword/die by the sword

Another one bites the dust

As the old saying goes; "A thief carries his life in his hands"

[whatchamacallit]

Okay so he stole a 3 baht gold (probably true)..... but do you believe the police's version of event leading to the police killing this young man? Hmmmm....

I'd be interested to know what the girl says at the end of the video.

[Methuselah]

I was most impressed by the name of the soi in Sattahip--SOI SHAMBLES!

I think Pattaya deserves a similarly named soi, or perhaps rename Pattaya--Muang Shambles.

Other possibilities spring to mind,but might well be deemed libellous against local institutions.
