Hope they catch the culprit(s).

while Mr. Kai will be further questioned over the course of investigations due to his apparent agitation during initial interrogations

Police interrogated Mr. Kai, supposedly in the house at the time of the robbery, who stated that he had been watching television throughout the night and had not seen or heard anything

). No sign of a forced entry to the house was evident, officers suspecting the unlocked front door as the offenders point of entry and exit.

Hmmm,shall I make a wild guess about who is involved?

Hard to believe Mr Kai didn't hear anything. And wonder what the "guard dog" was doing.

Substantial amounts of cash and jewelry to keep in a house, especially with domestic staff remaining on the premises while the owners are out

I hope no one suspects Mr. Kai, as he was probably enjoying himself with the Thai soap. To bad the dog was tied up, for what reason?

That's a pretty junky looking apartment to have a 790,000B jewelry set there. Heck, you'd be crazy to wear that at pretty much any time in Pattaya!

Poor Mr. Kai. - Such an innocent person, but will have a hard time making people believe him. As a handyman of the house, his fingerprints will of course be all over the place. He probably also installed the safe.

Hmmmm, Junky apartment? I couldnt really tell, but that doesnt mean he didnt have that much jewelry or money there.

Well, I guess I was comparing it to the expensive jewelry they "had". That's a really expensive piece. Costs more than my brand new Honda!!!

Always amazes me how rough some people live in Pattaya...and this was an old couple sharing that dump...the B 1M is probably all they got in the world. Oh well, it's back to Tulip-land and those generous European welfare bennies
