It`s a fair cop,

No doubt some of his new imates will take a shine to his GOLD RING when locked up...

There is no way that that necklace is 130-grams, that converts to around 8.5 Baht in weight (one baht = 15.244 grams).

Looking at that necklace I would guess it to be a 1 Baht chain and worth far less than 100,000 Thai Baht.

If it cost around 100000 baht then it's probably A 5 baht chain .A 1 baht chain is around 20000 bant . 20000X5= 100000

Classy up-market tourism.

The Russian guy is probably currently haggling about the value of the chain with the police.
