Two Britons Nabbed For ATM Thefts In Chon Buri

[rakman]

LOL... only in thailand.

No, it happens in the US too.. Maybe we'll see these guys on the "Dumbest Criminals" tv show..

[SunsetT]

That's some funny ass sh*t.

You think it's funny, huh ?

Take a step back dude !

I wonder why you picked on 'Dararasmi', when so many other posters find this funny. Its called 'black humour', which I guess some SOUTHERN men still cannot appreciate.

[Atoosa07]

GOOD NEWS ALWAYS COME FROM PATTAYA WHY??????????

[colinscarr]

Please don't ask me to add up this pair's IQs. I might have to take my shoes off if we hit double figures.

[Soutpeel]

Superb factual reporting from Pattaya One....in the movie fast five believe they nicked a SAFE by this method not ATM's and it certainly wasnt a Toyota Corolla and a tow rope....

[michael888]

hahahahahahaha,,,,,

Have fun in the "spa" of the Bangkok Hilton, guys! ;-)

Most foreigners in Thailand that are either visiting or living are losers and typically brainless. Hard to find a normal person to hang out with unless arms full of tattoos and the topic of discussion for the day is football and hookers.

Hmm let's see. I don't have tattoos, I earn over 100k (USD) a year, rarely discuss/watch sports at all and most of my friends are local Thai business owners.

Oddly enough, of the (albeit few) foreigners that I do know and associate with, none of them fit the description of "losers" or "typically brainless" either. Guess we must hang out in the wrongs places with the wrong people.

Well said KeeryD.

As for Commande. This is a no-brainer (so right down your alley) If you would get your beer soaked a$$ off Soi Cowboy, you might discover a strong community of Foreigners with great jobs, solid personal relationships and a positive outlook on life. You see, to meet people covered in tattoos, one needs to be where they are. Think about it (but do not attempt it while walking or chewing gum ... might go into overload by exceeding processing capacity )

I guess you guys didn't read the first word in my sentence which states "Most" and doesn't say ALL... To each there own, I always knew I would get some sort of response but I didn't think that it would be from the self proclaimed "good people" living in Thailand. As for your money, congratulations it's great you have an income although I have to say that it's less than half mine but really, does it matter? I don't think so...

Welcome to the BANGKOK HILTON boys.

STUPID YOUNG MEN.

The suspects explained that they fastened a tow sling around the ATM attached to the vehicle's bumper and then drove the car at high speed in order to pull the machine out of the bank's wall.

Now there's a plot line for "Ocean's 14" if I ever heard one.

[trainman34014]

Worlds dumbest criminals.

You can not pull out the machine from the bank.

These kind of robberies are very frequent in the West(Oz especially) but you have to have a truck and only free standing machines, like the ones at service stations.

Several gangs in the UK have been very successful using JCB's to rip machines out of Supermarket walls and load them onto a Truck, whereupon they take them out in the sticks and use cutting gear to open them. No tracking devices fitted to many machines as that's an ongoing process. The Supermarkets are getting tired of losing half of their frontage to this kind of damage and are having large obstructions fitted into the ground outside many locations. However; the crooks simply use the JCB to rip them out of the ground first causing further damage ! These jobs are normally done in the small hours, and if you can find a Copper in Blighty in the small hours these days you've made a very rare find !

[Lifer]

If guilty, off with their heads. No wonder foreigners are getting a bad rep here in Thailand.

[maidu]

Blame it on growing up drinking cow's milk and listening to Michael Jackson.

I fully agree, Thai immigration should make visa's harder to get, increase the monetary requirements required every year etc, got to keep the undesirables out of Thailand

[SouthernMan3]

That's some funny ass sh*t.

You think it's funny, huh ?

Take a step back dude !

I wonder why you picked on 'Dararasmi', when so many other posters find this funny. Its called 'black humour', which I guess some SOUTHERN men still cannot appreciate.

Yea, I guess not......

My ideal solution ( from a strictly personal perspective of course) for me to sit in immi and just say "yes" or "no" to the officer in charge as the applicants file past me based on a completely arbitrary system that only I know. The only reason I'd give would be " I don't like the look of him"

[PoolHustler]

Wonder where these pair of genius' come from in the UK ?.....one hopes they are not Scouser's as in addtion to serving their time in Thailand will never be able to go home to Liverpool as would be an embarrassment to all Scouser's cos they got caught..

I know one of them (Alex) is from Essex

To be clear.

I am not 'picking on' any one.

If it seems that way I apologize.

Not my intention.

It is just the post that I happened to see and respond to.

It just bums me out.

Really bums me out.

Totally bums me out.

These falang giving us a bad rap.

I've been here so long.

The Thais used to like us.

No they just think, falang ben key.

Cow jai mai kap ?

Same, Same. For sure they will never set foot in LOS again, oooooooooooooooooooop's perhaps they will.

[Phatcharanan]

so many falangs of low intelligence come to Thailand , and the Brits well what can we say. S-T-U-P-I-D

Pretty much the same as the Tea Party and those other losers..................., republicans.

Well that's reason enough to take him out the back and shoot him. Who needs a trial?

[SouthernMan3]

Brilliant!!!!.............I mean seriously, how desperate can you get

I get it.

This is 'black humor', no ?

I guess pretty desperate after you drink and <snip> all your $ away.......

[ginjag]

SOUTPEEL You are thinking that having a lot of money cuts out the undesireables??? Raising the amount we pay making it harder to get visa's. Hey come on. To my mind if you buy a property for your partner and own your own condo, staying here spending most of your money this should justify getting a visa for 1 year-WITHOUT visa runs/reporting.

How you eliminate undesireables is to deport anyone not conforming to the law.

Secondly to refuse entry to persons with undesireable home police records.

Why penalise good people here that are managing well, despite money values dropping, A vast percentage of people here are an asset to the Kingdom.

[SouthernMan3]

The Thais have been roping, tying, and yanking falang "ATMs" for years. Turnabout is fair play.

How about this, Thais go to falang land and turnabout there.......

[bdenner]

If nothing else it gives Thailand some breathing space in the tourism debacle created by recent events.
