Two Britons Nabbed For ATM Thefts In Chon Buri

[chinook]

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.

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 ?

is that a song?

[phl]

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

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

I do not know if i fully agree on monetary requirements, but i also think immigration should change their system to a much tougher position, but not only in regards to visa's but also being reasonable when it comes to WP, Perm residency and citizenship.

[phl]

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.......

you saying they do not?

People are people everywhere, who cares where they come from and what country they do it in.

[Kilgore Trout]

<deleted>' dumb ass falangs.

Thanks for giving us other falangs such a good status here in our home the LOS.

Every day the Thais realize that falang are not what they used to think we are (good, smart, etc...) because of dumb sots like these.

Please, go pull your antics somewhere other than my home.

Why don't YOU stop lumping all westerners together; the Thais in their ignorance may think we are all from one place but in this case; strictly Britian's finest at work

[pointoffew]

Lesson to be learned ....

Do not believe everything you see in the movies.

24 and 34 and lived in Pattaya for 10 years.

Guess they are unimployed, because they never heard of the word work.

So sick of these types....no job, no money, gtfo here....these falang kee nok do not help the rest of us that are planting down roots here

I belong to that "rest of us" - or so I wish to believe - but I haven't been planting any roots, just been sowing seeds.

whatever ever gave you that impression? the impression that locals think or use to think that foreigners are good or smart?

If they ever thought foreigners were smart they would have listened or asked for advice from foreigners, do not you think?!

[pattaya_girl]

It's one thing committing a crime in your own Country, but to try this in a Foreign Country, what silly Men they are !!!

Its idiots like this that give Farang a bad name, and its not fair for us good one's.

I think they will end up in Nongpalai Jail in Banglamung, i thought Bangkok Jail was for Murderers.

Whatever anyway, they really need to stop watching Movies !

[redroo]

Oh, so they had stashed the money somewhere,

and when the bib came to collect there share,

it was too much and toled them it was empty.

if the first one didn't open then why try a second and third time.

plus on the pic it shows its guts wide open.

So no money and were arested !!

[watcharacters]

ahahaha.....That is a good one, what a bunch of idiots - i bet those ATM's are equipped with some sort of tracing device as well - as something like that only cost af few bucks in good old China.

Btw...good on them, that they found good rigging gear here. I met a Danish guy working for a Danish company, producing industrial grade wires/repeaters. He was stuck in Phuket for a week - as the Thais he was working with, could not find any high grade rigging gear on the island, so it had to be sent from Bangkok :-)

I suspect it was the nylon rope equipped with the tracing device. 555

Whichever nick they end up in, pretty sure their Thai will be pretty good when they get out...

[ronz28]

They look sharp enough to have been banksters rather than robbers. They would have made more money on the other side of the fence and been rewarded with bonuses for their ill gotten gains.

[Chivas]

What a pair of knobbers......

Had to be Brits as well....!!

a pair of 24k plonkers m'lud....Relatives of Baldrick perhaps ?

[chinook]

Not the brightest, but have to admire their bravado and persistence, unlike the creeps in the boiler rooms whom I totally and utterly despise for ripping OAPs of their savings. I'm not so insecure to be too bothered about 'farang image'.

[COXYATCITY]

That's a nice strong tow rope they have there wonder where they bought it from?

Thai visa ? lol

I am not "lumping all falangs together".

I think you are missing my point.

They definitely do.

I have seen it a lot.

you should try posting in sentences not in rimes, just a suggestion

[koheesti]

Why didn't they do what their kind usually do? Borrow from friends and do a runner.

[Exsexyman]

That's some funny ass sh*t.

Take a step back dude !

I thought this was an English language forum!

[LotusBoy]

I really do not know what amuses me more here. The rejects from The only way is Essex or the racist views some posters seem to have (mainly Thai who like to call everyone French, funny that.......)

The guy who said White Trash gets my vote for the third man in this cock up ATM fiasco. I can see the news headline now "Three cock ups now in the Bangkok Hilton" Easy now, easy lol!!

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.

The word used was "Most foreigners" . I don't know why anyone would feel the need to defend themselves as not belonging to the "most" What is wrong about watching or participating in sports? Sports is subjective, like music. Not to defend tattoos (also subjective) they seem very popular nowadays. I know an Ivy league lawyer graduate that has them, albeit not visible with work attire.

These guys are not the only ones, there are others out there just as stupid, these guys just got caught doing the stupid LOL....

I can fully understand your problem with discussing football, but what the problem discussing hookers?

Try the local church or a mosque, i am sure discussions of god are much more interesting

PS. I always thought people hang out because of similar interests not the amount of tattoo's, unless tattoo is across the forehead and says "<deleted> me"

[ginjag]

Commande, I know the type, beer belly, bottle in hand, tattoos everywhere, Mrs, with a fag on, 2 kids screaming in a push chair/buggie. Donkeys years ago we used to see them waiting for flights-package to Spain. maybe owned a fighting dog. You have the same here in places, from all sorts of countries, but a minority. So MOST of us are brainless. Were you visiting-living here??

[atyclb]

What type of foreigners would one expect (not all) to be attracted to a society like Thailand. Although there are some great Thai people much of society dysfunctions nor is it a bastion of integrity, ethics, logic or morality.

Yes, that's right. These idiots are a product of poor Thai ethics. Truly amazing.

Convoluted logic taken to new limits.

The next thing we'll hear on TV is that it's really a police cover-up and that these guys are actually British rocket scientists here on a charitable mission of mercy.

Nowhere in my post did it suggest or even infer these guys actions are a product of Thai ethics. The inference is Thailand attracts many suboptimal, questionable people. Thailand is on an international watch list due to money laundering / criminality. Imported organized crime flourishes. Why in the world would one doubt there could be (potential) bank robbers in the mix? No doubt some of the expats feel they like are "brains" in society here.

By any chance are you a "rocket scientist"?

[moskito]

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.

The men said that they had run out of money and were unemployed, so they decided to take money from the ATMs.

LOL, they really should have left business like this to the Romanians ... at least they know how it work...proofed all over

western Europe... I am sooooo glad we doesnt have these gypsies here YET .... btw, if they checked a little bit better

they would have learned that the money is NOT IN the machine ....beginners...hope the Judge see it similar ...but I honestly dont think so

[mattyrocks]

LOL... only in thailand.

It's not just Thailand this happens in the UK too.

you do not think you are just a tiny bit racist?

[Dap]

Dumb and Dumber!

In a way it's a shame they didn't make off dragging the ATM down the highway with the Keystone Kops chasing after them. Imagine that on video!

Still, an entertaining mental image.
