There have been several robberies on soi 4 & 5 in Maenam.

The guy was caught on the security cameras robbing a house & truck at the cottages behind the temple in Maenam the place is called Rueng Tip homes or something like that. He was also caught on the cameras at the entrance to soi 4.

He seems to be a slightly built farang probably in his 30s with round glasses rides a motor bike . The cops are on the case.

Lock up your valuables & your wife or GF, I would imagine a farang has more ingenious ways of breaking than a Thai.

Is being a robber one of the occupations a farang can do in Thailand?

Sure he needs a work permit

"He seems to be a slightly built farang probably in his 30s with round glasses rides a motor bike"

That's him in your avatar!

Sure he needs a work permit

How many Thai nominees does he require for that?

And he get only 49% of the proceeds too.

Is being a robber one of the occupations a farang can do in Thailand?

surely he needs a WP.

This is a bit close to home!

Well I hope he gets caught and detained at his Majesty's pleasure at the local jail....

I heard the other day another useless farang ... .... who lived in this area was now being detained at the prison, (same age group) .... I was not surprised...

I have heard of two Thai's having their laptops stolen lately, too... really hard when they are having to pay on the "never never plan" , one was less than a month old...

Shit, gotta get rid of my glasses and buy lenses again - but thank you for the 'in his thirties', that's quite flattering.

On another note, WPs are only required if the loot is valued more than 20'000 Baht and you didn't contribute enough to the police widow's fund.

do i have to "Lock up your valuables & your wife or GF" surely we should lock up the burgler not our wifes that is abit unfare and crazy he he

"Security cameras"? Wouldn't the word of the person who was robed been sufficient to describe the robber?

I think the OP means burglar. But than again where would a forced entry been committed, especially when bandwidth has been stolen?

you cannot get a work permit to be a robber as you are only alloud to do work that a thai cannot do. U maybe be able to open a company and employ thai staff to burgle houses but dont be shocked if the 51 % share holder steels your share capital as you are dealing with theives.

The other scynario is to rob the robber and give to the me thank you check bin khrup

Now is that a hint or what !

No we are already in an oversupply situation.

We could do with some more police though.

Good one coming from you BigC.

Can we at least have a betting market on the nationality of the thief?

Is being a robber one of the occupations a farang can do in Thailand?

Only if you hire 4 local accomplices.

Can we at least have a betting market on the nationality of the thief?

No , No, No. Let's not go there please.

What happened to the Farang Bank Robber who was caught during doing it in the suburbs of Bangkok around 1-2 years ago?

Or the Koh Tao bank robber, is he convicted already?

I did not want to start a new topic on thief!!! so here goes !

Darwin Award for stupidity on this one !

Chatting with a friend today who rents motorbikes as a part of his business....

Some guy about 10 days ago, wanted a bike for "a day" ... So leaves his passport for security ....

Today still no sign of bike or the guy....(visa expires tomorrow!!!) My friend at Shop phones American embassy in BKK, to report this guy, and it turned out that the guy had already been in to say his passport was stolen and had applied for a new one .... The nerve!!!!!

The new passport has not been issued to him yet.... but now it's red flagged.... ..... On top of this, a report was made a Nathon Police station, and info sent to immigration. He searched the ferry terminals to try to find the bike (to no avail, I might add) ...

It's not the first time this shop has lost bikes, it's happened twice before.... he used to be very trusting of people, but twice bitten, .... he now insists on Passport before renting

I imagine, that the guy who did this, is going to have a big surprise when he goes to the embassy to try getting his passport and one would hope be nabbed by police too.... .... Amazing !

Yawn

To get a new passport it's required to have a police report.

A false police report in Thailand carries a two year jail sentence.

Well you being the expert at sentences, Big C.... should be able to tell us!

forang or thai if i caught an introder i would use the full extent of the law which is to detain that person or persons and push the boundaries of that law to the max.

i might even call the lady boy bar and sell him to them if it was a he. II would tell them that the spider has caught some flys. ha ha

if i caught a intruder and they took my lap top as an example i would put the reward higher than the price of the lap top just out of spite to make an example of him. I would not want the computer back i want the robber captured and delt with in a harsh manor
