trainman34014 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Looking at the (lack of) proper security systems in Thai banks and gold shops i'm surprised that big robberies don't occur on a daily basis up and down the country. In Britain these places would be considered as easy meat for the blaggers and would soon be forced to adopt proper security measures. Not much sophistication needed to rob a bank here, just enough men and hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technologybytes Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) It wouldn't happen like that in the UK, I need to make an appointment days in advance to take more than 1,000 pounds (50,000 baht) out of my own bank account. They say they don't keep "large amounts of cash".. I thought that's what banks were for? Edited September 25, 2013 by technologybytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newermonkey Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Any one know where on the internet I can get "robbing banks for dummies" because this looks like it could be more profitable that what I am doing now? I think its easy to find "Make your own Nuclear device at home" but there seems to be a lack of info on easy large bank withdrawals, of course I am only interested in the big returns such as over 5 million etc...

CanInBKK Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) The gunman was "fought off" by the 21 year old niece. Nice going for the young lady and very impressive. Well, yes and no. Considering the woman got shot (and lived, presumably) it could easily have gone the wrong way. I'm guessing the owner is thanking his niece for her actions but he's also telling her next time it's just not worth dying for (that's if the owner's sibling hasn't told their daughter to retire from the gold selling business).

travelman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Why the hell the woman risked her life? One thing very important in Thailand I have learned and that is never take any risk that costs your life and your beloved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they strike at lunch time ? We all know everything stops for food !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say they don't keep "large amounts of cash".. I thought that's what banks were for? You might want to think about switching banks. It could be that the bank does not have 1000 pounds because they are on the verge of going bankrupt. I should say that I have no knowledge what-so-ever of British banking.

thequietman Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Don't worry, they will be caught promptly. I haven't met a Thai man yet who doesn't get pissed and then start telling everyone his business. They seem incapable of shutting the hell up when they are up to no good. Same when the cops interview them, they squeal immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
