It does seem remarkable that the chances of the BIB solving a case very rapidly is in direct proportion to the amount of booty alleged to have been stolen. It also seems to be the case that the amount recovered is usually not more than 90% of what was originally stolen.

and what were the turkish men doing with 40k usd cash ???????????

and what were the turkish men doing with 40k usd cash ???????????

A few days ago I had the equivalent of a little more than 40.000 USD in Thai Baht in my possession.

Thanks for the reminder that next time I need to ask your permission.

My guess is the 40k has been squeezed out of the suspects by Po Po. Now the money is gone the pair could

be arrested. LOL

I was under the impression that all Cash amounts bought into Thailand in excess of $10K was to be declared on entry.

Ah Well a Minor point I guess.

Making an Arrest & with Confessions to me is a good Policing result. Recovery etc. is another matter.

Sorry I don't believe any of this. No one is pointing in the photos, pure fiction .

And how would you know that the amount was not declared? It has to be declared, not surrendered to authorities.

What use is a room safe if you can walk out with it .. Yes I know many Hotels install them that way ..... Would you then stick ya cash in a steel handbag ???

Doesn't sound like they had much to go on, except the Turks' description, so it's kinda unreal that they've actually found and arrested them... in Bangkok!
