BANGKOK: -- An MCOT anchor was robbed by four teenagers yesterday morning on her way back to her condo in Huai Khwang district.

Buddhist Thai teens?

They must be Cambodian teens, imported by Thaksin.

[Confuscious]

Did the police traced her IPhone's GPS to get the location of the "teenagers"?

That is not even remotely funny.

Childish beyond belief.

You sure it said Buddhist Thai teens? I read it quickly, but missed that.

Are you trying to say that Buddhist do not commit crimes ...like the rest of us?

Possibly not Buddhist Monks...nor Christian Priests, nor followers of Islam?

Thank God they were not Catholics from New York...

Well I did learn the other day on TV that a daylight robbery is not as serious as one committed at nighttime so you are probably

correct on the 50 baht fine.

A salient reminder to just let go of the purse/man bag when threatened by these thugs. The murder of the Australian woman in phuket a case in point. I' m sure it's well known by people on here not to try to resist
