Hundreds of supercars 'missing' - Thai customs

"But the source said luxury cars would continue to disappear from warehouses because some business owners had good relations with officials who take bribes and let the cars out so they can be displayed at showrooms."

That explains it all really. Welcome to LOC. Land of corruption.

And does that really come as a surprise to you or to anyone else for that matter?

Just did a search for Lamborghini Gallardo's for sale on a popular Thai website and there are 66 for sale....a search on the No 1 UK car sales website and there are 61 for sale! blink.png

Doesn't matter what developed major metropolis you journey to, funny thing is you wont see more luxury cars than you do in Bangkok.

I saw a Lamborghini towing a plow near nam phong last week.

Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app

Thats different than i see a ford tractor beeing pulled out of a deep ditch by a flock of waterbuffalos

How do you call a large group of waterbuffalos ?.

I believe that the collective noun is a flotilla!

Two officials from the Customs Department have been moved to inactive positions pending investigation into their role in the disappearance of some 500 luxury vehicles that went missing from the customs' bonded warehouses.

How about arrested and given a 20 year sentence ?

How about we underline some more to put things in the correct context :

pending investigation into their role in the disappearance

Unless of course you would sentence them without a trial.
