Thai at Heart Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Funny. The Thais let them out, then negotiated to get them back. Nego$$$iated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farang99 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 A curious point. On the sign at Sakaeo Immigration the English version of the name is spelt as it sounds (which is helpful to non-Thai readers) but in the article it is spelt with a straight transliteration - Srakeaw which would confuse anybody. Don't they have copy editors at Thai PBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangebrew Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Most likely since they were informed before hand of there pending stroll through there immigration checkpoint, they collected the standard payment to the retirement fund to allow safe passage through there checkpoint. But big boss said not enough so they called other side and had them returned. Thus saving face and possible reward from the vendor. But only guessing at this point since my comment on Quality tourist's offended the Elitist here who are so politically correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hope the shop actually sees what was stolen, they'd be pretty lucky. One can imagine all kinds of scenarios as to how the diamonds were stolen in the first place. Hopefully they learned their lesson, otherwise more thieves will be back and the word on the street in China is probably already that Thai shops are an easy hit. Even more scenarios as to what happens to the diamonds from here on. Temptation for corrupt BsIB?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Headline should be Cambodian border police catch robbers in Cambodia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seastallion Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 5 carats! Have more sparkling on my finger- not exactly the heist of the century. Silly. Carat weight has little bearing on it's own with regard to value. All four C's are what matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ableguy Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I bet that upset them. Just when they thought the coast was clear.+1...Strange that they even allowed them to cross. Not really when you consider the allaying lack of communications between various agencies, hey this is the third world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
