fiddlehead Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I had no idea that massage was so profitable. At 300 baht per massage, that's well over 1,000 massages. Is that in a day or two? Or don't they go to the bank? I wonder where this big profitable massage parlor is? You'd think they'd at least tell you THAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keestha Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Inside job I bet, who knew they had 400k in the shop... Yes. Impossible that a massage parlour, even a big and expensive soapy with movie star look a likes makes this type of money in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 "They left the scene on a motorcycle" I know it is a fairly common sight to see 5 people on a motorcycle, but with two of them wearing full facial helmets? Dead give away. They should be in custody soon......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee b Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Inside job I bet, who knew they had 400k in the shop... Yep you just beat me to it, I'm shocked a massage parlour would ever have that kind of cash any time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think any successful business in LOS takes all, or even the majority of it's money to the bank? BTW a word to the newbies. "Massage is not always just Massage in Phuket, or other Thai tourist hot spots. Some people would say that business is great now, and they made all that in the 4 days since Martial Law ended. 555 Edited April 6, 2015 by The Deerhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 According to another news site, this was a spa on the Chinese tour bus circuit and it was payday. Definitely an inside job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 According to another news site, this was a spa on the Chinese tour bus circuit and it was payday. Definitely an inside job. How many staff did they have ? 10 customers, so maybe 15 staff, paid every 2 weeks. Pay roll not even close to the amount (claimed) stolen.

xen Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Interesting situation . Was the business protected and by whom or was it a ploy to make the owners aware of the wisdom investing in insurance from a particular source . If it was protected then the fools who did the job have a bigger problem than how to spend the spoils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
