Seven robberies for a total of 25.000 Bht.

I suggest the robbers look for another job.

"Wai" rob a 7 /11 in the first place?

One night in Bangkok, 25,000 baht and the worlds your oyster.

These people seem so desperate that they must be dangerous !

Desperate ? More like lazy to work for a living.

Even the robbers in thailand are so stupid! 7 jobs totalling 25,000Bt......while don't they learn from the elite thai-chinese and politicans to rob for bigger amounts!

Seven last night, eleven tonight?

they will be lucky if they do not crap out from a 9mm slug between the eyes. dangerous game to be playing, but some like to live4 in the fast lane danger is a high for them, just like booze/drugs for others.

i see no happy ending if they continue their present type of employment.

Should be a couple of Burmese being rounded up for this about now. With some "reliable" witnesses pointing the finger and some DNA evidence (that will be eventually and conveniently lost) its a solved case already. Well done Royal Thai Police another case solved in under half an hour !

They must have ridden nearly 1km to cover that many stores

25 000 bht, they ll get a few happy endings

My girlfriend knows some people that work for 7/11 and they said that all 7/11's in Thailand store their cash at 10.000 baht min. - 20.000 baht max.

I would never let my daughter work in a 7-Eleven.

These stores are frequently getting robbed and staff have even been murdered.

Those working in these stores should receive danger money:

Terrible seeing that kid standing there frozen with fear.

I suspect these were Chinese tourists wanting to get a refund on expenses after touring Thailand...and not being allowed to defecate on the grounds of Chiang Mai University...

7-7-1-1 looks like a lucky number.

Maybe next time it will be 1-1-7-1-1.

No denying the effort these lads put in.

They must be desperate.Kept on robbing total 25000 baht.I'm surprised that after 2-3 robberies the police would stake

Out the rest of the 7-11's in the area.Maybe stores have to change their policy.That if your head is covered you can't

Walk in the store.

Myself I wouldn't work n any store in the world without protection of some kind.

This time a practice run. 7 7-11 stores. Next time 7 7-11 stores x11. That is progress for some.

Maybe that is why most 7-11 are out of business in the USA.

Be busy tomorrow, I believe they will try for 11!

Oops sorry Mr Appleton, you are faster on the punch than me!

A law should be introduced to give shop staff a right to shoot a robber. This will help

Bike helmets and burkas can be used to hide identity. Both should be removed before entering store. Perhaps an electronic lock can be used to prevent entry after 1am until faces are clearly videoed?

25,000 split between two .... 12,500 each minus bike fuel.

Wow !! today 7-11 .... next week SCB ... are these guys the next Bonnie & Clyde .. ?

When these idiots get caught which they will. Because of the number of robberies I reckon they will get at least twenty years to life all for les than five hundred pounds, brain dead morons.

Would you trust your average 7/11 clerk with a gun ? Not me.

yes I would! lawful citizen with a registered gun is, according to statistics, as safe as one without.

sane people never use guns, registered on their name. and insane people would find a way to kill other human being anyway.

by they way, guns are legal in Thailand now. what I want is the right to shoot a robber without any consequences.

I guess they know that when being robbed the 7-11 clerks just back off and hand over the till, whereas with a private store there's no telling what will happen.

Maybe the mastermind once worked there.

7-7-1-1 looks like a lucky number.

Maybe next time it will be 1-1-7-1-1.

Hey don't laugh, I hit for 100,000 baht on number 11 on 1 December 2014, had 50 tickets..............7 come 11
