noitom Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A bystander asked this Thai why he robbed banks? The Thai robber responded, "that's where the money is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It looks like someone learned from the previous day's police exercise on a simulated bank robbery where the thief escapes with the money. Maybe TAT should promote ROBBERY TOURISM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 A bystander asked this Thai why he robbed banks? The Thai robber responded, "that's where the money is." that saying is from another bank robber in the usa. . Nothing to do with Thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 "A police unit was rushed to the bank after being alerted of the holdup. They scoured the routes suspected to be used by the robber but only found a black jacket abandoned in Soi Siharajburanukit which was believed to belong to the robber." but because they have zero forensic skills and the CCTV cameras are too much trouble, then they can offer a reward for a scapegoat, or just give up if they can't get a confession....

Howitzer Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 seems like robbing a bank in thailand is a piece of cake. Lucky dude doesn't even need to split the loot. BTW what happens to the customers whose money was in the bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviss Geez Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 the security guard in front was asleep? Not all banks have security guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW what happens to the customers whose money was in the bank? He wasn't so lucky, he was caught. Nothing happens to the bank's customers, if the money is in the bank it's the bank's money that was stolen and there are contingency plans in place by the banks known as insurance.
