Chop shop.

That's the first big one I've ever heard of in Chiang Mai.

I wonder what gave this place away as a chop shop?

Must have been an informant.

am happy with this news. it also lets us see that the Thai authorities sometimes carry out her duties. if my car would be stolen, I would be even happier when those criminals should spend some time in a cage.

Maybe there is hope for CM.
