Yeah, like they just found out about this?

Wheel out the big guns for a PR/photo op.

2 million Baht, so that will be 2 or 3 stalls at the market.

And most shocking of all, they were rented by Cambodians, who would have thought.

They can confiscate for many billions of pirated goods in Bangkok easily. Seethrough hypocricy. Who do they think they are fooling?

I have some more information for them;

"receiving information that pirated goods had been brought in from Cambodia".

If they go back there today they will find more pirated good have been brought in and that some of them are for sale in Thai owned stalls.

Furthermore if they visit my local night market tonight, they will find a wide range of "branded" goods which are sold at a far cheaper price than would be expected, suggesting they could possibly be fake.
