This is what happens when you muscle in on the local boys turf !! That or no one told them about brown envelopes.....

Why rent a house for that? Neighbors watching you come and go... 104,000 baht.. sounds like a real racket!

How in the world did the lazy BIB find these guys, and so quickly?

Must have had a Thai working for them who told the police, or a neighbor complained. Because there is no way the Thai police stumbled across this on their own and acted.

One of them played and lost, of course.

I would believe 104,000 an hour - couldn't have been a very lucrative endeavor, some Gambling dens take that in minutes...............thats not even $3,000.
