These guys are just so quick, or extremely luck to have some dumb criminals present themselves.

So did they spend 100,000 in one transaction at the iStudio shop or had they got away with a few previous purchases?

 

If the former, well done Kasikorn Bank and the RTP.

 

Those kind of " tourists " are plenty around, they're here for sun, send and scam...

I'm just wandering that jails in Thailand must be bursting at the seams by

now housing all these hundreds of ATM scammers....
