I like the necessity of placing an "Out of service" notice on the screen.. Like anyone would have tried to use it? 

 

On second thought, what happened to the notice itself? Second vandalism?

Exactly. And if you read the full news story he paid money into the machine and wanted to check the book balance. I suspect there is some very sloppy reporting here. Might be he transferred money into his account via the ATM them wanted to check the balance - that would all make much more sense to me.

Some Thai's should still be riding buffalo's not cars and should be swapping goods

They have no grasp of modern times

Only I want  Give now

There is so much anger in this country. Every day we see people exploding over nothing. The place is a pressure cooker, with culture demanding that you not express your feelings. Eventually it gets too much and people snap.

This is why Thai girls always prefer ATM's on legs.  They always pay out and the girl has no passbook to update.  Therefore no anger on both counts.

He thought that he only played his favorite computer game and was finally awarded a Gameboy made out of Yingluck's tablets.

 Now you're not fair considering that some of them hope the 20 baht had magically reproduced.

He was a bit angry ... yes?
