saakura Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The police officer was also honest enough not to kick out the old couple and pocket the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my country if the sum is huge the police will murder the couple and share the cash. Yes, there is a chance this will happen because they dare to do anything. Guess my country, no , not Thailand.
