Well that's good news for PM Prayut. He will be able to brag about that to President Trump on his upcoming visit to the US when they discus copyright infringement. Doesn't matter a rat's that every other market in Thailand is doing the same thing that Rong Klua market isn't doing anymore.

Carry-on with the good work !

Both involve theft. 

 

Both are forms of theft. 

 

Both are theft. 

 

You do realise that robbery and theft are the same thing?
