Video: Beware these dangerous con artists on the Thai roads

 

Picture: Sanook

 

BANGKOK: -- The court of Thai social media was in no doubt of a couple's guilt after they threatened two men in a car with a golf club on the expressway.

 

There had been a collision and the men in the car had stopped and said that they must call the insurance man and the police.

 

But the people in the other car - that had no license plate - were not having that. All they wanted was 5,000 baht on the spot.

 

The driver refused to pay and suggested they drive to the next toll booth on the Bang Na - Pa-in expressway to sort it out.

 

The two people in the other car chased them and threatened them with the putter. Then they drove off without going to the toll booth.

 

People online said it was a clear case of a gang of fraudsters touring round deliberately driving into others to con people out of money.

 

Commenters said they have older cars with no plates.

 

The incident happened shortly after midday Monday and was posted on Facebook.

 

Beware!

So you can see her face clearly in the video then they go and fuzz it out in the still photo  ? Certainly makes sence

[Get Real]

That´s sad! Not even a good putter. Maybe should think about swinging for the balls instead of focusing on the almost always empty head.

[wvavin]

As I always said, always have an UZI with you on Thai roads.

shouldn't be to hard to find them now

From the headline title, I was expecting to see Thai police parade. ?

[LotusBoy]

The police have recovered the rest of those nasty looking weapons. OUCH!!!! 

 

 

[wgdanson]

How did the perpetrators NOT go to the toll booth on the expressway? There are no exits.

Strange thing to say......are you saying that the people under attack were "empty heads"?

[gemguy]

You should always carry a squirt bottle or spray bottle or better yet a large size Songkran style squirt gun filled with dog urine to be used in cases such as this...lol

apparently they have not yet reported to the police station as requested and the police are baffled with what to do next.

How do you collect the dog urine to fill these bottles up? Is there a store that sells it?

How do you get a dog to pee into a bottle or squirt gun?

with great difficulty i would imagine.

[kingkenny]

Thought this would be about the police. 

[hgma]

cheap trick...only 5000?

and i don't believe the story...if they pick the wrong one their dead.

Threatening with a deadly weapon can trigger a  lethal response.

But maybe there are fools and horses around this country...

Defamation is a higher crime than highway robbery.

[hobz]

You know why there's not a bunch of criminals driving cars with no license plates in Sweden? Oh, because there's police patrolling that actually do their jobs.

[rkidlad]

No plates, huh? Who's job is it to enforce the laws again? Oh, yea - the police. I guess they were too busy allowing murderers sit uncuffed, applying make-up and chatting like free people. Priorities, people.

When people lose it all, they lose it.

 

They do things they normally would not do, but they have no choice when they have nothing.

 

As the economy retreats worldwide, we can expect more of this worldwide.

'... i don't believe the story...if they pick the wrong one their dead.' You give them too much credit for having IQs that high.

No, not specifically! Just drawing a straight line through the evil malfunction and capacity of the population. Absulotely nothing to be hung up on. Easily explained. When one person swings the club, the chance of hurting something important higher than 4ft over the sea is about 0,1%. Don´t ask me about the source of the statistical facts. It just come from a long time of personal experience. With that said I also don´t try to say that i am swinging golf clubs at people. There are far more sophisticated ways of collecting such facts.

[Stargeezr]

Two lowlifes  scamming other motorists, shameful. With all the guns in Thailand these

days, these two are lucky they did not meet up with a gun carrier. Boom Boom, not trial

only justice.

Most store it in a closet and accommodate special customers that ask for it but don't believe it's really dog urine. This is LOS.

[eggers]

As already noted, putter is in fairly poor condition, likely they've had a s*** round of golf &  lost their balls as well !!

Yes,  Kabula indeed this happens all over the World as well.
