kandi Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I wonder why the media in Thailand never bothers about having any kind of press codex.

Just ask TAT Perhaps nobody dumb enough to leave envelopes full of money lying around in Pattaya so trying his luck there. Pattaya guys go out with 600 baht to spend! Down there they pay 200 baht for a 10 baht ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me313 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Typical high quality Phuket tourist. Yes indeed, the "high quality" thieves use money laundering or bribes or "white collar" crime methods to obtain much more than a mere $350 cash grab. Unfortunately, those "higher quality" thieves are probably the people you associate with "class and style" because they can afford nice shirts and clothing to cover their tattoos or scars.

Transporter Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 So now everyone with a tattoo is a criminal? I have several tattoos but have never stolen anything in my life. I did find £30 pounds lying on the road years ago and told the local police station. They said keep it in an envelope and if no one claims it for 30 days it is legally yours. I did get it and happy days. I wonder what the law is here for finding property. Hand it in to the local police and after 30 days its....No I doubt it!

robblok Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Those Brits, good thing that the guy did not look like a foreigner otherwise we would have had 20 pages telling us it was not a typical Brit. Now that that is out they go for the fact he is wearing a wife beater and has tattoos. Funny thing, when one Thai does something you will hear people here on the forum always say its a Thai trait. Now that the shoe is on the other foot i hear only the sound of silence.
