I guess they will be known as the rent-a-car gang. Are they related to the speed boat gang who ran out of gas


maybe they attended the same school ...

The suspects can't be real bright ....  wouldn't you realise the police would be looking for the rental car at every road checkpoint ?

Sounds like gangsters watched to much of keystone cops ... Posted Image


Anyway , there still one suspect ' still at large '


I think there's more to this episode regarding the car parked at the supercentre and having the jewelry sitting in the back ...  we haven't been told the full story here in my opinion. Posted Image

Sounds like they have to share with the owner of the car...

the owner of the car has never shopped at supercentre before ... he just wanted a change from Lotus.  Posted Image

All in all cost me about 5000 baht.

On these figure you give, Sorry does not add up

Bus each way from BKK @ 575 = 1150 baht
Tuk Tuk to Boarder @ 150 baht each way = 300
Visa to Laos  = 1,500
Tuk Tuk to Embassy 100 baht each way  = 200
Thai Visa 2,000 baht

So far = 5,150 baht........... did you not have to pay for the bus each way in No mans land ? [over the bridge between boarders]
Pay the Lady-boy to fill out the forms ?
Pay for a Hotel ?

I ask because when I went I checked out the prices there was no difference......... Re you say "Spoke to one guy and said he was on a visa package that cost 6500 baht, all inclusive"..... This included a very nice Hotel + 2 wonderful breakfasts just down the road,+ an evening meal, everything was done and arranged, forms filled out........ The Mini Buses were 9 seater's so lots of leg room.

bus to mukdahan 575

tuk tuk to thai border 150

bus to loas border 50

laos visa 1500

tuktuk to embassy 100

ladyboy form 40 baht

visa 2000

hotel 400

back to laos border 100

bus to thai border 50

Got a lift to mukdahan bus terminal with a farang and his thai gf

bus to bangkok 400 baht, (was just standard a/c)

so 5365 baht. As i said about 5k.

To be honest id rather go alone even if its the same price, Takes the same amount of time and chances are you meet less freaky farang.

did you tip the thai girl & farang for the lift to the Mukdahan ? say 20 baht ... just kidding.

Fly up there ... get the visa done as quickly as possible and get the hell outa there...
Fly back and I have the limo waiting for me at the airport ... then proceed to the Marriot for a couple of drinks to close the night.

why penny pinch and account for every baht you spend  ?

I stayed at the Savan Vegas and just got the Visa a quickly as I could....

anyway, good luck.

Bangladeshi Rotarians are always targeted.
If the front desk took a copy of her or his ID card as thai law requires then the suspected perpetrator will be apprehended swiftly I should imagine.

RIP Business Chan

Lets hope the other two recover even though there conditions are serious.
