Even though the robbers were fake and their guns were probably fake to they handed over 2 million Baht in fake cash.
Meanwhile the police had been alerted and did not rush to the scene as they were all already amassed outside the bank. They were not there however to pick up their wages. They were there to give the fake robbers a Pattaya Police welcome. Even though they were armed with guns the brave policemen jumped them, kicking the fake guns into the gutter and pointing real guns at the fake coppers who were in fact real policemen.
Pattaya Police Colonel Suppatee who just happened to be passing the bank at the time burst into applause. Then after the cameras went away they all returned to Pattaya Police Station to pat themselves and the robbers on the back and get stuck into another mug of tea.
No idea what happened to the 2 million Baht in false notes. Just be very careful and check your change carefully especially when paying your fines at Pattaya Police Station.
