It seems that a group of Thai gentlemen driving along Sukhumvit road in a black Isuzu Pick-Up truck around 2am realised that they didn't have enough money for a night out. They spotted a lonely Siam Commercial ATM machine on the forecourt of a concrete company.
Nope no one had an ATM card on them. Not to be deterred they donned balaclavas they just happened to have in the glove box to keep them warm in the cool night air. One of them kept the engine running, two just stood around whistling whilst the other grabbed a bag of tools that just happened to be in the back of the pick-up truck and made a small withdrawal of around 2 million Baht after he had managed to remove the back plate of the money machine.
They were interrupted by a security guard who had smelt a burning smell and woke up just in time. He wandered over to the truck and asked the gentlemen what they were doing. It was fairly clear however to the smart security guard that the gentlemen were just doing a bit of overtime and were taking two metal cash boxes away for cleaning.
Khun Paitoon aged 42 the security guard then thought something could be amiss as the gentlemen drove off at high speed with not a single ratri sawat. He called the police who found the wrecked rear of the ATM and the security camera pointing skywards no doubt set to look for pigs flying over Jomtien.
Have you ever cursed when the ATM dispenses only 20,000 Baht at a time or even worse still dispenses nothing and eats your card well there is a way............
