Thread: British-led Card Room raided by officials in South Pattaya

What a bunch of stupid cunts, raiding a bridge club!...

Welcome to the Buffalo Bureau!...

555555555555...

Hehe.

This one's gent/tax catnip.

^ Good one...Quite...

The offense relates to Section 8 of the Playing Cards Act of 1935.
Who managed to remember that law.

50 officers where needed , all hopeing to get loads of free money I presume, or battle Mafia Farang.

Officers received a tip-off from an informant

Sounds like someone stitched them up ...there must have been a Contract on the Bridge Club

High stakes games playing for the glory of winning.

Over 50 officers stormed the premises

Mr. Jeremy Watson aged 74 from UK was detained for further questioning.

Real necessity



Poor old woman.

Fukwits, they simply have no brain between the lot of them... Power, power, steal money, power, lie, steal, lie, power, power, power... Fukwits.

Is this an early April fools? Fifty officers storm an oap bridge club?

Whatever next in the land of smiles...

Has anyone worked out the significance of 120 for the max number of playing cards? Does it include jokers?...

Troy goes to the gallows for being in possession.....of 3 packs of playing cards...unbelievable

Had to find face again.

Shame it ain't on video.

And I seriously doubt those oldies set out to break the law, were they in some kind of hideout?

What about those bombers from a few months back? Are the task force still on the case?

No money was changing hands, however the officers scoured the law books and found an offense was being committed and therefore the alleged organizer of the event, Mr. Jeremy Watson aged 74 from UK was detained for further questioning.

The offense relates to Section 8 of the Playing Cards Act of 1935 which states that an individual is not allowed to possess more than 120 playing cards at any one time. At the Bridge event, considerably more than 120 playing cards were found by officers.

Right, now all they got to do is extract a confession of ownership from Mr. Watson to put away this dangerous criminal.

Pattaya will be a safer place for it.

...an individual is not allowed to possess more than 120 playing cards at any one time...

Does this mean I have to throw away my Match Attack collection?

The poor barstard will hang over it and that fckwit Richard Quest will cover the story...Texpat will make rubber dolls of them all...

The cops have a month to solve 600 crimes, so they gotta be seen cracking down on the most serious stuff

I bet Jeremy Watson wishes he'd dressed up and robbed tourists along Beach Road instead. He must be kicking himself

It's a fair cop, oldies in Pattaya not involved in gambling, prostitution, drug rackets, extortion or any other criminal acts. Just minding their own business harmlessly playing cards- who the fuk do they think they are?

Well, bridges' loss is Thai Visas' gain, I guess.

Prepare thy ears to be assaulted by howls of righteous indignation!

it is not righteous indignation you buffoon.

it is the schadenfreude of one who knows his views are 100% correct.

it is stories like this that vindicate posters who criticise the thai authorities for their ignorance and stupidity, the posters that you consider the old whiners.

however the officers scoured the law books

where else but in a third world chickenhead bugmuncher infested backwater would they send 50 police to raid an oldies bridge club on the word of a chickenhead scrote who was probably suffering from an acute case of hurt thai feelings at only receiving a 20b tip from the old woman he served the drink to, and arrest a 74 year old man for possessing more than 120 playing cards.

and this in a country that took them 5 years to find and close down a huge illegal casino turning over billions of baht in the middle of bangkok.

the story merely highlights the pathetic ineptness of the people that run this country.

Manna from heaven, eh tax.

hope some one has posted this tip to the daily mail or the like

old age pensioners need to be warned of the dangers of thailand

Over 50 officers stormed the premises and found 8 tables and 32 foreign nationals, consisting of 26 men and 6 women who were playing the popular card game “Bridge”.

No money was changing hands, however the officers scoured the law books and found an offense was being committed and therefore the alleged organizer of the event, Mr. Jeremy Watson aged 74 from UK was detained for further questioning.

Surely this is a joke?

Is there a law from 1926 that says one must not play snooker left handed? I'm going to have to hire some lookouts this evening.
