    Siam Bank in CM robbed with explosives

    Some plain clothesed coppers came around asking about this today.

    NEWS HEADLINE : Bank robber uses explosives to snatch over 100 thousand baht in Chiang Mai

    Explosive Retrieval units of the 33rd Border Patrol utilized a high pressured water dispensing device to dispose of an object supposedly rigged to explode. The system however, triggered the explosive which caused an amount of commotion. The device was planted by a bank robber who placed the bomb in a bag to intimidate staff at Siam Commercial Bank before making off with over 100 thousand baht in cash.

    :: continued -- National News Bureau Public Relations Department

    What a sausage, glad I wasn't near there.

    According to the local Thai papers the robber said,

    "I need the money, I don't need your lives, give me the money or I'll take your lives"

    but will 100,000 baht be enough for CMN to bribe the telephone company?

    Thaphae Gate, on Ratchadamnern Rd. In the Chiangmai News local paper it said it was a bureau-de-change and not a bank.
