What a loot.

ATMs cut open, B2.4m stolen in Ayutthaya

• Bangkok Post Published: 6/07/2018 at 03:41 PM

AYUTTHAYA: At least four thieves were involved in the theft of 2.4 million baht from two ATMs in Wang Noi district, police said on Friday.
Investigators obtained closed-circuit television images taken along the escape route and observed a pickup truck similar to the one that was found burned on a local road beside an irrigation canal, about 5 kilometres from the scene of the crime, around 5am Friday.
The incident took place in an area in front of a restaurant in tambon Lam Sai, where two ATM machines were cut open late Thursday night.
Thieves used a gas-fuelled torch to cut open a Bangkok Bank ATM and took cash totalling 2.4 million baht from three cash boxes, said police. They then forced open the first steel door of a Siam Commercial Bank ATM but stopped cutting the inner door when a woman arrived at the area.

The woman, whose name was withheld, provided useful information, said the investigators. At least four men were involved, she told them.
Closed-circuit TV cameras at the bank machines did not capture the incident as the thieves had turned them in another direction. However, CCTV footage along the escape route captured two vehicles -- one similar to the burned pickup and the other a white car, said officers.
The pickup had no licence plates and had been abandoned and set on fire on a local road leading to the Ayodhya Links golf course near an irrigation canal in tambon Wang Sai, said Pol Col Ekkarat Ouncharoen, chief of the Wang Noi station.
A search found several empty ATM cash boxes dumped behind nearby bushes.

I have redirected your concerns to the governor of Chiang Rai. They will heed your advice.

Anyway, I think Elon Musk has a brilliant rescue plan. He suggested inserting an inflatable nylon tube into the flooded tunnel to create a clean and dry passageway.

AMDK is the best !

Went for a walk this morning around KLCC and then to Bukit Bintang of Kuala Lumpur.

Around KLCC very green nice for exercise and picnic

At Bukit Bintang and Jalan Walter Granier discovered a row of Indian shops opened for breakfast.

Seems like in Malaysia will have choices of daal curry, fish curry and chili sambal to go with your roti

My roti and teh-O

After the roti I waked at the walkway and discovered its lined with tables and at the end is a queue

Finally these people are having traditional nasi lemak

Following the enactment of the Emergency Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017) (the Decree) back in late June 2017 as mentioned in our previous alert, there has been much confusion prompting a number of foreign workers to leave Thailand due to fears of harsh penalties against offenders under the Decree. Temporary measures were implemented by the government including the issuance of the Order of the National Council for Peace and Order (the Order) Number 33/2560 on 4 July 2017 to suspend certain penalties under the Decree until 31 December 2017 as explained in our alert. The Order also requires the Ministry of Labour to consider amending the Decree to address the current state of confusion that workers are experiencing.

Against this backdrop, on 27 March 2018, a new amendment to the Emergency Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017) (the Amended Decree) was enacted and took effect on 28 March 2018.
The key amendments to the Decree are as follows:

• Foreigners who perform the following activities in Thailand shall not be subject to the Decree and its requirements, including the requirement to obtain a work permit:
  • foreigners who enter Thailand occasionally to: organize or attend meetings; give opinions, lecture, or present in a meeting; participate in training sessions, tour, seminar, art or cultural exhibitions, sports competition, or any other activities as prescribed by the Cabinet;
  • foreigners who enter Thailand to engage in business or investment; or who are specialists, experts, or have skills which will help improve the country, in accordance with the Cabinet's specifications; and
  • representatives of a foreign entity which is granted a foreign business license under the Foreign Business Act.
• The definition of “work” has been revised to "performing any profession, whether or not there is an employer, excluding business operations of a foreign business license's holder under the Foreign Business Act" - comparing with the previous definition of "exerting one's physical energy or employing one's knowledge to perform a profession or perform work, whether or not for wages or other benefits".

That is the best realistic aletrnative.
Elon Musk and his company and team, will probably take steps to do it.
