Not only that, but there was 2 million Baht in the briefcase as well, the thief might have thought he hit the motherload!

Anyway, still a substantial some of money - but makes one wonder why he carries these kinds of sums in cash, that is about 60,000 USD.

You never know when some disgruntled Thai general will freeze your bank accounts.

Must be a bit of a bummer being a deposed (rich) head of government
