A Thai man landed himself in Poipet police custody after displaying as much of a knack for moto theft as he had gambling acumen on Friday.

Having hopped the border to have a flutter, the Thai man speedily blew through his cash. Clearly no quitter, he then stole a moto and was changing the plates before attempting to flog it.

The owner reported his missing moto to the cops, who arrested the Thai man while he was at the locksmith.
