little sister as if to say “thou shalt not steal”.

A 29-year-old woman turned in her 19-year-old sister to
police after the younger sibling allegedly stole 20,000 baht from her bank
account.
Paweena-orn Piaraj of Tak Province worked with the staff
at the Kasikorn Bank branch on Soi Buakhao to detain sister Saengduan Jan.
21 for allegedly stealing Paweena-orn’s bank book and forging her signature
in order to loot her account. Police found her sitting sheepishly in the
manager’s office.
The elder sister told police her sister stole her bank
book January 20, withdrew 20,000 baht and stayed out all night partying.
After complaining to the bank, executives there promised
to alert her if Saengduan tried to withdraw more money.
She didn’t have to wait long. The next day, the younger
woman returned to take out another 2,000 baht. She was charged with fraud,
forgery of bank documents and theft.
It’s apparently not the first time the Piaraj sisters
have fallen out over money. Paweena-orn claims Saengduan previously tried to
steal her three-baht gold necklace to sell for cash, but was caught by her
sister. Paweena-orn said she forgave her sibling that time, but no more.
