A man robbed a bank at a store on Rama III Road in Bangkok and made off with over 600,000 baht on Wednesday afternoon.
The man, wearing a white T-shirt, a light blue jacket and trousers, entered a branch of LH Bank at HomePro branch on Rama II Road in Bangkok at around 2.40pm on Wednesday, Thai media reported.
He threatened staff with a pistol before robbing the bank of about 500,000 baht, and fled on a motorcycle.
Phraya Krai police radioed officers to keep watch for the robber on possible escape routes. He remained at large at press time.
