BANGKOK (Reuters) - A Thai comedian was left laughing on the other side of his face when he was arrested for a mock jailbreak in which he and another actor dashed onto a Bangkok bus handcuffed and wearing prison uniforms.
Police arrested Santi Meesaengchan, 37, after intercepting the bus and fined him 1,000 baht ($24) for "causing panic in public places" while pretending to be a prisoner on the run in Wednesday's made-for-TV prank.
The bus, carrying a mixture of actors and ordinary passengers, was equipped with a hidden camera to capture the reaction of members of the public, newspapers reported.
The verdict from the country's leading tabloid, Thai Rath: "Not very funny."
