Looting!

Postby Tommo » Tue Aug 09, 2011 8:38 pm

Anyone know a good way of saying this word.

The dictionary comes up with
ปล้นจี้
ปล้นสะดม
to me these seem more like stealing, maybe in a gang etc.

and "to riot" I know already as จลาจล

So to me looting is a combination of the either ปล้นจี้/ปล้นสะดม and จลสจล


ขอให้สถานการณ์ที่ลอนดอนดีขึ้นเร็วๆ
I was looking to modify the above sentence (which I think is right already) in order to be a little more specific:

ขอให้การปล้นจี้ที่ลอนดอนหยุ่ดเร็วๆ
หวังว่าการจลาจลที่ลอนดอนหยุ่ดในไม่ช้า
