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."

i guess the "serious expressions" on everyones face would make it funny

If I was on that bus, i'd be confused why two convicts in prison uniforms would be doing there. I don't think anyone here would even give it a second thought as soon as they ran out of the bus. We're pretty apathetic.

They never said he was a popular or good comedian.. just a comedian.
