At 01:30 on 26 April 2026, Rishav Singh, 36, reported the incident to Pattaya City Police Station after returning to his accommodation and discovering his necklace missing. The alleged theft occurred late on 25 April along Pattaya Beach Road, opposite a shopping centre.

Singh told police he had been visiting Pattaya on a five day trip and had spent time at entertainment venues on Walking Street in South Pattaya. While walking back to his hotel along the beachfront road, he said two ladyboys approached him, initiated conversation and behaved in a friendly manner before hugging him.

He said he became suspicious during the encounter and attempted to push them away. After returning to his hotel, he later discovered that his gold necklace, valued at approximately 300,000 Indian rupees was missing.

Police confirmed that the complaint has been formally recorded as evidence. Investigators have been instructed to review CCTV footage from the area where the alleged theft took place in an effort to identify the individuals involved.

Officers are also compiling records, linked to similar incidents in the area to assist with identification of the suspects. Authorities said that if a match is found, legal action will be pursued against those responsible.

The case highlights ongoing concerns about opportunistic theft targeting tourists in busy nightlife areas. Police continue to advise visitors to remain cautious when approached by strangers, particularly in crowded or late night settings.

Investigations are ongoing, with officers focusing on gathering visual evidence and cross checking suspect profiles. Further updates are expected once CCTV analysis and identification efforts progress.

    These male Indian tourists must be so dumb to fall for this sort of thing, IF it actually happens. IMHO I believe these Indian males are running a reverse scam. Thing is they'll rarely, if ever, receive any compensation for the alleged stolen necklaces or see them returned. The cops will take the report and file it. They've seen this too many times to know it's a ruse.

    That's the whole point. There never was any gold. Just an insurance claim.

    Are you seriously suggesting that the Indian might be about to make a false insurance claim? Perish the thought!

    300K RS equals 10K THB

    Gold sell for 72K/Baht

    Would you, when pissed, notice a sawing thread around you neck is missing?

    OP says "After returning to his hotel, he later discovered that his gold necklace, valued at approximately 300,000 Indian rupees was missing."

    So nearly USD 3,200 worth of gold.

    The chain was accessible enough for the perpetrator to undo it, not rip it from around his neck?

    But he didn't actually notice until he returned to his hotel?

    Could there possibly be a tiny bit of ingenuousness involved here? 🙄

    Never, surely! 😉😧

    Wearing gold chains at 1:30 in a sketchy area is making yourself an ideal target. Guy hopefully learned something...
