Korean tourist reports 25,000 baht theft in Pattaya

She (or maybe he) are likely known to the police, so I hope they soon make an arrest.

This could never happen.

But it seems this never happens the most. 😘

I'm sorry, but for some reason I found myself chuckling a bit--what, exactly, did the drunk boob think he was going to find when he woke up? Because of the chuckling, I'm unable to boo hoo.

"Lim said he met the woman, whose name he does not know, at an entertainment venue on Walking Street in South Pattaya on 10 September. He said he had been drinking and was intoxicated when the woman approached him."

Now he admitted he was intoxicated, so what did he think was going to happen?🤣

Her behaviour doesn't look suspicious. She was in no hurry to vacate the scene of the alleged crime. She is either innocent or very cool.🤔

She doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry for someone who's allegedly just nicked and is carrying B25,000 stolen cash

The CCTV shows her leaving very nonchalantly (with no attempt to hide her face that was clearly visible in all the CCTV) and then, oddly, hanging around the entrance of the hotel and talking to someone, presumably, a security guard. I'd have thought that that anyone in possession of a large amount of stolen money would want to leave the area as soon as possible and not draw any attention to themselves. Perhaps she's more innocent than she's being given credit for.

Pattaya: Terms and conditions may apply. 😂😂

Indeed- but the video suggests she is young, slim and wearing a short skirt so I am sure she will quickly be found in Pattaya

Never mind. The hotel has a copy of her ID. Doesn't it?🤫

He must have been to drunk to remember. It's 25000 baht for overnight.

Yes the Sth Korean was naive but the evil perpetrator was the woman and deserves the maximum charge. She stole the money and it wasn't peanuts. Besides she was not in a rush, as stated. Most likely she has done this many times and a woman rushing off from a hotel attracts security attention plus the guy at that time was most likely in deep sleep and totally wasted.

I thought they (hotel) use to keep the ID until

Both came down or the hotel called up to see if resident was okay? Been awhile since I’ve been to Pattaya

Nah.....depends very much on both the hotel and who happens to be on the desk.

That is what is supposed to happen. The reality, apparently, is different. Seems that there are hotels that just don't care. Which is okay I suppose, as what happens between the hotel guest and their guest's 'guest' isn't their responsibility.
