An ex-honor roll student who couldn’t find a job was arrested for snatching a foreigner’s purse in Pattaya, police said in a press conference today.

 

Police tracked down the 27-year-old graduate, only identified as Jakkapong, via CCTV footage and identified him as the thief who stole a bag from a male foreigner while he was having a coffee at Grand Hall Market in South Pattaya on Nov. 17.

 

Jakkapong was arrested yesterday at Chaimongkol Temple. Police found the victim’s bag, wallet, Samsung phone, credit card, and passport in his possession, along with the clothes matching the suspect in the CCTV, Sanook reported.

So he's been caught red-handed with the stolen items yet he isnt being prosecuted and doesnt even have to show his face? That's a real deterrent to both the thief and anyone else considering doing the same thing.

 

Of course, if they did actually prosecute all the thieves it could tie up the courts and jails for several decades.

I checked the full story - no where is there any mention of punishment.  The thief is obviously the son of the fat cop whose knee he is sat on; hence the privilege of keeping his helmet on so he is not identified in the newspaper story.

Thailand and Justice is an oxymoron.

Too bad most of the foreigners here don't know the wai culture. The foreign guy is giving the Thai crook a high wai, which shows more respect than the kinda low wai the Thai guy is giving. Much can be told by a wai... just like a handshake can tell much about who you are shaking hands with.

 

Personally I would have used the middle finger...
