An old German tourist arrived at Pattaya police station to report a theft clad only in his one piece.

 

Faing Em Sahai, 77, had been swimming and returned to find all his possessions gone. Missing were a watch,  phone, cash and the rest of his clothes he had deposit in a bag while he took a dip.

 

Speaking through an interpreter he said: "It's a good thing I still have my undies - otherwise I'd really be up scheisse creek".

 

Worse news followed - the CCTV was not working.

 

Fortunately a witness saw the thief - the field of suspects was thus narrowed down to a Thai man aged about 30.

A Thai man aged about 30, good information. I can add that he had black hair and brown eyes!

...and not too much in his unterhose. 

 

And he was most certainly not Thai, but Burmese or Cambodian!

That's not news.

Almost caught with his pants down!!!

Bye bye wallet . The German must have been living in the past , back in the 70's when he probably visited for the first time it was a lot safer.  

[chickenslegs]

The German guy is a doppelganger for Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart).

Hats off to the gentleman, he looks in good shape at 77.

I hope he gets some help from the authorities, and his belongings back soon.

[Henrik Andersen]

Thai nooooo sure Cambodia man Thai people not do crime ?

CCTV please 

[brucegoniners]

So the guy left his stuff on Pattaya beach and was surprised he got ripped off? Why didn’t he just hand his stuff to the thief?

[Lupatria]

Looks like another tough weekend and OT for the TAT spin doctors to come up with news articles like: “The honest cabby of the month” etc.

Quality !!.

But only a few days ago some "big-knob" said tourists would have far more protection. 

More "hot-air" nonsense. 

So, why was the CCTV not working ?

With all due respect, the gentleman involved was grossly negligent. Even in Germany one would not leave his bag containing cloths, a watch, money etc. lying around in, when going for a short swim. In all probability, such bag would have disappeared in Germany as well, as im most other countries. I do hope that he is insured with a very generous insurer....

[lonewolf99]

Not sure if insurance policies cover being negligent with your important pocessions....in a 3rd world country.........

I nearly typed Trump's apt description of "some other nations".

Judging by his name he must be originally from one of the countries where thieves have their hand chopped off, so maybe he thought that the whole world would be safe. What a rude awakening!

[shackleton]

Would have thought this was a easy one 

just look for the young Thai guy wearing his missing clothes and watch 

there you are problem solved 

[visacrack]

A german called - Faing Em Sahai? Maybe a multcult german.

I also agree, much better shape than the majority of senior expats with beer bellies walking around Pattaya Beach. Just goes to show even at advanced age if you can eat sensibly and exercise you can look and feel good if no major health problems prevent you from working out.

And it's never too late to change your old habits. Stop drinking beer every night, walk a few miles , eat more salad and less fatty food,. You'll be surprised how your body will change over a few years.

[Swedenlars]

Faing Em Sahai . German tourist ? Are you kidding me.

With a name like this, you would think him coming from Belgium...

 

Anyway, no one seems to have noticed the true miracle here...the guy survived swimming at Pattaya Beach, where most fish can't!

Also collecting exotic bacterias in Pattaya Beach's waters may help keeping courageous (suicidal?) swimmers skinny, that is until only the bones are left...
