By The Nation

 

 

A motorcyclist snatched a gold necklace worth Bt200,000 from a Chinese tourist in Pattaya in the early hours of Monday.
 

The robbery happened at 2.30am in front of the Roi Lung housing estate in Sai Thai Udom Road in Moo 5 village, Tambon Na Klua, Bang Lamung district.

 

The tourist, Jin Shuai, 33, said he was buying food from a roadside vendor when the motorcyclist snatched his necklace weighing about 9 baht or 136.44 grams.

 

The motorcyclist was wearing a full-size crash helmet so his face could not be seen.

 

Police are checking footage from security cameras to hunt for clues.

It takes a special kind of stupid to walk around with a 9 baht necklace at 230am.

No matter how rich you are here you MUST look poor at all times!

Another week and another story of a "tourist" out late at night with gold on display....do these people never learn anything about Pattaya before arriving......

Well put up some notices in all hotel rooms warning of the local bloody thieves and then the tourist will know what a cesspit it is, but cannot do that as it will give a bad name to the country which if only they crossed a border they would find out it has already got.

 

Tourists do not learn about the place because the theft/rippoff/scam side it is not promoted enough, if it was they would not come.

Police are checking CCTV cameras for one that works.  Here's a revolutionary idea: why not get police to work nights; call it a shift situation.  

How about a sting operation.   Under cover cops as tourists with fake cold necklace.
