Doing something worst. Theft is a very serious crime, so let's hope that this guy won't take somebody's I Phone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afyer all the mentioned gym belongs to an hotel Could be true, I suspect a hotel gym would not want any publicity about members stealing things, could make other gym members / hotel guests uneasy about using the gym - things get stolen here.

He never did it before and I think he just wanted to feel cool in somehow by breaking the rule. Small thefts many people have been through. I know the law in Thailand takes everything serious when it comes to theft but however I believe deporting or banning a person to enter the kingdom for a small crime it is way too much. Anyway, he regrets what he's done. The debt has been paid and supposedely the gym didn't take any action for it ( they know where I live, I believe the police would have already showed up otherwise) You shouldn't be worried, but have a word with him and tell him that he's also bringing you in danger. If it had been an expensive phone from a government official, it would be totally different. Theft in Thailand is a serious crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieroaming Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well he is young, made a mistake and has paid a price. Give him the benefit of the doubt and if he does it again then you know he has issues. There is nothing cool about stealing. I would make him go back to the gym and face the people and apologise. Thats a lesson not easily forgotten and not pleasant but a healthy way to confront his mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) " He learned the lesson " Any chance you will tell us what lesson he learned? Look out for CCTV, you can buy your way out of trouble, my relatives will fix it? Just wondering, they are all valid lessons in Thailand. My advice is ask him what he's learned, just to make sure you both are on the same track.

Wake Up Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We all have made stupid mistakes in judgment. This could turn out to be a good lesson for him without heavy consequences. I am a firm believer that good people sometimes do stupid things and regret it and don’t repeat it. If the club wanted anything else they would have called the police IMO.

Today I'll take him back to the gym to apologie for what he did.

jacko45k Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Very unlikely indeed there will be anything further. And he was fortunate the police were not involved as that would only have cost more money. He has received one of life's lessons, got off lightly, and hopefully will be all the better for it.

Just to let you know any way, I turn an eye blind when I know a customer steals a bottle from the minibar or in that range, or when an employee steals some food from the breakfast room. Of course if something from the room would be missing I would take the thing seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In every hotel I have stayed, upon checking out, the front desk sends housekeeping to the room in order to take inventory and then the final bill is tallied.

If I chase a customer and catch it had something from the minibar that it didn't declare we may make it feeling uncomfortable and the said customer may badly review the hotel in other regards (bad customer service, no decent breakfast etc...) and this review can potentially cause a loss of money (someone who wants to book the hotel reads the review and decide at the end not to because of the bad feedback). Harmless thing yes, stealing is never good, sometime you have to go through it to understand it. No talking about this any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matptg Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hi everyone, we just went to the gym, he asked forgiveness to the clerk for what he did and thank the girl for not calling out the police. He only asked me no to take off his sunglasses during it. At the end of it he gave a tip to the girl too. Thank you all for your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest cutting his hand off at the wrist just to make sure he realises that not everyone is so understanding. As he probably has two hands, he will learn his lesson yet still be able to write his name etc. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Even if your post is meant to be a joke it isn't at all funny. Edited April 26, 2018 by freebyrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
