webfact Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Thief chased down by boxer as Thai lady gets her phone back Picture: Daily News A thief at Union Mall in northern Bangkok picked the wrong place to steal a lady's phone. Working on some wiring next door was an out of work professional boxer who saw the theft and gave chase. Dechdin Sornsirirsuphathin, 28 - known in boxing circles as "Petch Singkhorn" - dashed after the thief. The chase continued out of the mall to half way along Lat Prao Soi 1 when the thief finally ran out of puff and surrendered. "If he hadn't have stopped I would have knocked him out", said the hero of the hour who has competed in cage fighting tournaments in Thailand and Singapore. Later investigating officer Pol Lt Col Somphop Nambanthit of the Pahonyothin station presided over a ceremony in which the boxer handed back the Samsung phone to Sisisa Dermma, 33, who had left her property on the counter of the Unlock IT shop that she owns. Thief Somsak "Boy" Satipha, 32 is in custody. He said he needed money to pay his rent. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2018-05-23 Source: Daily News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dcpo Posted May 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I know that guy. He's a machine. Works full time, and still trains as hard as anyone. I'm glad he didn't get stabbed or something.

BangkokBaksida Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 "Thief Somsak "Boy" Satipha, 32 is in custody. He said he needed money to pay his rent. " Did Somsak consider the possibility that his victim also had rent to pay? Anyway, at least he doesn't have to worry about paying HIS rent now. (I am assuming that it is not necessary to pay rent while staying in a Thai jail, although I suppose anything is possible in Thailand.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
