snoop1130 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Vietnamese thieves and pickpockets blamed for damaging Thai tourism Thai Rath columnist Plueng Payak wrote about the arrest of two female Vietnamese slash thieves and pickpockets who were nabbed in operations led by crime buster "Big Joke" Pol Maj Gen Surachet Hakpal. The columnist said that the Vietnamese were arrested in front of Yim Yim Place in Din Daeng. They were named as Ngian Tee Hoei, 56, and Lei Tee Tu Hian, 34. They targeted tourists at sites in Bangkok because visitors to Thailand were less likely to report theft and would go home before they could press charges. Hian did the stealing and Hoei did the fencing and provided accommodation to the gang. The names are likely to be false. Both women had been arrested before but simply went back home to Vietnam and changed their names and returned to continue their thieving ways. Pleung Payak said their actions were damaging for Thai tourism as the victims of such crime would post negative things about Thailand on social media and cause the country's image to be tarnished. Maj Gen Surachet has blamed gangs from several neighboring countries for preying on tourists in Thailand.

He should take a visit to some of the local jails where he will find Thais arrested for theft far, far outnumber the foreigners. Very typical though to blame all the countries woes on the neighbours. Maybe that is why he is called a big joke. Thais never do anything to offend tourists do they? Edited June 19, 2018 by ThreeEyedRaven 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) 'Big Joke' needs to stuck into his own country's perpetrators of every Tourist Scam ever imagined and thought up by the 'Innovative' idea's of his own countrymen. I've been to more than 100 countries and can say without doubt that Thai's are some of the worst thieves and scammers on the Planet. While he's at it he perhaps he would like to instill some shame into them too about the way they trash their own country in every way possible for a Human Being to do so !

I have had several things stolen from me in Thailand over the years. In some cases it was proven by the tourist police that the perpetrator (was) Thai, in other incidents I either know, or strongly suspect that the perpetrators were Thai. Not once, in 20 years, (most probably) have I had things stolen from me by foreign thieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
