Wow! When I read the article, I thought the woman who confessed to stealing it was at fault! Thanks for showing me that it wasn't her fault at all, and not only was it was completely justifiable, but it was actually the tourist's fault! BTW- everything stolen in this case was safer in the hotel room, even if she had left the door unlocked and put out a welcome mat. Do you have any idea how many robberies/thefts there are around the clock in Pattaya? Every few days or a week a snatch and grab or pickpocket or assault with theft makes the news. And that's only when the police catch the suspect (otherwise, the authorities squash it before it tarnishes the good image of this safe and family friendly beach paradise). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind leaves cash and jewelry in a hotel room? Even keeping it in a hotel's safe isn't 'safe' given that here in Thailand the hotel's liability is some fraction of the amount stolen. You keep your valuables on you. You don't leave them in a room or in a hotel safe unless you have your own insurance that will cover you in case of theft. "Keep your valuables on you", what? Walking around in Pattaya? Jesus Christ, dude! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"stupid her".. "brainless she".. "idiot who leaves valuables in room".. I can smell the stink of jealousy and resentment in these keyboard warriors as they spitefully type and type and type and type their comments here. I certainly get it. Some of you can't afford to buy diamonds and jewellery. There is no need to malign Ms Nguyen for her loss. She left a "do not disturb" sign on the door. She is entitled to decide whether or not to leave her valuables and documents in her room and to expect the implied privacy of a do not disturb sign. Labeling her stupid, negligent or an idiot is uncalled for. My thoughts exactly. Worse yet, they think it is perfectly safe to wear the jewelry and carry the documents in her designer bag and just frolic around in Pattaya of all places. Yeah, it's not like there are daily assaults, thefts, snatch and runs, or picked pockets happening every five minutes there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's her in the picture , we can always meet for a cup of tea. Vietnamese American lady with money to spend. Let's hook up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I posted a link saying according to Agoda it is, now can you please post your link showing it isn't? Next, according to police reports, it is! quote;- Thai woman has confessed to stealing valuables worth almost 500,000 baht from an American tourist in Pattaya. Pimsiri Boonchu, 26, was working as a maid at the Vogue Hotel in Pattaya Klang when she committed the theft earlier this month. American Tracy Nguyen, 48, told police how she had put the ‘do not disturb’ sign before leaving her room at the hotel on 4 August. link:- https://www.agoda.com/vogue-pattaya/hotel/pattaya-th.html?checkin=2018-09-04&los=1&adults=1&rooms=1&cid=1744576&tag=be06577d-5d0b-b4da-3c77-e626bae068e3&searchrequestid=2b788dd2-438e-42af-8af3-584caa8ad038#nohash BestB, So please enlighten us poor misguided fools where we read it wrong and give us your famous ' clue ' which will be ' so much better ' Also, the term Klang in Thai refers to central or centre. It is not a specific location. ents กึ่ง geungL half; middle; midway; semi- กลาง glaangM the middle; the center synonym ตรงกลาง dtrohngM glaangM in the center; in the middle example จุดกึ่งกลาง jootL geungL glaangM midpoint; intermediate point Edited August 27, 2018 by Scouse123 addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings to mind the famous scene in Goodfellas, post- Lufthansa heist. 'What's wrong witchyu?' ...I'm not sure who the bigger imbecile is, the maid or the tourist!

True. That could easily happen. But it does not. Most of these crimes are crimes of opportunity. They see it, and they take it. Out of sight, out of mind. If it is well hidden, nobody is going to steal a suitcase. The would have to know there are valuables or alot of cash inside. In the decades of travel, I have used the luggage lock system, and never once has a bag been broken into, nor a bag stolen. It works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fortunate that she had a second passport available with an entry stamp to enable her to depart legally........ Idiotic post. So would you stay in Thailand forever if you ever had your passport stolen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
