Do you know this woman? - Chiang Mai police step up hunt for murderer targeting foreign men

 

Picture: MCOT

 

The first pictures of a woman aged about 50, suspected of putting drugs in the coffee of two tourists, has emerged.

 

MCOT showed CCTV footage of the woman dressed in a long sleeved black top.

 

The first victim who was an Indian died. The second was an American. His stolen credit card was used to purchase diamond jewelry that MCOT said amounted to "several million baht".

 

The news media said that it was not known if she was Thai or a foreigner herself. A warrant is being prepared.

 

MCOT said that she befriended the second victim in a bar before asking for his phone number. She then later arranged to meet him in his room before slipping drugs into his drink.

 

A Virginia driving license was shown on TV in the name of 45 year old Bhat Tario Ahmad.

What cc he had. And how thai woman can buy few mil jewelry on a american man named cc, shop owner should be done for fraud too. Money laudering.

[Darcula]

It's too late. She looks completely different now, wearing all that jewelry.

[happy chappie]

What about arresting the gold shop fagan that buy anything that's stolen and allow a Thai woman spend millions of baht on an American mans card....

I know someone who was drugged in Bangkok on the taxi ride to his apartment with tainted potato chips, which put him to sleep in his own room.  Awoke finding his credit cards gone, cash gone, phone gone. The thief exited past the security guard and into the night.  Then the thief rang up 20,000 thb charges each card at Tesco.  Maybe a friendly cashier or maybe just the way foreign credit card charges are handled here.    I've noticed that no cashier checks foreign credit cards - neither  the names on the cards or to match signatures between back of card and sales receipt when ringing up a sale.  If the card charge goes through on the terminal and you scrawl something into the signature line of the receipt, sale is complete.  Fait accompli.

If you really have to take a stranger into your home, use a safe for your wallet and phone the moment you enter.

You'd think the cashier would check it's a foreigner holding the foreign card.

Anyone using a card should have their photo taken by the store.

I would have described her as a chubby housewife with short hair.

Who in their right mind would take a woman looking like that back to their room?

On the drivers license she is wearing a beard.

[Easy Come Easy Go]

She doesn't look Thai, she looks more like she may be Filipino or maybe even Japanese.. It's hard to tell from one grainy image though.. However, on the subject of being pretty, nope lol 

[milwaukeeboy]

At the end of the clip they depict her in "thug life" glasses.

It is easy to set spending/withdrawal limits on your cards. I guess most would be the same as mine in that you can reset the limit online if you need to spend big.

[NextStationBangkok]

It is pretty bad! ?

 

Hope they will nab her pretty soon. ?

[ThailandLOS]

Seriously? He paid for that skank?

 

Times must be really tough on the hooker scene.

[chippendale]

How could that ghastly, repugnant and hideous tomboy seduce her victims? They must have been horribly drunk and desperate to begin with.

[Lupatria]

Isn’t that the ‘person’ who recently opened a coffee shop in Bangkok offering Café Arabica with special Thai cancer curing herb ingredients and promising investors triple the revenue of StarBucks?

He would most likely need to call her in. "We sent other lady but give khun farrang discount na khrap"

[Lacessit]

Maybe she looked better to the victims because they were half drunk already.
