Pattaya police say they know who has Hong Kong "actor's" bag after lady boy fracas

Pattaya's police chief re-interviewed the man who says he is a Hong Kong celebrity and lost his bag containing a million baht's worth of valuables after a fracas with four lady boys in Walking Street last week. 

 

Vincent Chen, 32, had gone to the media to complain that his bag that contained cash, a Rolex, gold and other items totaling over a million baht was still missing. 

 

On Sunday he apologized to the cops for blaming them saying that he misunderstood what they said about the investigation due to communication problems. 

 

Daily News reported that his latest claim about what was actually in the bag was at odds with his initial assessment. 

 

He is now saying that he is not all that worried about the contents of the bag but needed his passport and phone so that he could go back to Hong Kong to attend a moon festival celebration with his family today. 

 

He told Pattaya police chief Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch that he had been drinking but was not out of it. He came to Thailand for tourism with one eye on returning to the country to do some filming at a later date. 

 

Pol Col Apichai said that four lady boys were fined after the fight but a search of their respective premises showed they had not stolen the bag containing the valuables. 

 

But he indicated that police knew who had the bag and they would be in custody soon. 

 

Daily News said that Vincent Chen goes by the nickname Chenny. He told police that he had appeared in many films alongside stars and was now a TV presenter on a Hong Kong channel and "made appearances at restaurants". 

 

Thaivisa notes that a Google search of the celebrity's name turns up very little. In fact it turns up nothing which is unusual for a celebrity.

before being turned away as porkie pie telling , time wasting , wannabe celebrity .. 

[tifino]

if he wasn't then.......  he certainly expects this free advertising to put a new spotlight upon him back home 

 

 

either that? or he was trying out a bit of free casting couch practice on them? 

 

 

he seemed to be most attracted to the one in gold; who's 'bags may have been a single baht weight in silicon, that he lost a grip from ...

 

 

at the end he seemed to be making an offer, that the katoey felt to be above of!

Thailand's reputation as a place to borrow Rolexes from the dead has travelled far and wide!
