Jonathan Fairfield Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Pattaya hotel cashier arrested for allegedly stealing 2,000 euros from guest By The Nation Police on Friday arrested the cashier of a Pattaya hotel for allegedly stealing 2,000 euros (Bt76,000) from a Finnish tourist and Bt10,000 from the hotel. Pattaya police chief Pol Col Apichai Krobphet said Sureeporn Soonthaisong was arrested under a warrant issued by the Pattaya Court. Sureeporn worked as a cashier at the front office of the Thepthip Hotel near Khao Phra Tamnak in South Pattaya when she allegedly committed the thefts on Tuesday. Police said the Finnish tourist rented a security locker at the counter to deposit 2,000 euros in cash but Sureeporn somehow switched the key with the key to another box and stole the cash late at night. She also stole Bt10,000 from the cashier's machine, police say. Police arrested her at her room not far from the hotel.

bbi1 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 "Sureeporn worked as a cashier at the front office of the Thepthip Hotel near Khao Phra Tamnak in South Pattaya when she allegedly committed the thefts on Tuesday." I thought naming and shaming businesses or a person in any way is against thai law and potential for a defamation lawsuit. Wonder why The Nation can get away with mentioning the business?

With cash, credit cards or any valuables you do not leave them laying around in the room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With cash, credit cards or any valuables you do not leave them laying around in the room. not only in Asia. I put a bunch of travelers' cheques in a rather nice and reputable Hotel's safe, closed and taped the envelope. next day checked, envelope all good, bunch of travellers' cheques inside. A few days after went to cash some cheques and noticed that the serial number sequence was interrupted, counted, and about 15 were missing: 1500 $ was (and is) a lot of money in rural Africa. The soon-to-be-great-again-country express traveller cheques company refunded the missing cheques. So, the small amount of premium paid was well spent ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Not really newsworthy; let the cashier face the music, lock her up and close the file. Possibly a lesson learnt - most likely not though ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Over the years I have never had anything stolen from any security box. I go back and forth as to whether I prefer the boxes to be behind the counter where they are in more view of more people and one person stealing would be hard, or if I prefer the boxes that are say on the side of the entrance, where less people go, but also less people see it. I have only stayed in country for like 2 months at a time so I never had much more thatn 3 or 4 K USD in there, my spare credit and debit card, my US Phone ( I use a thai cell when traveling), and a few other nick knacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanista Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Its a grubby looking hotel. Is it one of those cheap overnight (bargirl) hotels? The security boxes dont look secure at all. Anyone could climb inside. You get what you paid for. No thanks. Edited October 8, 2018 by lanista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingjock Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I shed a we bit of sympathy here, it must be difficult for poor people that handle money being able to resist stealing. But this Also happens with the white collar workers in the western world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
