Pattaya police have arrested a ladyboy who stole money from a British tourist’s pocket. Pattaya police were hunting for the ladyboy who allegedly stole money from the pockets of the British man in Pattaya City along Walking Street this week.

 

Police continued their investigation to track down the suspect after the British man made an official complaint, including security footage as evidence. Police have now arrested 29 year old ladyboy Wilart ‘Nan Soi 8’ Wongsuwan at her room in South Pattaya.

 

She told police she had been unemployed and was drunk at the time of the crime. She admitted to fleecing the British man and removing 20,000 baht from the man’s pockets. She told police she had spent all the money. She faces charges of ‘night theft’, according to the Pattaya Police.

I hope they don't show "leniency" and throw him in jail for a good few years. Doubt it, but one can always hope...

Night theft carries a higher penalty.

[mercman24]

of course thay always say, i spent the money, no way would He have spent 20,000 in two days, need to search HIS ROOM  but they wont, just take the lying pos word for it, anything found should be given to the Tourist guy as compensation,

Why is no one pointing at the ladyboy? I just don't think they are taking this serious enough.

[wisperone]

How many thai police does it take to arrest a ladyboy...

[Destiny1990]

Nice swift arrest.

The LB was quite professional so definitely wasn’t the first time to roll a drunk tourist.

Are they going to re-enact the crime, where the ladyboy stuffs his/her hand down the pants of some volunteer policeman?

 

Hope they hang the he/she by the nuts, if it has any?

Different punishments applied in Thai law, a deterrent idea that obviously does not work. 

Here is a phrase we hear ad nauseam! 'I hope he/she/it will be put away for a long time. No, it will be back thieving shortly.

Still, well done the police catching the criminal quickly, probably a regular down at the station.

What she meant to say was she had no customers for a while so took to theft!

A small fine & he'll be back on the streets again.

[Cereal]

It's pretty easy for a person to spend 20,000 baht in 2 days. Man, my wife can blow through that in 2 hours! But seriously, 1 gold bracelet / ring / necklace....

With "night theft", you clearly get the "feel up" bonus from a ladyboy.

You don't have to be thick nor clever to be horny and like women. (And maybe those other things).

I counted ELEVEN.  No wonder taxi drivers are free to exploit tourists!  No wonder there are so many red light runners; drunk drivers; road deaths; Pattaya Plod are too busy having their photo taken.

Stealing at night is a more serious crime in Thai law.

[high plane drifter]

Well the LB must be thinking he is being picked on, nether been arrested nor his mates, been doing it there for years, locals just watch on and laugh, police turn a blind eye.

 

It was there 20 years ago, it happened to me, but there again I only had less than 2k (THB), the biggest loss was the time spent cancelling one of my credit cards.

[crazykopite]

Wants the difference between night they and daytime theft ? 

[Thinkingallowed]

"Police have now arrested 29 year old ladyboy Wilart ‘Nan Soi 8’ Wongsuwan at her room in South Pattaya".

I wonder if he/she collects expensive watches?

[Date Masamune]

He stopped to talk to a ladyboy,  Why?

Just keeping walking and mind your pockets no problem.

And what did she,him buy .

[alien365]

I imagine it's gonna be a small fine, but if he's stolen 20k the fine has to be over 20k in order to make him out of pocket. Anything less and the crime has clearly paid.

That’s how these guys get pick pocketed, except for the aggressive “I go with you” ones who grab your arm to distract you while another one of her hand grabs for your goods!

One tried that on me I did a hop-skip and slapped the hand away. Don’t repsond to them , don’t antagonize them, just nod your head or smile faintly and keep moving. Our Brit was probably up for a bit of the “rumpty-tumpty”.
