webfact Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Foreign couple robbed after taking midnight dip in Pattaya A foreign couple contacted the Pattaya police after they emerged from the sea to find their possessions missing early this morning. Iranian Sajjad Falahatpishen, 36, had entered the water for a swim with his Russian wife leaving their things on the beach. Missing was a phone valued at 30,000 baht, 1,000 baht in cash, their room key and other items. Nawin Sasomthong, 25, a mat rental vendor, said he saw a man in the immediate vicinity who may have been involved. He drove off on a Honda PCX. Police are investigating.

jacko45k Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Silly people... We don't get the crime reports we used to in the News, and considering how quiet it is in Pattaya at the moment, I would expect more petty crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbezoz Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 An Iranian with a Russian wife ! can't be many of those around ???? A witness who rents out mats, magic carpets perhaps who saw a PCX being driven - can't be many of those around either ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racket Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Sad story, imagine coming out from the water to find that your stuff are gone while stinking sewage. They will probably never come back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of recovering anything and the Police will do nothing...nothing at all...... If they purchased insurance before travelling they would need a police report to file a claim. Police just need to give them a copy of the report which can then be translated. On occasion, the cops do find the miscreants. The penalties hardly make law enforcement worthwhile though. A problem which can be transcribed to a lot of 1st world countries nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemJem Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 In such cases, it is always best to leave your precious stuff and most of your cash in your room (possibly in some spot relatively safe, such as among a pile of dirty clothes), rather than on the beach. Okay, there is also the risk of in-hotelroom-theft, but the chances are much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
