Chilled! Jomtien burglar is in at the deep end....

 

Picture: Daily News

 

Acting on information received Pattaya police went to Jomtien beach where they arrested 38 year old Thanongsak Lertna near Soi 2. 

 

Plenty of Thais were on hand to say that this was the guy who had been stealing from their places this week. 

 

Among his thefts were $400, 20,000 baht and an iPhone. 

 

But one resident caught him on CCTV having a skinny dip in their pool as if he owned the place. 

 

Not surprisingly Thanongsak is now really in the deep end - he tested positive with a purple urine test at the police station. 

 

Now he will be prosecuted for burglary and drug taking.

And as about 40% of Thai's don't have a licence there ain't much checking to do !

That's part of the stretgy to check licenses.

 

Cop asks for license, driver says don't have, cop says 200Baht in my pocket and you can go. process completed in 2 minutes, very efficient in fact.

 

This routine probably happens several times an hour, nice income stream.

"Cerrado for holidays". 

 

.. translates to "Closed for holidays". I suppose his holidays are now over.

Who covers the cost of dis-infecting the pool?

I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

I suspect more people are killed by unqualified & DUI drivers than by burglars.

So why doesn't Plod get out on the road instead of static bandit points?  Pattaya ransoms driving licences at the rate of 10K an hour every hour of the day yet Chonburi is the 2nd most accident prone province in Thailand which is the 2nd most dangerous country in the World.

Hence Plod concentrating on this useless pastime - it's more lucrative than stopping speedsters/red-light runners with no effort.

Kind of funny how Thai jails are full of caught drug users, who then can buy and use drugs in jail.
