Daily News Thai Caption: Prostitutes' star attractions

 

A Russian and an Indian man are the latest victims of theft perpetrated by Beach Road prostituites in Pattaya on Thailand's eastern seaboard.

 

The Russian was assailed by ladyboys and the Indian had a phone stolen from his room.

 

The thefts totalling almost 140,000 baht were reported to the Muang Pattaya constabulary within minutes, reported Daily News. 

 

First up to tell Pol Capt Chanon Katebua what happened on a stroll on the beach was 31 year old Ivan I. from Russia.

He said he was out for a peaceful perambulation of the beach area when he was accosted by two ladies packing what British tourists refer to as "meat and two veg".

 

Despite Mr Ivan I. being adamant that he did not want a service in his room the ladyboys persisted in their lewd attentions. 

 

Finally he managed to break free of their caresses only to realise too late that he had been relieved of his 120,000 baht golden necklace.

A glance back and it was evident that the thieves had melted into the background. 

 

Within moments Capt Chanon had another case.

This time it was Indian national Mr Sekar M,, 29, who said that he had had a liaison with a Beach Road prostitute that had continued back in his room.

 

When the deed was done so was Mr Sekar M. - the girl had lifted his 18,400 baht Huawei phone. 

 

Capt Chanon took all the particulars as local investigative forces prepared to swing into action on behalf of the let down tourists.

Prostitutes robbing tourists in Pattaya?

Is this a new thing because I was under the impression that we were told by the police that there is no prostitution in family friendly Pattaya.

Must be an error.
120Baht I guess.

 

 

[RafPinto]

The Indians now not more getting their necklaces stolen. Next scam is "mobile phones".

Probably the Russians now taken over the "necklace" insurance scam.

[Rhys]

Send the WEED promoter to save the day.

Nobody goes for a stroll on a "beach" in Pattaya......31 and 29 years old!!!   Russian and Indian.

 

You have gone into the Devil's Den and then complain about bad things????

 

I want to wear 2,000,000 in gold and go to Pattaya to see if anyone will try to rob me.   I've watched enough Ninja YouTube videos to be ready.

Even during my first visits to Pattaya in the 1980's I became aware that the pavement (sidewalk) along the beach side was a crime hotspot, and it still is. Lots of dark recesses and palm trees for crims to hide behind Best avoided after dark.!

Few foreign nationals work with the police as interpreters. Some do specific work and they are G2G liaison officers.

[billsmart]

Being a Yank, I had to look up the phrase "a meat and two veg." ????

[Skallywag]

Rule #1, do not take anything to Pattaya you are not willing to give up.  Necklaces, money, your virginity!  Everything in your life will eventually be Paid Forward in your pursuit of Short time pleasures.

These robbery stories getting old, let us hear about foreigners who actually marry these ladies and end up losing houses, condos, cars, and their sanity...i.e. Long time!  5555

[Photoguy21]

Who in their right mind wear a 4 Baht chain with presumably could be seen by everyone anywhere in the world let alone Pattaya?

[Xonax]

What is the police doing, since these robberies takes place on a daily basis for years and years.

[hellohello123]

There is at least one daily article of a hooker robbing a tourist AND one of a Russian robbing someone......

 

Who's coming out in front?

[TheFishman1]

If the police down they wanted to do anything they could be trolling and walk in that area but obviously they’re too busy solving other crimes that pay them a lot more money   TIT

Best to rely on yourself or have a friend with you.  I saw a brutal fight in the daytime on the south side of Central festival on Beach road promenade just 50 meters from police station.  Fight finally broken up after 10 minutes by local Thai beach vendors and local Thai people, police never showed up.  When people talk about no enforcement in Pattaya, they are not kidding IMO

[CANSIAM]

A good chance bad things can happen when browsing for the 400-500 baht street side company......

[Aussieroaming]

The Indian will be fined for ruining the good name of Pattaya by inferring that the hooker was a prostitute, when we all know that prostitutes don't exist in Pattaya.

 

The Russian probably stole his gold from an honest Ukrainian, Slava Ukraine.

Bangkok Post has a much better picture of the Russian showing where he was "groped."

Wretched place to visit.

[spidermike007]

Anyone wearing valuable gold, watches, or jewelry out on the streets of Pattaya at night, towards the end of a 2 year long pandemic which has seen unemployment, and homelessness skyrocketing, and incomes plummeting, has to be considered a fool, and does not have my sympathy.

Darwin was right. The theory of natural selection, means we all have to exhibit certain survival skills, and common sense, to thrive in this world. Self protection is just one of those skills. Some have it, some do not. Those who do not are prey for the darker spirits who live like vampires, feeding on the misfortune of others.

The festering armpit of Thailand.

[dogfish180]

Hey Ivan, what are you doing in Pattaya? Tought Putin needs you for his draft! Hurry home now!

[John Drake]

For Mr. Sekar, it might have been worth the price of the phone to let the robbery go and keep his picture out of the papers. Imagine his friends back home will have field day with this.
