Popular Post webfact Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 By Goongnang Suksawat Pattaya – A group of foreigners seemingly working together allegedly stole two mobile phones from a guesthouse in Pattaya. Mrs. Siriwan Sangaroon, 43, a staffer of a guesthouse in Soi Pattaya Sai Song 9 in Nongprue, Banglamung filed a report to the Pattaya City Police Saturday (November 5th). She told police that there were two foreigners possibly from the Middle East asking her to have a look at a room on the 3rd floor of her guest house yesterday. However, they did not book the room. They said the room was too small before they left. She later found out that two mobile phones charging at the guest house reception counter worth 9,500 baht and 15,000 baht had disappeared.

Easy said. Better think about investing in some security. Simple things like a locked compartment at reception. Of course an open desk should not be left alone.
