Pattaya police have once again demonstrated their commitment to helping visitors feel safe and secure while enjoying their time in Thailand. Recently, a Russian tourist lost her iPhone 12 Pro Max while exploring a Pattaya temple, but thanks to the efforts of local law enforcement, she was reunited with her phone.

 

According to the Pattaya Police Facebook page, the tourist, Ms. Diana Khairullina, was out exploring the Khao Phra Yai temple on March 18th. The woman placed her iPhone with a blue/white case on the temple’s wall to take a picture and then forgot it. When she realized her phone was missing, she retraced her steps but was unable to find it, so she filed a report with Pattaya Police.

 

The officers acted swiftly, using CCTV footage to track down anyone who might have spotted and taken Ms. Khairullina’s phone. Then, police traced their way to a Thai woman, Ms. Naphatsakon Thipprachum, who was seen in the footage taking the phone.

The Police put in a lot of effort to trace a phone.

Any suggestions as to why from the esteemed AN membership ?

To be fair, they did have some assistance from the finder posting it on fayboo.

As the reputation of Thai police sinks ever lower on a daily basis expect more of these stories with photogenic 'victims'.  It is rumoured that Pattaya Plod have hired a theatrical agent to cast these hopefuls.

Well done to Ms Nap who also appears not to trust the cops by handing it in, instead put it on FB.

How did they trace their way to Ms Nap from CTV did they call the number, or FB. ?
