A distressing event unfolded in the early hours of today in Pattaya as a 23 year old Russian tourist, reported being mugged and assaulted by two Thai men.

 

The victim, Aleksandra Rychkova, was making her way back to her condominium after a late-night visit to a convenience store when she was brutally attacked, with her phone stolen in the process.

 

The incident occurred around 2am today near Jomtien Second Road, located in the Nongprue sub-district of the Banglamung district, Chon Buri province. Rychkova was discovered by Wanchai Chaisorn, a 28 year old security guard at a local condominium, who was the first to respond to her distress.

 

Using Google Translate to communicate, Rychkova revealed to Chaisorn that she had been brutally mugged by two men.

 

The Pattaya tourist police were immediately notified and arrived swiftly at the scene. The Russian tourist, still in a state of shock, managed to relay the horrific details of the assault. She described her attackers as Thai men who had approached her on a motorcycle.

At 2am going to buy what?

In all my life here I can't remember having bought something at 7/11 at that time?

But maybe she ran out of booze or condoms? Who knows?

But sure the 2 criminals have to be identified and fined. I doubt they still have the "expensive" phone.

I remember being robbed in Naples Italy, many years ago.

My girlfriend went to our rented car in the morning to get something, came back, in a state of panic.

'The car has been broken in, she said, and everything has been taken'.

 

I remember telling her that it was ok. She got a bit puzzled.

I said hey, they stole everything, while we were sleeping. And I thank them for that, no violence.

 

Now how come these two men could not find a way to steal a phone, without violence?

Why?

You don't seriously define the world by your own limited life experience, do you? I can't imagine not knowing that 7-11 does thriving business at 2 a.m., especially in many areas of Pattaya. I don't suppose they are open for business at that hour to lose money....
Maybe she needed to buy something for her sick infant child? Or maybe she is staying with a Thai family and the grandma is sick and needed something to help her get through the night better. Why the need to assume crap like booze or condoms? What a sadly negative and pessimistic way of thinking. I'm glad I don't have friends who automatically think the worst of things I may do at any given time that may be out of the ordinary of their personal experience....

It's open at that time of night to serve long distance travelers and pi$$ heads.
