Pattaya police recorded yet another transgender magpie thief case involving some gold and an Indian man in Sin City. This time a 39 year old transgender woman was apprehended at a condominium in Pattaya’s Nong Prue district, following allegations of theft in the middle of the night. The victim, a 40 year old Indian tourist, reported the loss of a gold bracelet worth 200,000 baht.

 

The incident occurred around 9pm yesterday in a small alley in Pattaya’s Walking Street area. The police, led by Piyapong Ensan, Deputy Director of Pattaya City Police Station, and Thananon Athipansi, a Tourist Police officer, identified Saranpat Bowornkitnusorn from CCTV footage, leading to her arrest.

 

Saranpat denied the allegations, claiming she had just woken up Kolal Avisake without stealing anything. However, police were sceptical due to her criminal history, as she was previously arrested for theft in 2020. Despite her denial, the police have proceeded with the case, reported KhaoSod.

 

During the investigation, the police reviewed the CCTV footage and found a person with a feminine appearance committing the theft near a cannabis shop on Walking Street. The police traced the suspect’s escape route and discovered that Saranpat was staying at the mentioned condominium.

Or they could always leave chatting up the trannies alone, just a thought

or the legal system could find a harsher penalty as this is a regular occurrence with ladyboys. Are these crimes not ruining the tourist trade for Thailand?

I am confused. Is this trans a woman or a man, I mean biologically?

Difficult to tell these days.

Looking at the clothes on the table, I would guess that it is a man who wants to be a woman.

Then again...........

May have been a theft but they are ALL worth 200K ? I call BS on that

You don't need to be chatting anyone up. The thing with a gold necklace is that it's visible from quite a distance, and someone walking towards you just needs to snatch it from your neck, and run, in the bilnk of an eye, it would be gone before you realise what's happened!

It seems like the Indians never learn to not carry expensive necklaces. How many times has this happened in Pattaya?

The other catch is this idiot got so drunk that he passed out in the street.  I am sorry but rolling a drunk was an easy way to make money before CCTV

i must say that red dress is absolutely stunning.

Drop the pants and find out

Go to a different town and do these jobs so no one will trace you.  Not on your own doorstep.

It could be both if a true Hermaphrodite !

{ ie. Having both sets of Genitalia }  !

Depends on how they are classified at birth  !

According to world statistics 0.017 % of the world is Hermaphrodite,

ie 68m people in Thailand equates to 11,365 Hermaphrodites !

Well, in India, they also have hijras.

So unless they don't have similar problems with them, Indians should be aware of it.

[craighj]

<deleted>, a male Indian tourist with a 200,000 Baht gold necklace, never ever happen!  

 

Female India with a load of gold yep I believe, male never!!!

You think you are confused,….just think about the trans themselves.

[Kabuta]

must have been some bracelet for 200k ?

[captpkapoor]

First time newbies come on cheap package tours to Thailand, no one has warned them about the dangers of too good looking to be true transgenders, especially in Pattaya. 

A lot of Indian men do wear gold chains, it's a bit of a macho and status symbol thing.

Bu, overall, this country is no longer the LOS it used to be.

They only tolerate foreigners for the money they bring in.

Why do Ladyboys, Indians and Gold, and sausage, egg and chips always seem to go together so well?
