A 25-year-old woman of Thai nationality said she was robbed of her gold necklace on Wednesday night while walking on the popular Walking Street in Pattaya.

Update: The suspect was arrested late yesterday, January 11th, and a full article will be up shortly pending more details from Pattaya police.

 

Ms. Amarin Kokaew, the victim, told Pattaya police on January 10th that she was walking along Walking Street around 10:00 PM when a tall, young man on a motorcycle approached her. The man quickly reached out, grabbed her gold necklace, which weighed 1 baht and was valued at approximately 32,000 baht, before speeding away toward the Wat Chaimongkol intersection.

 

Shaken by the incident, Ms. Amarin immediately went to the Pattaya Police Station to report the robbery. She also gave a CCTV recording of the incident to investigating officer Pol Lt Saijai Kamchulla.

Motorcycle should have been pulled over as not allowed at that time there surely!

police are now on the hunt for indian men wearing new gold chains. 

Well she has a cheap boyfriend, only 1 baht, pleaseeee.

Why would anyone want to flaunt anything expensive in Pattaya?

 

 

She obviously doesn't read Asean Now Forum! 

When reading AN I always wonder why there are gold shops, because according to the members here, you are not supposed to wear any of the jewellery sold there, other than inside your own house, maybe. And even then...........

 

Could it be that most of those members never can afford gold at the current prices, and their comments are driven by envy?

For some reason, she wanted to show that she already had a boyfriend....

Nah, I think you got that a bit wrong. Most of us are trying to say, it should not be a common thing to wear when bar hopping, like on Walking Street or in such places where risks of robbery are higher. But, of course, that´s only an advise and have nothing to do with any members economic situation.

Stop wearing your bling outdoors... especially along beach road.

None of your business, and if i would give you the figure you would call me a liar or a bragger any way.

 

Point is that I don't envy people who can afford jewellery and wear it, as that is what it's intended for

See you on Beach Road! Take a walk on the wild side! 

Why was she wearing a 32k Baht chain, at 10pm, walking along Walking Street!

 

I thought a Thai would already have been educated on such a stupid idea.

Now this makes a nice change from the usual crop of victim's but sadly not for the young Thai girl...

Strange conclusion or theory you came up with. 

I can certainly afford to replace the gold necklace that was torn off my neck one day many years ago.  But the incident taught me it is a stupid thing to do, flaunt gold, in some areas and times, like Beach Rd at say 3am! 

I mean, who do I seek to impress, and why?

That alone shows that you wear jewellery for the wrong reasons

I'm sure that the 25 year old in Pattaya, covered in tattoos with a $1000 gold necklace paid for it herself through honest, decent hard work. 

She's actually a lovely young woman, perhaps a bit too trusting of her environment. Hopefully she gets her necklace back. If not, maybe a generous member here could be so kind as to replace it for her.

Maybe she was seeking a new investor    

Get the shoes, the bag and the phone as well.  30k plus the bag and phone.  She can feed a family for a year.

Did the Thai man mistake the Thai woman for a male Indian tourist somehow?

I am constantly on at my wife for wearing her gold when she is out. She ignores me, which is ok....it's her jewellery.
