Pattaya —A Thai transgender woman was arrested on Sunday by Pattaya police after stealing a gold necklace worth more than 300,000 baht from a Swiss tourist.


The arrest came after Mr. Philippe Bocion, a 60-year-old tourist from Switzerland, reported the theft of his 10-baht-weight gold necklace, valued at over 332,000 baht, around 01:30 AM on January 20th, 2024.

 

According to his statement, Mr. Philippe was approached by the suspect, later identified as Sunthorn Huajaiphet, 28, while exploring Pattaya’s night scenes. The suspect attempted to hug and touch him, prompting him to lightly push her away. Upon later inspection however, Mr. Philippe discovered that his expensive gold necklace, which he had been wearing around his neck, had been stolen. Confident that the suspect who hugged him was the perpetrator, he promptly reported the incident to the Pattaya police and cooperated with their investigation.

 

Pattaya police, led by police chief Pol. Col. Navin Teerawit, immediately launched a serious investigation into the incident. On the following day, January 21st, authorities apprehended Sunthorn, the suspect, at the front of Centric Sea Condominium on Pattaya Second Road. Seized from her was one 2-baht-weight gold necklace worth 68,000 baht, three gold bracelets worth 68,000 baht, 34,000 baht, and 35,500 baht, and twenty 1,000-baht banknotes, totaling 20,000 baht.

Someone who walks around Pattaya with near 5oz of gold strung around their neck at 1.30am needs their head examining. 

Similar in London now, but the target is $10,000+ watches, like a Rolex! They have serial numbers etc, but there is still a market.

That's what you wake up with after they have taken off there wig, fake boobs, dress and the hangover is thumping in the morning

Well, I was thinking similar EXCEPT it was 'what was shown to you by the police as a suspect'.... wouldn't recognize IT  from Adam!

That is not a transgender woman, it is a man most likely dressed in women's clothes. Todays society has gone bonkers with the political correct agenda. In future I think I would like to identify as a lemon popsicle, or maybe a burrito......:smile:

I have a second sister named BurritoBoy

Did they recover the 10 baht chain worth bt332.000 then ? 

Were the items seized from her (it) the proceeds of the night's work ?

Anyone else missing some "bling" . Ahmed ?
