Samui, Surat Thani – A thief from Phuket was arrested after he stole from foreign tourists valuables worth a total value of 127,000 baht at a hotel on Samui Island.


The Bo Phut Police told the Phuket Express earlier this week that they arrested Mr. Prayat Lisem, 44, from Phuket. Seized from him was a stolen Louise Vuitton bag, Pinko bag, Versace bag, diamond earrings, 25,000 Baht in cash, and four credit cards. He is facing charges of night theft.

 

The arrest came after a Polish tourist couple, aged 32 and 30, filed a report to Thai police. They told the police that they were sleeping in a room at a hotel near the Baan Lamai Beach in Maret sub-district, Samui district when an unidentified thief stole many items from them.

So this thief got some "cajones" to go into the room while they were sleeping....

Seized from him was a stolen Louise Vuitton bag, Pinko bag, Versace bag, diamond earrings, 25,000 Baht in cash, and four credit cards. He is facing charges of night theft.

 

Didn't know Louis Vuitton had a sister... 

 

And I wonder if the punishment is more severe for night theft vs day theft. Strange framing of charges. A bit like one I remember back in NZ:

 

  The alleged assailant "threatened with menaces".

 

 English language huh? 

Prayat told police that he wanted to find a job on Samui Island but he was unable to find a place to stay and had run out of money so felt he had no other options than to steal from tourists.

 

Hope you enjoy the 6x6 cell..

Yes in Thailand it is.
