An 81-year-old Israeli tourist has reported that he was abandoned and robbed by a motorcycle taxi driver during a trip to Sattahip, Chonburi, Thailand. The incident occurred around 6:00 PM on May 13th.

 

Mr. Albert Mahlev was found sitting alone at a roadside shop on Sukhumvit Road. He had travelled from Pattaya to Sattahip for sightseeing, hiring a motorcycle taxi from Soi Buakhao in Pattaya. According to local sources, the driver left him stranded at a Sukhumvit Road intersection and made off with his mobile phone.

 

Struggling with the language barrier, Mr. Mahlev waited by the roadside for help. Concerned local residents eventually contacted Sattahip Police Station. Tourist police from Pattaya and Sattahip came to his aid and escorted him to the police station for further questioning.

 

Pol. Lt. Abhisit Phuengyam, Deputy Inspector of Sattahip Police Station, stated that Mr. Mahlev initially had trouble providing detailed information due to language difficulties. Authorities are currently seeking an interpreter to assist in gathering more details from him.

 

The local police are now investigating the incident and are urging any witnesses to come forward with information that could help identify the motorcycle taxi driver involved.

Go on, blame the old guy, coming up with all sorts of silly scenarios as where the old guy was at fault, wait until

you get to his age and someone treat you like that Mr. Crikey...

Hey, I'm not going to get in an argument with you, I'm outnumbered here, so many elderly guys on AN. 

 

We have a different option on this article. 

 

Anyway, I hope when I get to his age I'm not a nuisance and don't do anything so stupid.

Seems you make the mistake of thinking that Thailand was some sort of Utopia in the past. Not so. Anyone been in Thailand for over 30 years knows that. It may have been better for us farangs, but there has always been crime and violence.

Just read up about the university students getting shot and such like.

Please do tell me one country where crime does not exist.

Thank you very much.

What is so special about this report?

Because he's 81?

And why it's several times emphasized that he's from Israel?

For me he's one of those cheap tourists who want to save money and hiring a motorbike taxi, but too old to handle the robbery. And unable to keep his phone.

Next time order Grab: aircon, safe, and you can keep your phone.
