Police arrested two Thai ladyboy thieves for gold necklace theft in Pattaya after one of them was caught pretending to hug an Indian tourist and stealing his necklace worth about 60,000 baht.

 

The 50 year old victim, Subhash Petloj, reported the incident, which occurred around 10.50pm on May 9 to Mueang Pattaya Police Station. Petloj explained that he was relaxing on Pattaya Beach when the two transgender women approached him.

 

The women engaged in conversation with Petloj when one of them suddenly hugged him. While hugging him, the woman removed the gold necklace from his neck before leaving. Petloj realised his necklace was missing after they had gone and realised that the transwomen were tricky, not friendly.

 

Further investigation and review of security camera footage revealed that the transgender thieves were 34 year old Monlada “Em” Lahae and 41 year old Kotchapaphak “Nueng” Chamnanpoj. Their arrests were made yesterday, May 15.

 

Officers arrested Em at her rented room in the Bang Lamung district and seized her black Yamaha Fino motorcycle, which was used during the crime. Nueng was arrested at her condominium in Pattaya.

 

The two were charged with committing theft at night, which carries a penalty of one to seven years imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 to 140,000 baht under Section 335 of the Criminal Law.

 

Many thefts committed by Thai transgender women against Indian tourists have been reported in Pattaya and other tourist areas.

Deja vu again!

Is getting a gold necklace stolen by ladyboys in Pattaya on some sort of Bucket List for Indian tourists or something  ??? 

 

 

Imagine he has to explain that picture to his family back home...

Indians ladyboys and gold necklaces have been a fixture on Pattaya beach for many a decade...

ladyboy and Indian are a match made in Pattaya!

Wish they had blurred out the face of the one on the left.

Getting a bit dyslexic as time goes on.Initially read it as a Pearl Necklace!

Is theft at night different from theft in the daytime?

Yes, harsher penalties for theft at night.

If they'll get half of the sentence it would be good, I doubt it though.

Yes, it carries slightly different penalties here and is hence categorized separately. 

What a weird offence - 'committing theft at night'! Why differentiate the time of day? Theft is theft.

Is it just me or is there a statistical relevance to ladyboys and thievery significantly higher that the rest of the population. 

 

Or, are they stupid and get caught easier.

Is this because the Indian are so careless wearing expensive jewelry trying to show they have money and at the same time allowing ladyboys to get close enough to steal from them? Hmm. You would think after happening many many times before that they would understand and know what happens when wearing jewelry openly in Pattaya.

This is a common law in Thailand and other countries. I guess at night you are more vulnerable. So the offence is worse.

So CCTV cameras do work and can help solve/prevent crime.  Think how much safer the roads would be if all red light runners/speedsters were caught on camera AND PROSECUTED!

Maybe the Indian would have been happy donating one

I heard the government were introducing a new class of visa, especially for Indians. It's called the Gold Necklace Visa. No, it's not about getting a ladyboy to wee over you. Just present a certified 99.9% gold necklace worth at least 50k THB at immigration and you'll get free entry for 30 days, and some coupons for exchange at Indian Gogo bars. I ladyboy drink per coupon. The return of the subsequently pinched gold necklace cannot be guaranteed, however.

They will get neither ...

1,000 baht fine and back out on the streets.

Many years ago I lost a gold ring to a guy who introduced himself to me with a hand-shake on a beach in Rayong. I only realiized it had gone after he had disappeared. Lesson learned...

If you put on a dress and a pair of high heels, what would we call you?

Leave the swag at home. It is not only ladyboys that will steal your gold.

Let's go to the Pattaya Beach at night and wear gold everybody!!!

Fag

For some reason Thai society tolerate this scum (ladyboys). They've been thieving off tourist for years & years. Singapore slung them all out of Boogie Street years ago, it's time for the Thais to have a good clean-out.

Are you seriously saying that you would call a bloke in a dress a woman?

A bloke in a frock and high heels,  what else?   Clothing does not alter ones gender , only ones appearance. It really is as simple as that
