Canadian Tourist Robbed During Night in Pattaya Hotel

[webfact]

 

A Canadian tourist’s relaxing night turned alarming when two Ugandan women allegedly stole his cash while he slept in his Pattaya hotel room.

 

Chonburi Immigration Police have recently arrested two Ugandan nationals, Ms. Mariam, aged 38, and Ms. Sheebah, aged 28, at a hotel in the Khao Pratamnak area of South Pattaya, Chonburi province.

The arrest follows an issuance of a warrant by the Pattaya Provincial Court on charges of “jointly committing theft at night” on June 17.

 

The incident was reported by Mr. Khalid, the Canadian tourist, who informed Bang Lamung Police Station that he had been robbed by the two women.

According to Mr. Khalid, the event unfolded on June 10 when he invited the two Ugandan women to his hotel room on Pattaya-Na Kluea Road for a few drinks and to spend the night. He paid them 2,000 baht each for their time.

 

Mr. Khalid claims he eventually fell asleep and, upon waking, discovered that approximately 90,000 baht in Thai and foreign currency he had kept in the safe was missing. Despite the women’s consistent denials, saying they had merely given the man a relaxing massage, evidence suggests otherwise.

Police have combed through CCTV footage and gathered other forms of evidence, leading to the firm belief that the women are responsible for the theft. Consequently, they were taken into custody for further legal procedures.

 

This story underlines the need for tourists to exercise caution and vigilance while enjoying the vibrant nightlife in tourist hubs like Pattaya. Local authorities assure that they are committed to maintaining safety for all visitors to the area.

Didn't they read the labor law?

It is well known that some activities are reserved for Thai people.

They can't just come here and take over the jobs of the locals!

Just think of the arduous task of getting their gear off. He must be a spend thrift with a sense of humor to pay 4 k  for those 2 crackers,

How did they get the password to the room safe? 

 

When are they going to stop adding the B.S. to every story?

Pattaya is really no different to any other tourist destinations, you're safety is entirely in your hands. Minimize carrying large amounts of money and only wear limited jewellery such as a watch or in some cases a religious necklace.

Room safe, that’s hilarious.

Makes a change from the locals robbing people i suppose.

Offering 'relaxing massages' or opening safes?

Ah yes, Khalid, a good strong Canadian name. Right up there with Cooper, Smith, Adamson, Wilson and the like.

racist and clueless much ? 

[balo]

Mr Khalid from Canada , with 90000 in cash.  Ever heard of credit/debit cards ? 

[neeray]

I can't imagine travelling to Thailand and hiring anything but cute little Thai girl(s) if I felt the need for a "relaxing" massage in my room. But ....... to each their own.

They have a master code used by the hotel.  There are default numbers set by the manufacturers.  Unless the hotel changes the default master code just try a few numbers such as 0000 or 9999.

I've read just dropping them will pop the door open too.  Lots of articles online about getting into them.

You mean Mr. Khalid...

Canadian passport maybe, but not a Canadian.

The only time I ever have 90,000 Baht cash is when I'm putting the money in the bank to sweeten the account for the marriage visa.

 

I'm just struck by...

this sounds like a comedy skit that they would play out on "In Living Color" back in the day.

 

2000 per... Just Wow

Not all the same..... some use a master key. Some even require a computer connection  to open them. Seen it done. I guess one could test 9999 or 0000 or even 1234. Some require 6 characters. You may get locked out for a spell.

Hard to drop them if they are securely fixed to the wall.

"Ugandan discussions", or a variation thereof (such as "discussing Ugandan affairs"), is often used as a euphemism for sex,

I have an idea how they got the money out:

Umfufu's hat

what brains?

[Iron Tongue]

I wonder if he was so wasted that he passed-out for the night, or they slipped him something?

It'd take a while to pick the safe and they wouldn't want him waking up while they tossed the place.

-or, perhaps he kept a scrap of paper in his wallet that said "hotel combo = 1-2-3-4"
