Escort scam: Thai man assaulted & robbed in Chiang Mai hotel trap

[webfact]

A Thai man filed a complaint against a male escort and his four friends after they lured him to a hotel in the northern province of Chiang Mai before physically assaulting and robbing him.

 

The victim, 31 year old Korn, told officers at Doi Saket Police Station that he lost cash, a mobile phone valued at about 20,000 baht, and a smartwatch to a male escort, whose name he did not know, and four of his friends at a hotel in the Doi Saket district of Chiang Mai province.

 

Korn revealed to police that he hired a man to provide a sex service and met him at the hotel. When Korn arrived, the escort excused himself to use the bathroom before their sexual activities. However, he came out of the bathroom with four other men.

 

Two of them, sporting knuckle dusters on their hands, attacked Korn and threatened him to transfer money to their bank account. They then forced Korn to hand over his phone and smartwatch before he managed to sneak out of the room.

The hotel’s security camera captured the moment when Korn ran from the hotel room to save his life. The five thieves were seen running after him before leaving the hotel.

 

Police told Channel 3 that they managed to identify all of the suspects, who were teenagers. Two of them had been previously arrested and punished for similar crimes.

 

A similar incident occurred with a Canadian man in Pattaya last week. The foreign victim told Pattaya police that he hired two Ugandan women to provide him with a sex service at a hotel on Pattaya-Na Kluea Road on June 10 but he woke the next day to find that 90,000 baht in cash was missing. The two Ugandan thieves were later arrested in the area.

 

Another similar theft was reported in 2022 when a man lost 1,200 baht to two Thai sex workers in the Isaan province of Loei. He transferred a deposit for their service but they did not come to meet him and immediately blocked his contact.

Huh? He came out of the bathroom with four men? That is quite a hat trick. Very unusual. Very bizarre. So, the perps climbed into the bathroom window and waited? Not buying it.

Another option is that the 5 guys arrived at the hotel and rented the room before the client arrived.

Booking sex encounters on line seems to be dodgy. What happened to meeting escorts outside and  leaving  id at reception.

Yeah that's a very likely possibility, it is just another reason to never go back to their room, and always go back to your own room instead, or a neutral room. And always make sure everything's locked up, that's the first thing you do when you enter the room.

punished?  slap on the wrist and a wai ?

What? No sex? The least they could do was to relieve him, or them, or whichever he fancied. Poor guy.

Obviously not hard enough, quite normal with teenagers.

This is a Las Vegas style hooker robbery. Except for CM ,it makes sense that it's a male escort
