A Thai man lost a gold necklace worth over 125,000 baht to a woman he met on a dating app after meeting her at a hotel in the Isaan province of Udon Thani.

 

The victim, 18 year old Ditdanai Takhamhor, filed a complaint against his former date, identified only as Zia at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station. Ditdanai explained that he moved from Roi Et to Udon Thani to work at a construction site with his uncle. He was alone there without family, so he used a dating app, hoping to find a soulmate.

 

Ditdanai met Zia on the app. She told him that she was a nurse at a hospital in Khon Kaen province. They talked to each other online for a month before arranging a face-to-face meeting at a hotel in Udon Thani on July 11. Zia booked three rooms at the hotel, saying she came with her mother and younger brother.

 

Unlike other cases, Ditdanai said Zia was as beautiful as her profile on the application. After talking for a while, Zia excused herself, saying she had to go on a personal errand with her mother and brother, so Ditdanai waited for her in the hotel room.

 

Ditdanai said he later came out to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere but carried the wrong hotel key. It was the key to Zia’s brother’s room. He informed Zia about the issue, and she contacted the hotel staff to open the room for him. However, the staff would not come until the next day, so Zia asked Ditdanai to wait in her brother’s room.

Ditdanai woke up at 4am the next day and found that everyone had disappeared, including his valuables, the 125,000-baht gold necklace. He contacted Zia to ask about his belongings. Zia said she would keep them and return them to him but she never did.

 

Ditdanai contacted Zia’s mother to request his gold but she explained that Zia had been seriously injured in a car accident. Ditdanai patiently waited for her recovery, but even after she recuperated, the family did not return his gold necklace.

 

Consequently, he chose to pursue legal action against Zia. The police assured him they would summon Zia to the station to retrieve and return the gold to Ditdanai.

So, today an uncle is not considered family?

Sure, it will all be there. No problem! 🤣

This is just the same story that happen to another gullible Thai, a few week ago, maybe the same woman........

He didn't lose anything.

It was stolen.

Wearing a 3 baht necklace on a blind date...showing off?

Something tells me there's a lot more to this story...

 

Hotel staff wouldn't come until the next day? 3 rooms? slept in her brother's room? what a mess.
