Italian Backpacker Caught Stealing & Avoiding Payment in Pattaya Apartment

An incident involving an Italian backpacker has surfaced in Pattaya, with CCTV footage capturing the man stealing money from an apartment counter and failing to pay a Thai woman for her services. The owner of the apartment has raised alarms, urging Pattaya residents to remain cautious.

 

The incident took place at Zeus Apartment on Soi Buakhao, South Pattaya, Chonburi. CCTV footage revealed the man, identified as Andrea, an Italian national, wearing a tank top, knee-length denim shorts, and carrying a backpack.

Around dawn on December 1, he was seen rummaging through belongings at the bar counter on the ground floor, which also operates as a restaurant. He stole 4,000 baht in cash before fleeing the scene.

 

Ms. Darinraya Kongsuk, 36, the apartment owner, explained that the man had checked into the apartment on November 29 and was scheduled to check out on December 1. On the morning of his departure, he came downstairs early when no staff were present at the front desk. Taking advantage of the empty counter, he rang the service bell to ensure no one was around, then took the pink bag containing cash from the counter, placed his room key down, and escaped.

 

Ms. Darinraya also recounted troubling behaviour during his stay. The man brought a Thai woman to his room, only for her to run downstairs an hour later, reporting that he had refused to pay her agreed fee. Ms. Darinraya added that the man spoke fluent Thai, which she found somewhat unusual. She expressed deep disappointment, stating that his actions disrespected Thai culture and hospitality.

 

Following the theft, Ms. Darinraya filed a police report with Pol. Lt. Itthikorn Saikrathok of Pattaya City Police Station. She has urged authorities to swiftly apprehend the suspect, believing he may still be in Pattaya. She also issued a warning to other accommodation providers in the area to remain vigilant against similar incidents.

 

The police are investigating the case and working to locate the suspect. Local residents and business owners have been advised to report any sightings or suspicious activity involving the man to the authorities.

If he isn't already out of the country he will regret it.

Hopefully the apartment owner recorded a TM 30 so they will have a photo and all other passport details.

Grow up.

Everybody pays, girlfriend, wife, mistress, hooker - whatever you choose - you pay!

The only difference is - a hooker is more likely to give you something in return that you didn't want!

But more likely - she'll give you more of what you don't get from the other three categories......

If only TAT went for quality over quantity this sort of thing wouldn't happen

They tried that line with the 'high dollar tourists' front... reality was though they still pursued numbers numbers and more numbers, looking to heavily populated countries.

You pay for sex two ways, directly or indirectly.  Think about it

Never disrespect Thai culture and hospitality. Always pay your hookers.

Not paying a hooker is now disrespecting thai culture and hospitality ?

I know. Never trust a trashpacker wearing knee-length denim shorts. Red flag #1.
