Police in Pattaya are investigating an incident in which a 60-year-old Russian tourist fell victim to theft after being charmed by two transgender individuals in front of a hotel in the Wongamat area of Naklua.

 

The victim, identified as Mr. Andrei Zhuravlev, was reportedly sitting outside the hotel when the incident occurred. According to a statement provided through an interpreter, Mr. Zhuravlev was approached by two individuals on a motorcycle. One of them dismounted and struck up a conversation with him, employing flirtatious gestures such as hugs and kisses.

 

Distracted by their behaviour, Mr. Zhuravlev failed to notice when his gold necklace, brought from Russia, was removed. Shortly afterward, the pair made their escape on the waiting motorcycle, speeding away from the scene.

 

Realising his necklace was missing, Mr. Zhuravlev immediately informed the hotel reception staff, who then contacted Pattaya police.

 

Police investigators have since reviewed CCTV footage from the area to trace the suspects’ movements and identify their escape route. Authorities are now working to track down the culprits and bring them to justice.
