Women in Pattaya have been sounding the alarm about a foreign man wearing an electronic monitoring (EM) bracelet, who allegedly lures them into hotel rooms to rob and assault them. The Facebook page "Walking Around Pattaya" posted a video of the suspect and issued warnings to local women. The man, frequently dressed in black, reportedly prowls Pattaya Beach looking for prey.

 

He allegedly invites Thai women to hotel rooms under the guise of seeking companionship, only to rob them upon arrival. Some victims have reported violent encounters, including attempted strangulation in hotel bathrooms. One woman successfully defended herself, injuring him with her sharp fingernails.

 

Victims have contacted police, but officers claim they cannot act as these incidents are not classified as flagrant offenses. Frustrated by this lack of action, victims have turned to social media to warn others.

 

Outcry Over Police Inaction

 

Netizens have expressed outrage, questioning why someone with an EM bracelet—a sign of past criminal activity in Thailand—is allowed to roam freely. Comments on social media express disbelief at the police inaction:

 

 

"Why do the police wait until someone gets hurt or killed?"

 

"This man is dangerous. How can the police do nothing?"

 

Several women shared similar experiences, with more cases of robberies by foreign men coming to light. Another local pointed out frequently seeing the suspect posing as a tourist in the area.

 

As of now, local police and administrative officials have not responded publicly to these growing concerns. The community remains on edge, urging authorities to take immediate action against the alleged perpetrator, reported The Thaiger.

Even for Thai Police this is a new low

It's good they posted his photo, the females should be warned.  We love Pattaya Beach women, we don't want them harmed.

Man with EM bracelet... can't be traced... ? Also, why not the women informed the hotel staff... when they were assaulted in the hotel rooms... 

Few missing links here...

Whaaaaaat? More lazy cops. Replace them! 

[wombat]

What is a EM bracelet ?

Photo please 

[Hakuna Matata]

He looks like Central Asian (Uighur, Afghani, Tajik, etc.).

 

So, he is targeting only prostitutes, right?

 

Because only a prostitute will agree to go with him to a room.

 

This is a high risk profession, isn't it? Must have insurance,

 Ignorance on my part, what is the significance of an EM in this story ?

They are waiting for a murder which is classed as flagrant.

Exactly!  Need more info here.  

An electronic monitoring (EM) bracelet on a foreigner? 

I would think once a foreigner is caught with a crime bad enough and waranted for one of those bracelets to be fastened, you would be deported in a second.

Makes a change from Thais robbing people i suppose, but this guy needs to be caught pronto

[twizzian]

Hurty or derogative words would land you in court, but not attempted rape with theft.

Hard to say.  Usually, police electronic monitoring devices are on the ankle.  I suspect they may be confusing a smartwatch.  Which is another type of EM.

Because they're not real police! They're racketeers.

I always presumed it was their penchant for being far more reactive and rarely proactive!

Perhaps they want to discourage freelancers.  Why else would a Thai woman follow a strange foreigner into his hotel room?  Usually, protecting them is a pimp's job.  If they're freelancers with no backup, they're on their own.  It sucks, but such is life in that seedy world.

 

I'd add that it's probably tough to make a case in a he said- she said situation like that.

 

Edit:  I'd also add the sensitivity of prosecuting him for attacking hookers while turning a blind eye to hooking.  I suspect the guy will be dealt with "unofficially".  With no public fanfare.  The Thai way.

EM (electronic monitoring) bracelet is for criminals who have been convicted of crimes in their country. It’s used to keep track of where they are. Movement is usually restricted to certain areas.

Who in their right mind would go to a room with a tagged person?

I thought Pattaya women were more street wise.

Where does it say, that it was not on the ankle? I am sure you've heard of an ankle bracelet?

Chinese thing or/and end battery..

[NedR69]

Monitoring bracelet, usually worn on the ankle. 
 

Can be for location, or it may be for alcohol detection.  For location, it could be due to domestic violence.  For alcohol it could be due to alcohol related vehicle crash, possibly causing injuries or fatalities. The alcohol monitor doesn’t track or detect location. 
 

if it was domestic violence…and if he is from some countries, he would not be allowed by the court to travel. And unlikely to pass through security because it can’t be removed.  

[ignore it]

It's a modern world.

Can't do take away

Cant do pick up

So got to get delivery

 

 

[cheerz]

How did he get visa accepted with a ankle monitor on, came across border for sure Someone not doing their job, even after a assault complaint.
