A viral social media post has sparked a manhunt for two muscular foreign men who were caught on camera stealing from a shop on Koh Phangan. The store owner has publicly urged the culprits to return the stolen goods or pay for them before legal action is taken.

 

The incident was revealed by Facebook user Satika Oz, who shared CCTV footage in the “Koh Phangan - Koh Phangan” Facebook group. The video shows the two men helping themselves to items inside the store, Sprout.

 

 

The store owner posted a message in English, warning the thieves:

 

“To the two men who stole from Sprout, we have reported you to the police. You still have the chance to return what you took or pay for it before facing legal consequences.

 

“It is shameful that you entered our space, our home, and acted so dishonestly. We work hard to create something meaningful, and your actions are deeply disappointing and unacceptable.

 

“If anyone recognises these two individuals or knows where they are staying, please inform us. They must return what they stole before the situation escalates. This is their final opportunity to do the right thing.”

 

The post has gained significant attention online, with many social media users sharing the footage in an effort to identify the suspects. Locals and tourists alike have been urged to come forward with any information regarding the men’s whereabouts.

 

The Koh Phangan police have been alerted, and authorities are now investigating the theft. If the suspects fail to return the stolen items, they could face criminal charges.

 

Residents and business owners on the island remain on high alert, as Koh Phangan, known for its Full Moon Parties and vibrant tourism, has seen a rise in petty crimes in recent months.

Low class tourists as usual. Shoplifting at holiday. How low can people sink?

Hope they miss their chance to give back or pay for things. Would be nice to see them thrown out of Thailand.
