In the early hours of July 18, a dramatic turn of events unfolded on Pattaya's famous Walking Street. A 27-year-old ladyboy woman reported to the Pattaya City Police Station, claiming an Indian tourist stole her money following a night out.

 

The incident, reminiscent of a scene from a crime thriller, involved 34-year-old Indian national Nizamuddin. The woman alleged that during what was meant to be a fun encounter, he swiped 7,000 Baht (approximately USD 200) while she was in the shower.

 

According to the woman's account, the duo met at an Indian pub on Walking Street, a lively hub famed for its nightlife. After sharing drinks and friendly exchanges, they decided to continue the night at a nearby guesthouse in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung.

 

Trouble began when, as per her statement, Nizamuddin encouraged her to freshen up with a shower. Upon her return, she noticed him hurriedly closing a safe. Her heart sank as a glance into her bag confirmed her suspicion—the cash was missing.

 

Attempting to leave the room, she claims the situation escalated when Nizamuddin tried to restrain her. The ensuing noise drew the attention of guesthouse staff, who promptly alerted the Tourist Police.

 

In her report to Police Lieutenant Sakyachai Chaidet, she described the man's erratic behaviour, suggesting he might have been under the influence. "He seemed intoxicated or perhaps even high," she recounted. "His speech was slurred, and his actions were bizarre."

 

Police officers found Nizamuddin in a visibly distressed state, tearfully incoherent upon their arrival. Despite initial cooperation, his demeanour shifted dramatically as he was taken to the holding cell, where he began to shout and act disruptively.

 

The incident not only highlights the potential risks common in nightlife hotspots like Pattaya but also raises questions about safety and trust during such encounters. Police continue to investigate, ensuring that justice is served in what is yet another cautionary tale from the city known for its vibrant but sometimes volatile nightlife scene.

 

While this story serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance, it also puts a spotlight on the work of the local authorities, who are tasked with maintaining order amidst the chaos. The outcome of this curious case remains to be seen as investigations proceed.
