A Chinese tourist has fallen victim to a theft in Pattaya after going to a hotel room with a transgender individual he had just met along the beachfront.

 

At approximately 01:30 on 19 July, the tourist reported the incident to Pol. Sub Lt. Manasak Polyiem, deputy investigator at Pattaya City Police Station. According to his statement, he was approached and befriended by a transgender along Pattaya Beach. After a brief interaction, the suspect allegedly persuaded him to return to his hotel room, to get to know each other.

 

Once inside, the tourist excused himself to use the bathroom. It was during this moment, he said, that the suspect seized the opportunity to steal 20,000 baht in cash before fleeing the scene.

 

The victim stated he had been taken in by the suspect’s friendly demeanour and persuasive manner, not suspecting any criminal intent. He immediately alerted local authorities upon discovering the theft.

 

This incident echoes a previous case involving an Indian tourist who was reportedly targeted in a similar fashion.
