A 41-year-old woman from Chonburi has issued a public warning to other women after falling victim to a younger man who charmed his way into her life, only to flee with gold and cash.

 

The victim, Ms. Phinyaphat, recounted the ordeal to reporters at her home in Moo 3, Samet Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chonburi Province. She showed the exact location in her bedroom where the stolen valuables, including Thai currency, Taiwanese dollars and gold, had been kept before being stolen.

 

The suspect, identified only as Mr. Suea, a smartly dressed, well-groomed younger man, had approached her with romantic intentions and eventually asked to become her boyfriend. Ms. Phinyaphat, who lives with her 13-year-old son, allowed him to visit the house and stay, especially since she was due to leave for Taiwan for work.

 

According to her account, just one month into the relationship, Mr. Suea offered to take care of her home while she was overseas, a proposal she accepted, unaware of his true intentions.

 

Roughly two weeks after departing for Taiwan, she returned home to find her money and gold missing. When she confronted Mr. Suea, he admitted to taking the items but soon became aggressive and cut off all communication.

 

Ms. Phinyaphat reported the crime to Samet Police Station, who have since confirmed that the suspect has a criminal record and is linked to similar past offences.

 

She later took to Facebook to raise public awareness, posting images of Mr. Suea, including one of him in a naval uniform and urging others to beware. Her post quickly went viral, with many users sharing and commenting, warning women to be cautious when getting involved with new partners.

 

“I trusted him because we were in a relationship, or so I thought,” Ms. Phinyaphat said. “I just want to warn other women: be careful before letting someone into your life, especially into your home.”

 

She believes the suspect is currently residing in the Mueang District’s Mueang Subdistrict and has called on the police to act swiftly to prevent further victims.

 

“I’m confident the police have the ability to find him. He shouldn’t be allowed to deceive anyone else,” she added.

 

The case has struck a chord with many online, highlighting a worrying trend of romantic scams and trust-based theft. Police investigations are ongoing.

What exactly are you trying to say? Is you life so miserable, that you have to look down on Thai women again?
