Transsexual suspected thief arrested following night of passion with American Tourist.

Just after 4am on Thursday Morning, the Tourist Police received a complaint from Mr. Mark Adam Cottanham aged 45 from USA who claimed he had just become the victim of a theft. He explained that as he walked along Pattaya Second Road in South Pattaya, he was approached by two transsexuals who offered sexual services to him for a price. Mr. Cottanham accepted their proposal and followed the two transsexuals to a nearby rented room. At the conclusion of their encounter, Mr. Cottanham left and realized that 1,000 Baht and 2,000 US Dollars had been replaced with pieces of paper cut to the size of bank notes, inside his wallet. Tourist Police Officers were able to recover the money and arrest one of the 3 man gang thought to be involved in the case. Khun Suwan aged 30 confessed to his part in the case and revealed that he would steal from foreigners on a daily basis. He was charged with theft and transferred to Pattaya Police Station for processing. Officers are currently locating the other two suspects in the case.

He was lucky to get the money back, but I bet he was even more thrilled to have his full name reported in the papers

Thats EXACTLY what i thought ,,now hes the victim alright as soon as all his mates know hes a tranny lover, !

He's a victim and the poor bastard has his name plastered all over the internet. Any Google search will throw his name up, sad.

He was carrying 2000 bucks on the town? Maybe he read the wrong guidebook on the cost of sinnin' in these parts. it really is wrong to publish the victim's name. In the US anyway for any half decent job they will indeed google your name.

There's probably a photo of him out there too. Perhaps he's got a wife back in the US? I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

The best advice in these circumstances is if you can afford to lose it - write it off.

Perhaps he thought Arthur was Martha...

Pictures of him on the PDN splurge..

Sad it is. Here's another one;

Can any of you remember a story that appeared on PCN a couple of years ago, in which a British Man had sadly died, apparently whilst masturbating watching a pornographic DVD?

The news cameras were in the room, taking photos of him with his hand still wrapped round his old feller, trousers round his ankles. Then... they flashed his passport photo page on the screen for all to see. I couldn't believe it at the time.

I'm sure that this would have left a lasting impression of him amongst his family & friends let alone inspired a few gravestone inscriptions.

So, did he have to pay the trannies?

I would hang 'em up by the balls in The Avenue and throw sharp instruments at them (i.e darts) this would achieve the following:-

1. Help to rid Pattaya of the scourge of the predatory ladyboys - if you want to enjoy the services of a khatoey there are plenty of 'safe' venues.

2. Increase trade at The Avenue where it still looks desperately under patronised.

I would also hang up by the balls anyone who is <deleted> stupid enough to (a) go out with 2,000 USD and ( accept an offer from anyone on the streets at 4.00 am in the morning !

Forgive my ignorance but what is the likely sentencing outcome for this or will it just be a caution?

He probably realsied that the dollar was dropping and would soon be the equivalent of the baht.

Welcome to your 15 minutes of fame/infamy, Mr. Cottanham.

some one should start a statistical survey....these reports always start with "at 2am", and "at 5 am". Anyone noticing a trend here ?

I just got off a baht bus after 11am this morning and two of them (katuhys) were trying to sit

almost on top of me. Fuc_ing obnoxious she-males is what they are. They normally come-out

after dark because of course the night offers some disguise to their features. AND folks usually

have their beer goggles late at night. Wish they'd run the lot of them out of the province.
