2 Turks drugged and robbed from their North Pattaya Hotel rooms

PATTAYA:--Two Turkish friends on holiday in Pattaya were drugged and robbed on Monday.

Police were called to the Riviera Resort in Soi 16/1 off the Naklua Road on Monday afternoon after hotel cleaners found the two room occupants unconscious on their beds. There was clear evidence of a disturbance in both rooms and it was determined that both room safes had been stolen.

The victims, Mr. Almet aged 51 and Mr. Nihat of the same age were staying in adjoining rooms connected by a door which was unlocked. Eventually they regained consciousness and told Police that they had met two Thai women at the Dolphin Roundabout in North Pattaya and decided to take them back to their rooms.

Why on earth would anyone have 40,000 US$ in a hotel safe attached to a wardrobe? Absolute mugs.

[yoslim]

only 40,000 $ ? The riff-raff is really all what is left in pattaya

[Chicog]

Equipment used to remove the room safes from the wardrobes were left behind and crucially the resort did not keep copies of the Thai ID cards of the two women which leaves Police with the difficult task of recovering the stolen items which reportedly includes 40,000 US Dollars

Crucially? or deliberately?

And $40K? Probably for the insurance company to verify.

Dolphin Roundabout has been a notorious place for years for Ladyboys, so their story could be true to a certain extent.

the stolen items which reportedly includes 40,000 US Dollars, 100,000 Baht and two mobile phones.

They do not trust the banks then?

[fakename]

I wonder if they declared that amount of money, when they came through customs.

Travel insurance claim????

[cosmont]

The ladyboys came with tools ? They took the safety boxes without getting any questions from hotel staff ???

No security camera in the hotel ???

[OMGImInPattaya]

I'm sure it is 4k, not 40k. Definitely mongering newbies...and evolution takes its toll.

I'm sure no insurance company would cover that much money, so what are you talking about?????

[kiniyow]

How would they know how much Money was in those safes if the Men did not brag or even Show them the cash? Loose lips sink Ships~~

.....justice.......forget it.......

(...but we better hurry up and bust some westerners..for whatever....)

.........us..........and them.........

[SOTIRIOS]

....maybe this starts at the airport......

....especially if they have to declare money they are bringing in to the country....

....and equipped with tools.......premeditated......

.and someone in the hotel is an accomplice apparently...........

What is the name of this hotel.........they name the Russian entrepreneurs struggling to make a living.....this hotel should be blacklisted....

I know the ATM withdrawal fees are ฿150 a pop, but considering they apparently lost so much, would've been easier to utilise their Turkish debit / credit cards.

Unless they came to buy a condo, all cash, I find this hard to believe. Why would the hotel allow these girls to go to the room after refusing to leave their ID cards? Didn't that raise a red flag? Now the Turks need to find money to buy two new safes!

I have never heard of an insurance company covering ANY cash lost. If you know of one, let me know. I think I might lose $1,000,000 next month!

If they had this kind of money, why would they pick up streetwalkers. Cheap Charlie´s Ahmet´s.

Just a guess, Riviera Resort in Soi 16/1 off the Naklua Road!!!

I could be mistaken, but it was the case for me for foreign ownership (or perhaps it's not applicable if buying a condo in a company name or whatever), but I thought funds for buying a condo had to be wired into Thailand from abroad???

Regardless of the above, I'm convinced this is an attempt (a poor one by the looks of it) at defrauding an insurance company!!!

Where do they stand in the fountain?

No thats not right, you can change your foreign currency here in Thailand at a Bank or Authorised Money Changer, they will then issue the Foreign Currency Transaction Report required by the Land Office to register the Condo it the buyers name.

Perhaps these Turkish gents were going to open an Turkish Ice cream outlet on Walking St, they would blend in nicely.Thus the 40K.
