I do not target people; I only want their property. I generally steal mobile phones and tablets because they can be easily exchanged for cash,” Mr Teerawat confessed to police.“I spent the money on enjoying myself in entertainment venues and with prostitutes,” he added.But Mr Teerawat maintained that he is still looking for a job, telling the police, “I do not care about what the work is.

LivinginKata Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So he is still looking for a job but it must be in a hotel. The sad fact is that he most likely be stealing from guests again in the near future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uty6543 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If he was stealing to feed his family I might have some Sympathy for him but to steal for his own entertainment. He should be tattooed so everyone knows that their property is not safe with him around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan michaud Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Common practice for Thai job seekers? My wife opened a salon and a young girl came in asking for work, saying she'd work for free just to get some experience. My wife wasn't sure and the girl asked to borrow her phone to call her boyfriend to pick her up, she left a wallet/purse on the table and slipped out of the front door and promptly did a runner. We realised something was up and looked at the purse to find another woman's ID. I went out on our motorbike for a look around and to my amazement found her on a bike buying a coconut in the middle of Khon Kaen city. When I pulled up she took off at high speed hurling the coconut at me. Having been a lifelong biker I caught her and when we brought the police in it turned out the bike was stolen and she had been doing this to salons across Khon Kaen. Beware of job seekers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiinasia Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 At least HE got value from his thefts. Sending the money home would only mean that the blood sucking relatives would get a benefit. I don't believe this "helping the family" crap anymore, its 99% b.s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Usual Suspect Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 So, this slap happy piece of buffalo dung steals from hotel rooms. Then, he has the cajones to advertise (via his statement to police) that he is looking for work in the hotel industry? Should look really swell on your resume' pinhead. Amazing Thailand!
