So funny, well posted.

2 baht weight of gold is not exactly insignificant.

2 Baht gold.....around 40,000 Baht.

Hope they catch the thief......reprimand him and let him go, so next day he will get a 4baht gold necklace.

Nothing unusual in Thailand.

You would think that someone who presumably sees local police reports regularly would have more sense than to wander around with 40KBaht hanging around his neck.

Hardly a day goes by here without such things being stolen.

As a result of the incident Mr Agarwal wanted to warn everybody about the dangers of wearing expensive jewellery.

So Mr Agarwal want to advise other people not to be as stupid as he is ?

Isn't that what Thai Visa is all about ... the blind trying to lead the "blinder?"

From the news report:

Unfortunately for the would-be thief (or stupidly), he was caught on CCTV, and the image has been plastered around the village, and put on the internet. Hopefully someone will come forward, and call the Pattaya police.

So if anyone sees a bluish blurry man who is wearing clothes but without a face, they should call the Pattaya police.

I will be on the lookout.
