PHUKET: -- An employee working on a regular coach that runs between Trang and Phuket was arrested today after confessing to stealing two Mac notebooks belonging to a Chinese tourist on Wednesday (July 9).

Trang-Phuket coach employee booked for stealing computers from Chinese tourist
Police said Mr Pathompong Charunprik, 29, confessed to stealing the computers, which were stored in a travel bag on the bus. He said he hid them and other belongings in the bag, at a family member's house en route to Phuket.

The computers, a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air, both belonged to Ms Guo Ywei, 24, a Chinese tourist who had boarded the bus from Krabi.

Realizing the computers were missing upon arrival to Phuket, she filed a report with Phuket Tourist Police, who initiated an investigation, in cooperation along with Phuket City Police

The property has been recovered as evidence, and Mr Pathompong is being processed in the judicial system.

The case follows a similar one last month, when a tour bus driver was arrested in Phuket for stealing belongings of Chinese tourists who'd stored their bags on the bus while they were on a boat tour

They arrested the guy. Doubt it took seven people (they just want to be in the photo), so who cares?

Why do some people find the need to moan even in something like this.

This does not help Thailands image , it good he was caught ,

I bet she left them in her unattended baggage. That was a stupid move she deserves to get them ripped off.

One would expect a bus to be safe, and to make it clear nobody deserves to get ripped off. Seems you have no ethics but that was clear to many people already.

You're a clever man being able to deduce that based on nothing at all.

It seems to me that people who say things like that maybe have some 'thief' in their own DNA, obviously I'm not referring to you, of course.

So you are one of those who would leave money or valuable in the baggage area of a bus? Maybe your not as smart as you should be. Only a fool would leave it there. So what are you?

Someone that feels if a mistake is made (leaving valuables there) it does not mean it is ok for someone else to steal it.

I guess you feel that if a girl wears sexy clothes its ok to grope and rape here as she was asking for it of course.

Myself I would avoid leaving expensive stuff in buses but I am not infallible and could make a mistake

The newspapers in Samui routinely reported thefts of this nature happening on overnight buses traveling from Bangkok to the south.

You load your gear from the outside in to the "secure" compartments in the undercarriage.

While the passengers slept, scumbags accessed the loot from inside the buses through hidden doors on the floor.

Upon arrival, the passengers, along with their secured bags are stuffed in to mini vans and it's off to the hotel. Realizing nothing until you are in your room.

As far as your heartless, soulless, indifferent reply of: "she deserves to get them ripped off.",

Please stay out of my orbit.

I think you'll find Chooka works in the industry. Professionalism probably enters the equation here.

[rlopes]

You gotta admire the Chinese for seeking justice.

They don't tolerate being scammed and ripped off.

It pisses me off how so many people think it's OK when these things happen "because the thief is poor and needed to steal / overcharge / etc"...

[smudgekin]

Its good they caught him. On a trip from Krabi to Surat this year , my girlfreinds bag was in the luggage compartment under the bus. Somebody went completely through it and stole a lot of personal items. Its really not a nice feeling. Its the secound time too. They do this whole charade of splitting up groups into different buses at Surat thani, hours of waiting in overpriced shops, rude service, the buss "broke down" on the way , and then they steal from the luggage. Total shit.

No, people who are stupid do

[Somtamnication]

The guy has good taste!!

[simon43]

Mangobob, has it not occurred to you that these people are not 'stupid' but naïve?

Perhaps in their home country it is perfectly safe to leave valuable items in secured luggage.

Perhaps it would never ross their minds that a bus employee would stoop so low as to steal from a tourist

As another person alluded to in this post, I guess your DNA is wired differently from the moral majority.

They probably do give credit to the backroom staff here Chooka. Would you not allow the guys in your home station a little bit of credit sometimes (as long as that did not include cash).

I guess the HP box helped them find them.
