Three ladyboys and a boyfriend arrested for theft, bribery

PHUKET: -- Three ladyboys and a boyfriend were arrested in Patong early this morning (January 23) for allegedly stealing an Aussie tourist's gold necklace and then bribing a police officer with B30,000 to drop the charges.

Karon police arrested four Udon Thani natives at 1:30am today (January 23), including Suriyon Suponok, 22; Satjapong Thamahol, 22, Atpachai Sittitham, 21; and Piyapan Wongyai, 24 across the street from the Royal Paradise Hotel in Patong.

Police said the three ladyboy suspects had allegedly snatched a gold chain from a 44-year-old Australian tourist while he was near Karon Beach. The victim told police that the ladyboys allegedly surrounded him and gave him a hug, not realising that they may have taken his gold necklace until after they fled the scene.

After checking CCTV footage in the area, police spotted the ladyboy suspects parked in a getaway car in Patong. When approached by police, the suspects confessed to the theft and said they intended to use the money from the necklace to party and buy make-up.

Police seized several items, including the gold necklace and Honda Jazz vehicle.

During the arrest, the suspects had allegedly attempted to bribe the officer with B30,000. According to police, a boyfriend of one of the suspects brought the cash to the officer but authorities quickly seized the money as evidence and arrested the boyfriend, named Piyapan.

All four suspects were taken to Karon Police Station to face charges of theft with getaway vehicle and bribery.

Hey the victim(?) has thumbs up, not pointing at the perpetrators (?). Hard to tell without the pointing photo, someone did not brief the Aussie correctly. We cannot tell who is who in the photo as a result.

Good on the BIB on the result, including the bribe attempt.

Aussies aren't use to parading in front of the media and pointing at suspects. In Australia the courts determine guilt.

Does this mean the Police officer in question will receive his 10,000 baht reward for reporting the bribe ?

which three are the ladyboys ? ...... the cops forgot to show the aussie where to point ...

I'm perplexed how he allowed himself to be the meat in a ladyboy sandwich.

I'm guessing the hug was welcomed until the chain was yanked.

If these vile creatures have 30k to toss around, why do they need to rip people off? Just fun and games for them, I reckon.

They seem to be used to hugging ladyboys though.

In Australia do they have any concern over determining sex?

Heck the white boy IS the boy fiend.

The police did well - siezed the bribe money and the honda plus returned the chain!

He doesn't appear to be your average aussie sex tourist. His appearance isn't disheveled and he isn't wearing the customary uniform of thongs, footy shorts and the beer singlet. He is not actually Brad Pitt and probably has had limited contact with the opposite sex so any man in a skirt would probably look like an attractive woman to him. He is a newbie to this land and requires an education

Another news site stated he left his aussie wife at the market to shop alone while he went for a look around.

I'm sure this is what he was looking for.

They are the ones with the big "men feet".

It's always been a ladyboy hotspot. The sands before dawn are littered with them luring men from the footpath.

It's been going on since I can remember.

................................ Oh dear...............

When are tourist going to learn in Thailand not to flash money, gold, watches in the LOS when drinking in places like Patong or other tourist areas?

moral; dont go around randomly accepting hugs from groups of ladyboys. obviously.

Getting hugs from ladyboys is normal. But no gold chain, one hand on wallet, one on phone. Smile, keep on walking, murmmering "I like nit noi ladies", "bye, bye..."

It's because even the lady boys are 10 times better looking than what Australia has to offer.

Yea, Australian ladyboys are nowhere near as hot

I have never compared thai men to aussie blokes as it's not really my scene. I find men sexual repulsive and prefer women.

Thankyou Chook for your expert profiling of what sex tourist looks like.In Oz,judges,lawyers and dare i say police are found to be perverts,do they wear the above uniform or just a Sainters guernsey.

Men have been getting robbed down there by ladyboys since the beginning of tourism. The bars between the T junction and the police station is where they all congregate. It makes news every year. Same mob, just different tourists lured by curiosity.

Anything else?

Karon is a hot spot for crime on Phuket.

I am glad I live in the Patong Safety Zone.

That is one Aussie that I hope has learnt his lesson. Don't hug bloody ladyboys, unless of course he is your ladyboy . If you don't know what are the tell-tale characteristics of a ladyboy are, find out. Google it. Its a bit more than just tits and make-up.

That could be only a half baht chain. 30,000 baht offered for a bribe, the chain probably not worth that. False economies I would say.
