kingalfred Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) These "travellers" from undeveloped poor or war torn countries are not tourists! Come to Thailand because its so easy to enter and then its a life of crime. Thailand needs to get REAL tough at entry points and tough punishments when convicted of crimes.These guys will just be deported....... and free to return again in the future.

Rimmer Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Iranian Shoplifters caught at Big C North Pattaya PATTAYA:--Late on Thursday Night Security Guards at the Big C Supercenter caught two Iranians attempting to take items from the store without making any effort to pay for them. Pattaya Police made their way to the store and arrested Mr. Mohamed Nejead aged 22 and Mr. Omid Solmahle aged 20. The pair were first spotted by Khun Tana, one of the Guards, entering the store with a large white empty bag. He decided to follow them and saw the pair take items of clothing and remove the price tags before placing them inside the bag. He continued to follow the pair who made their way out of the store with the white bag which was now full of clothes. At this point he approached the pair and challenged them for a receipt which they were unable to produce.

What a stupid comment, anti social crime yes but he'll you can kill people here in cold blood it seems for some it's hardly considered a crime. oh yeah, I know this kind of attitude. that's why London is full of shoplifters, while Singapore is not. "we should not blame the culprit, may be he was hungry, may be mother degraded him while he was a child" and these grown children keep harassing looting and killing innocent civilians. any sane method which leads to eradication of crimes is good Edited July 4, 2015 by TimmyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya28 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Getting caught stealing in Iran would result in the removal of a hand, so I can understand their option of Thailand. Good they were caught stealing by alert security. Infact, well done "Security". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextStationBangkok Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thaivisa titled the news correctly reporting "Two foreign tourists", instead of "English Tourists", "American Tourists", "Nigerian Tourists" etc. Then we cannot judge the people by skin color or by the nationality. Most people come here for a good time. But some wanted to land up bad time here, and goes to jails. Some of my Thai friends are afraid of traveling in France, because they got robbed twice there in the public transport, it does not mean that France is a bad country.
