Crime Mall Worker Terrified as Knife-Wielding Thieves Steal Cash & Ring in Pattaya
UPDATE Sales Assistant Fabricates Robbery to Cover Up Missing Cash From Boyfriend Picture courtesy of Siam News. A sales assistant in Pattaya has admitted to fabricating a story about being robbed at knifepoint in order to cover up the loss of 32,000 baht in cash, after a police investigation revealed no evidence of the alleged incident. The woman, identified as 37-year-old Ms. Rattana, initially claimed that she had been attacked by three knife-wielding men while riding her motorbike home from work near Siam Country Club Road in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District. She told police that the alleged attackers, whom she described as drug-addicted youths on two motorbikes, had made off with 32,000 baht in cash and an engagement ring. The case, treated as a serious crime, prompted officers from Bang Lamung Police Station to launch a full investigation, including a detailed review of CCTV footage from the surrounding area. However, investigators found no evidence to support Ms. Rattana’s claim. Footage showed no suspicious activity at the time of the supposed incident, only the presence of police officers, reporters, and Ms. Rattana herself later at the scene. Growing suspicious, the police summoned Ms. Rattana for further questioning. After initially ignoring phone calls, she was eventually brought in for a formal interview. During an interrogation lasting over an hour, she broke down and confessed to inventing the story. She admitted that she had lost the money herself and feared telling her British boyfriend, worrying he would become angry. Hoping to cover up the loss, she went to the police to file a false report in order to show him an official statement. She did not expect the situation to escalate into the media and report the story publicly. Visibly emotional during questioning, Ms. Rattana expressed deep remorse, tearfully apologising to the police and acknowledging the harm her actions had caused. She also revealed that her boyfriend ended their relationship after learning the truth. A single mother, she admitted the stunt was a desperate act made without thinking about the consequences. Deputy Superintendent Pol. Lt. Col. Kornpong Sookvisith confirmed that officers had examined all available CCTV footage multiple times and after failing to find any corroborating evidence, held a joint meeting with the investigation and intelligence units. Confident the report was false, they summoned the woman for further questioning, ultimately leading to her confession. “This case is an important example of the consequences of filing a false police report,” said Lt. Col. Kornpong. “It not only wastes police resources but also damages the image of the area. Such actions are against the law and will not be tolerated.” The case is now being processed under laws relating to filing false reports with authorities.

Is "Putinization" a more accurate way to describe what Trump is doing to America?
Ever since the election, I've had this persistent mental hitchhiker. It won't get out of my head, and frankly, it's starting to smell a bit like stale campaign promise. How would Donald Trump deal with Thainess?- 1

The Prime Minister emphasised that her schedule was predominantly occupied with official duties, leaving her with only a brief opportunity for leisure at the airport on her last day. During her UK visit, she engaged in discussions with the British Department of Trade and Industry, exploring market needs and deliberating on the prospects of establishing a Free Trade Agreement.
