Meet Attila the Hun(garian) - not such a quality tourist

Image: Daily News

Chiang Mai police announced the arrest of a Hungarian tourist who they say has been thieving all over Chiang Mai.

Attila Kantor, 44, told cops that he had fallen in love with Chiang Mai but had run out of money and didn't want to go back to his homeland. So he tuned to theft so he could stay on in Thailand, selling on things that he stole.

He was arrested yesterday after he stole an iPhone 6 from the Nit Noi Mobile shop in Prasingh Road downtown Chiang Mai.

He had gone into the shop feigning interest in buying a phone but had grabbed one and taken off on his Honda Click 125. Police followed his trail from CCTV and found him but he escaped only to collide with another person and cause an injury.

He was then taken into custody. Police said that he was responsible for renting bikes and selling them rather than return them. He had also been eating meals and racing off without paying.

He was detained and readied for prosecution for theft.

You forgot that little island off of France,they are getting poorer by the day.

[sahibji]

some of the reports are amazing e.g

the police are preparing to prosecute

him theft.

likely he would by now be an over stayer and hence

an immigration case.

stealing to maintain his upkeep, selling off rented motor bikes.

can't believe the life he was leading.

You mean Corsica, certainly? (they think they're not French)

Amazed how Siam122 didn't even bother spelling the names of the countries targeted by his racist/xenophobic rant properly.

As for Portugal, just hoping they won't steal the cup tonight.

I was also going to post something Lupatria........... I don't usually do the grammar police bit.....but I was well tempted.

I am really glad he didn't get physical with that Tourist policeman-----you wouldn't know what chin to hit......

I sponsor a Filipino child and I was very upset after reading his letter about how his family are all dead.----His spelling was dreadful.

I've never heard of these countries you refer to:

Check, Hungaria, Slowakey, Letoania, Ukrainia or Portogol.

Could you kindly point them out on the map of the alternate universe you seem to be living in.
