CCTV footage of the incident was shared on social media by Facebook user Wiyada Wittayatantithem on Sunday, with a caption that read: “Please beware of this foreign woman. She stole things from a store in Patong and then signaled to a foreign man who picked her up on a big bike, after which the pair escaped.” Santi Pruekprathin, the owner of ‘BJ Souvenir’ said the stolen merchandise was only worth 380 baht and he does not intend to file charges of theft, but wants this to serve as a warning to other businesses and the general public. The video was widely shared on social media.

Retiredandhappyhere Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The official version then is that it is foreigners who are giving Thailand a bad name and not Thai's at all. So come to Thailand but beware of foreigners (i.e. non-Thais)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Also yesterday, 1000 other shopliftings occurred, all committed by locals, but none of these made the news.

Retiredandhappyhere Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Perhaps they could re-deploy some of the 1000 police who are apparently no longer needed to arrest the errant abbot, seeing as this latest shop-lifting case is clearly so important. Yes, it is theft and therefore a crime but it pales into insignificance compared with all the horrendous things that happen in Thailand every day of the week. The police are so lucky that no shoplifter is ever found to be a Thai, as otherwise they might find their hands full and need everyone of those reluctant arresters outside the spaceship.

It's only interesting because it gives people another chance to be indignant about foreigners. If you watch the Thai TV news shows every morning, they show lots of CCTV clips of shoplifting, thefts etc. It's only made the English-language media and ThaiVisa because it's a foreigner.
