By The Nation

 

 

PATTAYA: -- A South Korean tourist was left helpless as his Bt150,000 necklace was snatched by a motorcyclist on a Pattaya road late Tuesday night, police said.

 

The tourist, Kim Min Yan, 42, and his Thai girlfriend, filed a complaint at Pattaya Police Station at about 1.30am on Wednesday.

 

Kim said he and his girlfriend were on two motorcycle taxis en route to Soi Pattaya Beach 5 when a motorcycle caught up with his taxi and the rider snatched his necklace. He said the motorcyclist fled towards Pattaya Beach.

 

The South Korean said he bought the pendant necklace in South Korean for five million won, or about Bt150,000.

 

Police will check security cameras in the area to try to locate the motorcyclist.

Shocked, who would have imagined such a thing happening in Pattaya.

Anyway, soon to be a thing of the past when all the "happy zones" are up and running resulting in the City being crime free.

 

Happy Days ahead.  Medication time now.

Shocked that this could happen in a world class family resort....must be a one-off surely

Pattaya has always been the 'city of the snatch' .... so nothing's changed there.

I am sure his Thai girlfriend's boyfriend looks good in that necklace.

You are wrong. American and European tourist areas in tourist cities are much safer than the tourist area of Pattaya. That is why there are comments. Many petty crimes and assaults happen right on walking street, beach road and the streets nearby and no one gets caught almost always as well. There are less petty crimes and assaults in Times Sq and Trafalgar Sq.  Especially chains getting ripped off people's necks. Which is EXACTLY what this thread was about. You are wrong!

ROFL.  Yeah.  Like Chicago is typical...  

 

OK.  Sure.  If you want to compare Pattaya with Chicago for crime & safety, though I can't imagine why any diehard apologist would want to, I'll buy that.

... left after the first two nights as you could smell the evil, by Thais a few times, ...

That's the first time I have seen the olfactory senses used as a gauge of Pattaya's criminality. Top marks for originality... but most likely it was the Beach Road poop factory that smelled bad.
