webfact Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Video: Tourist thieves set to net a little over 300 baht each! PATTAYA: -- Sanook reported that the footage shown at the weekend that captured three apparent tourists stealing a woman's bag was recorded in Pattaya. And there was just 1000 baht in the woman's bag meaning it will not be a great payday for the gang. Although the name of the restaurant was not mentioned they said that the location was a place on Pattaya Sai 2 frequented by mostly foreigners, Sanook reported. Some people had suggested earlier that the location was Bangkok. Sanook said that the victim was a Thai woman and that she had reported the matter to Wuthipong Cheunchom at Pattaya police station who was in possession of the CCTV footage. Subsequent efforts to trace the victim have failed, however. Inside the bag was just 1,000 baht an ATM card and a few documents relating to the civil service. The footage was recorded on Friday at 2.59 and many people have gone online to call for the arrest of the team of men.

dictater Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The reference to these guys being tourists, or foreign thieves gives the totally wrong impression. These guys are not here traveling, or even 'visiting' they are professional even if low level thieves. Giving this story the headline Tourist Thieves is very misleading.

These guys are not here traveling, or even 'visiting' they are professional even if low level thieves. Giving this story the headline Tourist Thieves is very misleading. The wording of the title is absolutely correct. They are foreign "tourist thieves" meaning they are not Thai and caught in the act of stealing. So "tourist thieves" works. From the CCTV we cannot determine if they derive most of their income from stealing, which is what "professional" means. So your suggestion of the word "professional" would be less appropriate. Professional - engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime. Edited March 28, 2017 by Pui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It would appear that, now Thailand has become an international place of fun and sex, that in its aging and notoriety, the scum of the world are coming here to try their hands at thievery and robbery.

I think you miss the point once again. 12 hours ago, webfact said: PATTAYA: -- Sanook reported that the footage shown at the weekend that captured three apparent tourists stealing a woman's bag was recorded in Pattaya. No they didn't. They reported, past tense, they thought it was in BKK as stated below. They did not report that it was recorded in Pattaya as stated above. CCTV footage captures the moment a gang of three foreigners are seen stealing the handbag of a woman in the food court believed to be at a popular Bangkok shopping mall. For Sanook to say.. "Sanook reported that the footage shown at the weekend that captured three apparent tourists stealing a woman's bag was recorded in Pattaya"... is a completely erroneous. Their initial report doesn't even mention Pattaya. They've changed history in a space of 12 hrs. 12 hours ago, webfact said: Some people had suggested earlier that the location was Bangkok. This it what they ran with (hearsay), hence reporting they thought it was a popular BKK shopping mall, without, it would seem, doing a bit of journalism, i.e. checking facts. If you think journalists reporting on hearsay instead of fact is quality, then I guess you must be a fan of British tabloids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the one missing the point is you. All the reports referred to beliefs or thoughts about the location there were no specific statements that the theft definitely took place in Bangkok or Pattaya To quote what you posted; "They reported, past tense, they thought it was in BKK..." "...believed to be at a popular Bangkok shopping mall." "Sanook reported that the footage shown at the weekend that captured three apparent tourists stealing a woman's bag was recorded in Pattaya"... is a completely erroneous.

dinsdale Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) OK hows this. They said one thing now they're saying they said something else. The initial thing they said (believed to be in BKK) was based on hearsay which is what they're saying today. They are also saying today that yesterday [Sanook reported that the footage shown at the weekend that captured three apparent tourists stealing a woman's bag was recorded in Pattaya. ] Yesterday they did not report this. If I am wrong and yesterday they reported the footage was recorded in Pattaya, please be kind enough to post it. Maybe I missed the bit about Pattaya in yesterday's story.

I think that can be demonstrated to occur both ways. Here we have a group of presumed tourists behaving in a way that shames many other tourists, and nearby some locals will be working to build their own bad reputation.... probably very close to where this occurred.

Khon Kaen Dave Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 rmacee Scum like these people have no respect for any country, full stop.They will ply their miserable trade, where ever they go.Until they are caught. Lets hope they are caught in a country where the prison conditions and its inmates are, shall we say, less than hospitable? Maybe here comes to mind, or some of the hotels in Mexico, or south America.I hear that Lapaz is quite pleasant this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
