PHUKET:-- An Indian tourist was reunited with his stolen jewelry after Patong Police tracked down the snatchers via CCTV footage and arrested them last night.

The victim, Dr Deepak Kumar Sharar, was visiting Phuket for a conference. He reported the incident, which occurred near Novotel Phuket Vintage Park Resort on Saturday night, to Patong Police. 

“Mr Kumar told us that two ladyboys approached him and initiated a conversation. Suddenly, one of them grabbed the chain from around his neck. The two then escaped the scene on a motorbike,” said Lt Col Somsak Thongkleang of Patong Police.

Talk about being hit with the ugly stick!

A bit careless for a farang tourist in Thailand to expose his gold. Yes, the streets of NYC or certain european countries are no better or even worse then Thailand, but still why tempt the gold diggers or thieves in Thailand by making display of wealth when touristing? Good job however from the police who arrested the culprits.

In over thirty years here, only met a total of two trust-worthy katoeys.

If I have to pass one in the street, I shove my hands in my pockets so they can't dip.
