LB spends 55k Baht on Swiss man's card

NOTE -- The headline should read "55K baht"

A ladyboy has been arrested and charged with theft after admitting to stealing a Swiss man’s credit card after a late night romp in Walking Street.

 

Everything seemed normal for the tourist after he had enjoyed a bit of fun with the ladyboy which he had willingly picked up from Walking Street, late at night.

 

A short while later, however, he realised that his credit card was missing, but thought nothing of it and decided that he would deal with the problem the following day.

 

Unfortunately for him, he could a nasty shock the following day when he realised that over 55,000 baht had been spent using his missing card. The only conclusion was that the ladyboy had stolen it and so he went straight to the police to file a report.

 

After filing the report and giving police a very accurate description of the suspect, it didn’t take police long at all to track down and make the arrest of the culprit.

 

The suspect, Sutthipong Lamsoong, 33, told police that Raffael Denungs, 29, had taken him to his room, but after their romp, he felt the need to steal the Swiss man’s credit card.

 

Mr. Denum showed police a bank statement showing a total of 55,828 baht in goods had been run up on his card.

 

This was not the first time Sutthipong had stolen from a tourist. As well as admitting this particular incident, he also asked police to add the charge to a previous incident involving an Irish man.

Police charged the suspect for both incidents for theft.

 

Amazingly, the Swiss tourist was happy to smile for the cameras with police and local chief Apichai Krobpetch, after all was said and done.

So, I wonder how much it cost him to get them to investigate and resolve the case then ?

 

He'll maybe have an interesting time trying to get his credit card company to write off that debt on the basis that he's admitted that in effect he left his card unattended and unsecured, that perhaps was the point of the police action in the first place to help bolster this later claim perhaps?

Always use the room safe.

Your Swiss hometown reading the news and seeing what you've been up to in Thailand, priceless.

You are only guilty if you are being pointed-at! LOL
