reader Posted November 5 Posted November 5 From Pattaya News A Chinese tourist in Pattaya was robbed of an expensive platinum necklace after being approached by three transgender individuals who reportedly offered sexual services to him near Pattaya Beach. At 2:00 AM on November 3rd, Pattaya police received a report that a Chinese tourist had been robbed near Pattaya Beach, opposite Soi Pattaya Beach 6. Upon receiving the report, officers rushed to the scene, along with The Pattaya News reporters. There, the victim, identified as Mr. Shen Yanqing, a 37-year-old Chinese national, was waiting with his friend to provide their statement to the authorities. Mr. Shen stated that he had come to visit Pattaya and was staying at a hotel in Central Pattaya. While walking around to enjoy the nighttime atmosphere and lights at the beach, three individuals, whom he believed were transgender, approached him and reportedly offered their sexual services. They attempted to distract him by hugging and touching him, but Mr. Shen said he and his friends were not interested and immediately walked away. The group, pretending to be upset by the rejection, quickly fled the scene. The whole interaction occurred within less than three minutes, Mr. Shen said. However, shortly afterward, Mr. Shen noticed that his platinum necklace, valued at over 120,000 baht, had gone missing. He was certain that the group of transgenders had stolen it. He and his friends tried to find them, but they were nowhere to be found. After the incident, Mr. Shen decided to report the theft to the police. Pattaya police are reviewing CCTV footage, which is expected to have captured the suspects during the crime and their escape. The investigation is ongoing. The Pattaya News notes that this incident took place on the same day when a transgender woman was caught allegedly pickpocketing a Korean tourist on a Baht bus. vinapu 1 Quote
