200,000 Baht’s worth of foreign currency and other items stolen from Englishman’s Hotel Room in Soi Beokeow.

"In the early hours of Wednesday Morning, Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaleurmgiet from Pattaya Police Station was called to the Tina Sweet Hotel in Soi Beokeow after a report of theft from one of the Hotel rooms was reported. Police arrived and spoke with the occupant of the room, Mr. Samuel Kirk aged 63 from England who lives with his girlfriend, Khun Sawalak aged 29. She explained that the pair had gone out to Walking Street but Khun Sawalak returned first after the pair had a dispute during their night out. She returned to find her room had been ransacked and the room safe had been broken into to. Inside the safe was around 200,000 Baht’s worth of UK Currency, two Kasikornbank books and Mr. Kirk’s passport along with other personal documents which were all taken. There were no signs of forced entry into the room and Police believe the perpetrators had a key suggesting it could either be an “inside job” or a previous occupant of the room who had made a copy of the key. Police are now investigating further, as Mr. Kirk now counts the cost of his night out on Walking Street."

oh i wonder who did that lol

caught it on the news used a drill to open safe and left the drill behind

I imagine they can afford a new, more powerful drill for the next job now.

Sounds like she let her Thai boyfriend into the room to screw the safe over.

Thats way i always take travelchecks with me they cant do shit with that and i get my checks back in 24 hours.

Always amazes me when someone keeps that much money in their hotel room. Drug dealer?

That why i always bring my flexible friends ( credits cards), safe and sound... I once brought 2 million bahts in cash, too much worry and hassle to count them daily... Credit Cards is the one who will do all the business for you, no carry cash, easy sleep without a worry,no need to have a safe, Etc....

Yep, she fucked him over..looks like he's the one with the sore ass now after getting fucked.

Don't want this to come across like I'm "charlie big bananas" but I have had that sort of cash in my hotel room safe or in the hotels safety box in the past. I know it seems an awful lot of cash to have, but for some people who don't have credit cards or ATM cards it's their only way. (Travellers cheques are an option I know)

BTW I am not a drug dealer LOL,I'm just a plumber boy!!

Old news I know, but still feel sorry for the guy unless he is a 63 year old drug dealer!!
Obvious who's done this really.

ps: jocky king I would of shat myself carrying 2mills worth of baht mate, 2mills of Viet Dong no worries LOL

Cheers
