    Chiang Mai Locals nab knife wielding bandit

    Locals nab knife wielding bandit

    Injured tourist lands in hospital Saksit Meesubkwang
    Local residents jumped into action last May 24 and apprehended a purse snatcher after he robbed two tourists from the Netherlands on holiday in Chiang Mai.


    The ladies were walking in the alley of Wat Muangmang, Rajachiangsaen road of the Wiang Haeng area of the city when 19 year old Thawatchai Taping and another accomplice threatened them with a knife and robbed them of their shoulder bags which contained cash, ATM cards, digital cameras and other personal items.
    One of the ladies put up a struggle with the thieves and was badly injured.
    The commotion attracted the attention of passersby who came to the rescue of the tourists and were able to detain one of the bandits until police arrived on the scene. The accomplice was able to flee.


    While both ladies were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment the police charged Thawatchai with committing robbery and causing bodily harm. The robber confessed that he had committed several robberies around the flyover at Wattanothaipayap School.
    He is currently in custody at the Muang Chiang Mai Police Station and police are searching for his accomplice.

    Violence against tourists is on the increase unfortunatley in CM so I have read today in City Life.apparantly a meeting of 300 policemen has been held as the powers that be want the situation resolved pdq.

    As an aside I have seen a lot of Thai on Thai violence recently outside my restaurant......A Thai or Burmese (Burmese are not liked much up here)thrown out of a car by 4 Thais then virtually beaten to death before people could get accross the road to help him and the purps jumped into an unlit car and sped off like the cowards they are...drive by whackings where a car will pass a motorcy and whack the rider with a piece of 4x2..this has happened TWICE at 1am in the morning...and the last act of violence was commited by a Cow that got in a speeding motorcy's way ...the rider was killed instantly.


    There is an awful lot of violence against Burmese that we hear nothing of, a freind of mine knew a Burmese Boy .19 ...who was kicked to death and left to die in the street.....no fuss..no police enquiry ...he was cremated at 12pm the same morning he died.

    Burmese are treated as sub human up here I am sorry to say.
