Adorable’ Thai thieves caught robbing a tourist at temple



A man has captured the moment two young pickpockets slipped his girlfriend's watch from her wrist as she posed for a photograph with them at a Thai temple

A man has captured the moment two young pickpockets slipped his girlfriend’s watch from her wrist as she posed for a photograph with them at a Thai temple.

The man posted an image to Reddit of the two young girls wearing brightly coloured traditional Thai costumes holding his girlfriend’s arm earlier this month outside Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, a province in Thailand’s north, on Sunday night.

The woman, who has not been named, smiled as one of the cunning thieves gently unclasped her wrist watch while her partner captured a photograph, with the travelling couple only noticing once they reviewed their holiday snapshots.

‘This pic solved the mystery of the missing watch,’ he wrote, conceding the pair had a bit to drink before going to the temple.

Thousands of people commented on the thread, with some Reddit users sharing their own pictures of the two girls from their own trips.

‘I’ve seen those little thieves before,’ one man wrote. ‘Adorable, adorable thieves. I didn’t suspect a thing when I saw them,’ said another.

‘I’ve seen those little thieves before,’ one man wrote. ‘Adorable, adorable thieves. I didn’t suspect a thing when I saw them,’ said another.

One reddit user said the girls must be the ‘two most popular child thieves in all of Asia’, while another observed there were around six girls in the same outfit and guessed they could be an ‘organised gang’.

One tourist said he must have dodged a bullet as he decided made the last minute decision not to have a photograph with the pair.

‘Holy c**p! I was tempted to ask for a photo with them when we saw them at the temple but didn’t want to be ‘that tourist’ and was also worried that their momager, who was lingering around, might scream at me for money if I went near them.’

Some commented on their pick pocketing style, noting they touched their target in several places so she didn’t notice her watch being snatched.

‘Notice how the thief is touching her hand in several places? It’s a pickpocket technique so that the mark gets accustomed to being touched by the thief and stops registering all of the touches.’

While others said the girls were likely poor and were stealing to make a living for their family.
‘A thousand plus people visit that site daily. I’m pretty sure those girls are dressed up to simply take pictures with tourists for tips. It’s probably the family’s income.’

Distraction and opportunity the keys to a good pickpocket. " Beware Pickpockets About!!" You think this would be a good thing, as it warns you. But the pickpocket is so happy to see that sign. 90% of people will touch or look where their wallet is upon seeing that sign. Little shits watch and go for it!.

There's one re-incarnated every minute

One of my Thai clients lost a phone on a visit to China like that.
Mobbed by a bunch of cute little girls on the street couldn't help himself but pose for a photo taken by his colleague. After they had quickly scampered of he noticed his phone was gone.

Attitude adjustment. ..little cherubs

or would that explain why the other cherub did not rape the open handbag

I should imagine the PM getting involved in this when it goes viral.
If it is a troll story then it's very cruel.

look at the tourists hand on her handbag lol

Thais wouldn't stoop so low, it is plain to see that those pickpockets are not Thai but the Burmese hill tribe.

^ Heh...TD CSI International, now on the job...

Where does it say or suggest they found the watch ???

So no report was filed by the couple at any Thai Police station? The BIB just pulled in the family for questioning, because they saw a viral piece on Social Media. Which is quite possibly completely made up for all anyone knows.

Amateurs.

Check the yellow writing above in my post ,

Ben has a future after all.

At least until he's 12.

That girl on the left is as worn out as me
i wonder how many hours a day do they have to do it for ?
Don't seem right , working at thet age

^ those girls may be traditional models for a while, but when they get a little older they will retire as their daughters will take over the family business.
Watch this publicity will only promote their photographic enterprise, watch as tourists flock for a FB pic with the pair.

Last time my mother came here I took her on a canal tour of the BKK canals etc.

She was big and happy waving to the teenage monks on the banks of the river as if she's the first Westerner they've ever seen.



Not to compare you to my mother, of course.

Bollocks to that.

I was living in CM in 2006 and was getting True installed.

I went up to Doi Pui (the hilltribe village just past doi suthep) every single house had a brand new pick up and True satellite dish on the roof.

The poor Thais eh. Let's give them money.

The children are working. Even Thailand enforces the laws regarding child labour. Prosecute the parents.

British tabloids apologize to hilltribe girls for theft allegations

CHIANG MAI, 21 March 2017 (NNT) – British tabloids have sent notes of apologies to the family of two northern hilltribe girls which they earlier accused of stealing items from tourists in their online articles.

Chiang Mai provincial governor Pawin Chamniprasert, alongside Honorary Consul of the British Consulate in Chiang Mai Ben Robert Svasti, delivered the notes of apologies from The Sun, Daily Mail, The Telegraph, and Daily Express in the United Kingdom and Australia to the family of the two Hmong girls.

The two girls were accused of stealing a watch from a British tourist while visiting Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple in Chiang Mai. The article went public in October 2016, and has since affected the Hmong family and the tourism image of the province.

It was later revealed after an investigation that the tourist in the article had not lost her watch. The four tabloids have then edited the article to show it was such groundless allegations.

The affected family has revealed after receiving the apology letters that they are grateful for the gesture and that the truth has been verified, and that they have been teaching their children to be good and honest people despite their poor status.
