A nice Aussie chap that is on holiday with his son in Chiang Mai had his holiday disrupted when he found $AUS1500.00 missing.
He had left the cash in a satchel inside his suitcase and when he went to retrive some money he found it was missing. The room was locked nd there ws no sign of forced entry.
On notifying the hotel staff he ws was met by blank stares and much shrugging of shoulders. No offers of condolences and no furious dialing of the police telephone numbers.
After asking for the manager he was told that hewas not in but would arrive soon.
When he returned to the lobby a short time later and asked if the manager had arrived he was informed that he had but was just having a coffee at the moment. Which went down very well.
With the hotel failing to help he visited the police who returned with him the hotel. The were joined by 3 plain clothes investigators. After sampling the mans wine and cigarettes extensively they comiserated over his loss and said they do everything possible to find the perpetrator.
