Pattaya Tourist fleeced by gambling hooker

Tricked tourist identifies Pattaya Hooker who robbed him

Pattaya: Beach Road Hooker caught leaving the country with stolen goods

Despite continued advise to tourists to avoid the charms of the habitual hookers that inhabit Beach Road after dusk, it seems that every week, another falls prey to their evil ways. Police have made every effort to clear the area, installing bright lights and CCTV, but still they come, and a steady stream of single men walk the area, with the look of mesmerised rabbits caught in car headlights.

This week it was the turn of an Englishman, Alan E Basham ( name per translation from Thai reports) to taste the less than enjoyable pleasures of a trickster, as he engaged 48 year old Mis Jidapa in a conversation which lead to their walking to his room in a Pattaya second road Hotel as a couple.

Arm in arm, they purchase a couple of coffees and 2 bottles of Baccardi breezers on the way and slipped quietly and quickly into his rented abode where, at her insistence, he went to have a shower.

Returning to the Bedroom she slipped him a little something in his drink and the sum of his nocturnal adventure was a night of uncontrollable sleep, caused by drugs, from which he only awoke when Hotel staff came to check that he was OK.

Once awake he quickly found that everything of value had disappeared from his room. His Lady of the night had taken flight.. along with an estimated value of 60,000 bahts worth of sellable goods.

Pattaya Tourist Police were called and the man gave them as much information as he could, which didn’t add to much as their friendship had been very short lived. Hotel staff, however, were also helpful and the Police quickly established her identity as a known Lady of very little virtue. Beach Road locals and others told them that the woman was planning an escape to Cambodia, and so Local officials liaised with those in the border areas of Chantaburi and immigration officials kept an eye out for her.

Arrested as she tried to cross the border, she confessed to the theft and said that she was massively in debt due to an uncontrollable gambling habit and was planning to use the money she got from the sale of the stolen goods, to play in the Borderside Casinos of Cambodia. She was then detained while arrangements were made to return her to Pattaya and face her fate

Returned to Pattaya, an embarassed and angry tourist was quick to identify her to the Police as the woman who had commited the deed and Police are now hoping that others will recognise her and come forward if they too have been similarly treated.

Pattaya Police have worked extremely hard this year to reduce crime amongst the tourist population and to drive the criminal element away from tourist zones. This type of crime was prevalent up to a year ago and an almost every day occurrence, as the less desirable of hookers and members of the alternative gender mastered the skills of slipping drugs to unsuspecting clients. Recent efforts have, to date, have reduced the incident count. Its thought that she will be sent to court and, once sentenced, will serve prison time.

The 69 year old man appeared to have recovered well from the incident earlier in the month when he was taken from the hotel by medical services on a stretcher and given hospital treatment to make sure he recovered from the effect of the unknown drug.

One person who will less than enamoured with the whole incident will be the wife of the drugged Brit who, at the time, was reported to have been away on a short visit to her family “up country” when the incident occurred.

Apart from the obvious loss of goods, the danger remains that the drugs used by these types of thieves are often of undetermined strength and manufacture. In some case the pharmacy used can cause mental damage if enough is taken and, in women, cause sterility. The Pattaya Hospital, however was able to determine that the man had taken only sleeping pills and that while dangerous in large amounts, he had only digested a maximum of 8 pills
