Two Thai women were arrested for creating fake Facebook pages to scam tourists out of deposits for luxury resort bookings in Pattaya.


The suspects, identified only as Ms. Hattaya, 30, and Ms. Sirilak, 27, were arrested by Tourist Police at their residences in Chonburi and Samut Prakan provinces. Both face charges of “Fraud by entering false information into a computer system.”


According to police, the suspects created fake Facebook pages for a high-end resort on Koh Larn, Pattaya, to scam tourists into paying deposits for room bookings. Once the victims transferred the money, the suspects blocked them on Facebook and looked for new targets.

After gathering evidence, Thai Tourist Police tracked the suspects through their digital footprints and arrested Ms. Hattaya in Chonburi and Ms. Sirilak in Samut Prakan.


This arrest is part of a nationwide crime crackdown ordered by Pol Lt Gen Saksira Pueak-am, Commander of the Tourist Police, to prepare for the high tourist season.
