Pattaya police have successfully followed up on a case of last month where a drunken foreign tourist was persuaded to go to a hotel with three men whom he thought were sexy women.

The case started when Mr. Uwe Hufshmidt from Germany reported to the Pattaya police that he had woken up in the Lucky Inn with his possessions including a credit card, a golden diamond bracelet, loose cash and a mobile phone all missing. He did not quite remember how he got there.

Later the next day staff from a mobile shop in Central Festival Pattaya Beach informed the police that two ladyboys came to the store and purchased items totaling 107,712 baht. However, staff found the transaction suspicious since the credit card used to pay for the items was in a foreign name. When the staff asked the men for their identification, they left the credit card at the store and fled in their high heels.

The sad part here is that the only reason the LBs are plying walking street is to steal from drunk tourists, and for some reason the police let them. What if a gang of ordinary male thieves were standing there with masks and knives, robbing everyone who passes them, would that be allowed too? If not, then what is the difference?

And no, it is not the tourists own fault as he chooses to go with them, quite often they simply rob you when passing by in the street!

Now, THAT's a funny story.
He picked them up at Lucifer Disco (he didn't get the hint)
He thought at least one of them was a woman (based on what?)
He booked a room at the Lucky Inn (Well, not THAT lucky after all...)
The Lady boys spent over a 107K on cell phone with someone else credit card (Mr. Uwe Hufshmidt’s mobile phone wasn't good enough?)
"apprehended by the long arm of the law." (now, that's something new in Pattaya!!!!)
Two of the men said they were sorry for the inconvenience. (the third one is speechless)

I wonder if it was really necessary to publish the full name of the victim in this article 5 times. But maybe he will feel better after he reads that 2 out of the 3 who robbed him are “sorry for the inconvenience”. TiT
