CHONBURI — A 59-year-old Indian tourist has reported to police in Pattaya after being robbed of cash and foreign currency worth around 25,000 baht by two transgender women.
The report was filed at 1:06 on 11 April at Pattaya City Police Station with Lt. Sakayaphap Chaidech, deputy investigation officer.
The tourist said he lost 5,000 baht in cash, 300 US dollars and 300 euros after meeting two transgender women at Pattaya Beach and inviting them to his hotel room in Nong Prue subdistrict, Bang Lamung district.
He told police through an interpreter that he met the pair at the beach and agreed to bring them to his room. He later found his belongings missing and sought help from hotel security before going to police.
A hotel staff member said the foreign tourist ran down from his room wearing only a towel and reported that his money had been stolen. The staff added that a search of the two individuals was conducted, but no foreign currency was found at the time.
Police recorded the incident and coordinated with patrol officers to investigate. Authorities also documented the identities of the two transgender women involved and are reviewing CCTV footage to ensure fairness for all parties.
