Here It Is Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Let's remember that the Thai who lost the phone would probably have to work a few months solid, or more, to afford a new one. Shame on the thieving couple. Ugly bastards, inside and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can park your scooter with jacket, shopping, bags hanging out, with keys in the ignition, no one will touch them. You can forget your phone at the pool and it will be there the next day. That's the beauty of this town, I hope it will last, but the actions of such people make me doubt it. Well this happened in chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago I read that someone criticized Saudi Arabia for being barbaric because they would cut off a thieves hand just for stealing a loaf of bread and someone then replied that not many people steal bread there.

welovethailand Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Why so much trouble over a phone? Anyone can grab a phone, as most just let them hang out of their back pocket. I really don't care, as I don't use them. But, a smart person would have a tracker on their phone and would be able to find it soon. Its like if you have children with phones, as a good parent you should have their GPS coordance and you would know where they are at all times. CCTV? Think of all the stuff those things get. Like 2 grown men eskorting a young boy to their room...Hmmm?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximillian Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 4 hours ago, dopenhagen said: Petty opportunistic theft is being punished peculiarly harsh by the TV peanut gallery... and the rhetoric, try and replace the word "farang" in the subject with "Thai" and see how it sounds... I think the most disgusting about this story is the way this story is being dealt with... For example, people who believe a 12 month prison sentence in Thailand is an appropriate response to petty opportunistic theft of a phone should be put under observation and possibly send through therapy, there is something wrong with them... more so than the pathetic scum who stole the phone... I have lost more phones in Thailand to theft than I like to remember, but theft is part of the human condition and not related to people being Thai, so would never say "nasty Thai thief" because the thief is Thai, I would say "nasty Taxi driver thief" since stealing from passengers reflects in those situations on the position of being a taxi driver, not a Thai person... Foreign thieves give foreigner here in TH a bad name, a bad reputation. For most of us farang it matters far more whether the thief is a Thai or a farang. Petty opportunistic theft I'd call a child stealing some fruit in somebody's garden, or something like that. Stealing an unattendet phone is very, very low. But wait... maybe the thieving couple's phone got stolen the other day and they just wanted to replace it. Hope they get caught soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Pholsomsuk Paisarn, the Facebook poster linked in the OP, has updated the story with a new post 2 hours ago.

A 5000 Baht reward for a crappy phone that's probably barely worth 5000 Baht if you tried to sell it at MBK - what's on that phone that the owner is willing to basically buy back their own phone?
