A 71-year-old French man, Mr. Pascat Gaston Pair Francais, was robbed in Pattaya by a transgender individual who slashed his bag and stole his mobile phone before fleeing.
Mr. Francais reported the crime to the Pattaya police, explaining that he was riding a songthaew from Soi Buakhao to Soi 6 when the theft took place. He noticed that his black bag had been cut with a knife and his Samsung Galaxy A34 phone was missing after disembarking at Soi 6.
The victim’s girlfriend, who requested anonymity, stated that they had been playing pool at a bar in Soi Buakhao before heading back to their accommodation. They took a songthaew to the Tops intersection and then transferred to another one bound for Soi 6. Upon reaching their destination, they realized that the phone was missing and the bag had been slashed. The girlfriend mentioned that the only other passenger on the songthaew was a transgender individual, leading them to suspect this person was responsible for the theft.
