A young Chinese tourist had a rough day when she was the victim of a bag snatch and then minutes later the victim of a motorcycle accident on the way to the police station.
Miss Meng Yin Qi was riding on a motorcycle with her friend near Soi 5 when two Thai youths riding a Honda Wave motorcycle approached. The guy on the back snatched the handbag from her shoulder and then rode off at high speed.
A nearby motorcycle taxi driver stepped up to the mark and immediately took the young lady to Pattaya Police Station. Unfortunately the bike she was now on was in a minor road accident with another car. She arrived at the police station shaken and stirred and more than a little distraught.
Her bag contained a Digital Camera, 2,000 Baht in cash, a mobile phone and her Passport. Now she was in tears as she realised that her return home would have to be delayed until she could get a replacement passport from the Chinese embassy in Bangkok.
The police sent out details immediately on the radio and went to the location of the robbery but as of yet the poor young Chinese lady stays a little poorer and stays in Pattaya waiting for replacement paperwork. All so two thieving Thai thugs can get their next fix of Yaa Baa and a bottle of whiskey.
