2 foreign women caught stealing from souvenir shop in Krabi
A Thai vendor issued a warning to others after two foreign women stole souvenirs from his shop on Railay Beach in the southern province of Krabi on April 7.
The owner of the souvenir shop, 45 year old Paithun shared CCTV footage of the theft on TikTok to alert other vendors in the area about the two foreign thieves.
In the video, the foreign women were seen browsing various products in the shop. One of them stopped at a shelf of handmade feather hangers and took one to show to her friend.
The woman carried the hanger in her hand and pretended to browse other products before quickly putting it into her fanny pack and leaving the shop.
Another woman grabbed a handmade hair tie, turned her back to the security camera, and immediately walked out of the shop concealing the stolen item.
Paithun told Channel 7 that the theft took place around 1.40pm on Sunday, April 7. The stolen products were worth about 200 baht, and he did not report the theft to the police.
“The souvenirs that they stole were not worth much, so I did not report it to the police. I shared the video on TikTok to alert other vendors in the area. I saw that they did not buy anything from the shop and decided to check the CCTV camera. I think they were planning to steal.”
The incident echoes another theft involving foreigners reported at a cannabis shop in Pattaya in February. In that case, two foreign men were caught on CCTV stealing 1,500 baht worth of ganja from the shop. One of them distracted the shop staff by asking for product details so that another could steal the products.
Another theft was reported in Phuket in March when a Thai man was caught stealing a Thai flag from outside an office in the province. The man was seen pulling the flag from its pole and leaving the scene.
No arrests have been reported for the foreign suspects in these two cases.
