A-Go-Go, Then A-Gone-Gone

PATONG: An English tourist celebrating Valentine’s Day with her husband and two friends had her purse stolen as they watched go-go dancers on Patong’s Soi Bangla. Mrs Evin Annerry, 56, lost 1,500 baht, her credit card and other valuables when she, her husband and friends paused for a few minutes to watch the dancers from the sidewalk along the glittering soi. Mrs Annerry, who is staying at the Coconut Village Hotel in Patong, told Kathu police that after watching the show the group went off to celebrate Valentine’s Day at a nearby restaurant. On the way, she noticed she was no longer in possession of her purse.
