Woman Steals Tourists Necklace During Live Stream In Bangkok

The holidaymaker, from Ghent, Belgium, brushed away the woman but shortly after he realised that the gold chain was now missing from his neck

This is the astonishing moment a tourist’s video selfie captured a Thai woman stealing a gold chain from around his neck.

Frederik de Vreese, 25, was recording the clip showing off the nightlife as he walked past a five-star hotel on the Sukhumvit Road area of Bangkok, on Tuesday night.

During the video, a woman approached him and put her arms around his neck. She can be heard offering adult services, saying: ‘Where you go, honey? I go to your room, I go f*** you.

The holidaymaker, from Ghent, Belgium, brushed away the woman but shortly after he realised that his expensive gold chain was missing.

Frederik watched back his video and saw that he had been pick pocketed in under 10 seconds by the thief, but it was too late to find her.

The holidaymaker, who has reported the theft to police, said: ‘The chain belonged to my grandfather, it was in the family for many years. I think it was worth around 800 euros (£675).

‘I’m devastated. It had a lot of sentimental value.’ Mr de Vreese said he reported the incident to police this afternoon and they had started an investigation.

He added: ‘I think the thief was part of a gang. She had a very distinctive tattoo so I hope that people can help to track her down.’

The Thai capital has signs in English and Chinese at various points warning tourists about pickpockets and grab thieves.

Sukhumvit Road is Bangkok’s busiest nightlife area, where high-rise hotels, shopping malls and offices can be found alongside bars in Soi Cowboy and the Nana Plaza.

Thai police said Frederik confirmed he had never met the woman in the video before.

A spokesman said they were hunting the woman on suspicion of ‘stealing by stealth at night’, with crimes committed at night considered more severe.

They added: ‘Officers at Lumphini Police Station are now checking CCTV cameras at the scene to speed up the identification of the perpetrators to prosecute them as soon as possible.’
