Pattaya Ladyboy Arrested in “Katoey Under the Bed Scam”

One of a pair of lady-boys, resorting to one of their favorite tricks of one hiding under the bed whilst the other had sex with the intended victim, who was then robbed, was successfully apprehended after nearly a year in hiding.

Pattaya, 11 March, 2010: nearly a year ago, a pair of katoeys (lady-boys) conspired to rob a Turkish short-time lover of one of them by having the one indulging in sex surreptitiously hand his accomplice, who was hiding under the bed, money from his lover’s pocket. The hidden accomplice then escaped while the sex-partner and his Turkish lover took a shower together.

Following notification from a senior police officer of the whereabouts of a fugitive robbery suspect and acting under the authority an arrest warrant, dated 30 April 2009, Major Arun Phromphan (Chief Inspector of Pattaya Tourist Police) and his team of Tourist Police swooped on a rented house in Soi Mabyailia, managing to arrest the suspect, Mongkhonchai Tharana, 27, from Thatakieb, Chacherngsao, who was found in the possession of Bt 12,000; all that remained from an original Bt1,830,000 stolen by Tharana and his accomplice.

Tharana was subsequently taken to Pattaya Tourist Police Station for interrogation. Once there, he confessed that he and his lady-boy accomplice, Jack, 27, had robbed Mr. Buren Karaboey, a Turkish national, of 61,000 Swiss Francs/Bt1,830,000. Tharana said that Mr. Buren had hired him for sex, but he had somehow sneaked his friend, Jack, into the hotel room and secreted him under the bed before sexual relations took place. During sex, Tharana had apparently managed to take the money from his victim’s pocket, nearby, and surreptitiously slipped it to Jack under the bed. Then, as Tharana and Buren took a shower together, Jack had escaped from the room to meet up later with Tharana and the pair escaped by car with the loot. Afterwards, the pair went to Malaysia, where they stayed until nearly all the money had run out, after which they returned to Pattaya. Jack is apparently still on the run.

The Tourist Police Commander, Maj. Gen. Adisorn Ngamjitsuksri, is apparently eager to rush this case to trial as it tarnishes Pattaya City’s image.

Somber Copp: You might remember in the original story the Turkish man Mr. Buren Karaboey was in fact paying TO BE 'poked' as you put it. For that reason alone I feel that he received his just deserts.

Nice work, Thai police. Seriously.

I also see you've taken a rather somber expression in your photo opps. Nice to have no laughing or smiles but neutral expressions are fine in my book.

And it just goes to show everyone that man should be able to poke another in the butt without losing it all.

Also a good example for Arab, Iranian, Indian, and Turkish buttbandits to check under the bed before you start, as you may have the luxury of having yourself as the ham in the sandwich for free

There is absolutely NO WAY that somebody keeps all of that money in their pocket, invites a trick back to the room and doesn't put it in the safe. NO WAY = INSURANCE SCAM!!
