Pattaya, 28th August 2010 [PDN]: At approximately 01:00 am on Saturday, Lieutenant Colonel Phongsawad Wongwan (Pattaya Police Investigator) was notified of a drugging and subsequent theft of an American tourist, which took place at the S.T. Court, South Pattaya, Banglamung, room no. 7, on the second floor.
Reporting to the Police in the state of semi consciousness from being drugged, Mr. James Edward Porter JR [45] an American national, explained to Lt. Col. Wongwan that he was woken up by staff of the hotel, to find that he had been drugged and robbed by a Thai woman whom he had taken to his room in the early hours of the morning.

Mr. Edward Porter revealed that he had been at a bar in Walking Street, when a Thai Woman approached him and together they both spent some time drinking until he became drunk, after which, he took her to his room where he suddenly lost consciousness.
According to Mr. Porter, the offender stole a gold bracelet [worth 150,000 Baht] a gold Necklace [worth 100,000 Baht] a digital camera [Olympus], Bt200,000 in cash and his passport including his hotel room key.
Initial investigations revealed that the hotel management had not collected any information regarding the identity of the woman, which is a requirement, but there was CCTV surveillance which the officials have inspected and filed.
Investigations will continue in an attempt to apprehend the now fugitive offender.

Especial the Blacks from Nigeria....
the highest Number on Foreign Inmates in Thailand are Nigerians.
Thailand would be better off to cancel all Visas on arrival for Black Africans.
To German Guy, LOL funny comment. !!!
What a stupid comment. I hope for all Germans that you are not a German.
TO MARK:
Same stupid comment. "...just remember what the American done to you during 1945" - yeah yeah yeah, with the help of Russia and England. Otherwise, I would be today eventually Governor of California.
He may have also been related to Mr T with this much gold around his neck.
Many different questions but what is answer?. Is he stupid or trying to be clever regarding an insurance scam.
Anyway, he was allegedly relieved in one night of more than I own in total at this time. So, if he's got the same value in the bank somewhere he's a lucky man in my book!
Who (other than HiSo super rich) in their right mind would have that sort of wealth available to steal and be living in such accommodation. It simply does not make sense.
German Guy makes a wholly disgraceful comment. I thought the racist bigots that were around 30 years ago were either dead or had been educated, clearly I was wrong. Actually, I'm not naive enough to not realise that some are still around. We do, of course, have to be mindful that there are those that would use forums such as this to deceive and we should not automatically conclude that 'German Guy' is either German or a guy.
som nam na ei dam
Som nam naa if it's true.
Why the hotel staff tried to wake him up at that time? Who not in the morning when they did not see him wake up? or his door is open?
Why the key and his passport had gone?
What if the thief [or thieves] were the hotel staff?
They took his passport to stop him report the police ??
Why they checked his room at that time?
Why didn't they ask for the woman's ID card?[ May be they work as a team?]
Why no photos from PDN ? They might be stopped to take photos and report more details about the incident?
Come on , you guys must had the similar situation before, so give this guy a credit !
I bet the hotel no so well what's going on..
The fool has learnt a hard lesson.
insurance fraud all the way on this one..
case closed
Is your Name Adolf Hitler by any chance or are you relate to him...
big fat pig
stupid fuck....
just remember what the American done to you during 1945 .
Regards.
This is why I only take them to short time rooms. Then they can only steal the 300 baht in my pocket, some dirty sheets and a bar of soap.
btw , is / was the girl hot ?
I find myself a tad skeptical about the gold chain and bracelet (B250,000) not to mention just having B200,000 cash lying around.
He couldn't planning an insurance claim, could he????
