One of two Thai prostitutes suspected of robbing a pair
of Indian men was arrested when she was apprehended by one of the victims
while allegedly trying to flee.
Prakai Prasith, 30, was taken into custody outside
Tantrarak School in Central Pattaya around 2 a.m. April 3. At the scene,
Jitendra Nistr, 60, and Vitgsh Patel, 36, claimed Prakai and an accomplice
stole their handbag containing 40,000 baht.
Nistr told police he and Patel were walking back to their
hotel when Prakai and another woman, each driving a motorbike, pulled up and
solicited their sexual services. The Indians agreed to go back to the
hookers’ Soi Paniad Chang apartment and jumped on the back of the bikes.
Along the way, the Thais and Indians got into a dispute
and the women pulled over in front of the school where the second, unnamed
woman allegedly snatched the handbag and drove off.
Prakai, however, lost control of her motorbike and
slammed into a utility pole. She was slightly injured enabling the Indian
men to detain her until police arrived.
Prakai denied being involved in the robbery, but police
locked her up while they investigated further.
