A Frenchman involved in a fistfight with a British man on
Soi Buakaow was arrested on charges he was trying to steal an ATM card.
Mohammad Belkhelouat, 27, was arrested Dec. 24 near the
Sawadee Hotel after police broke up a fight between him and 64-year old John
Anthony Singer.
Singer told police Belkhelouat had taken his ATM card
while trying to “help” him make a transaction at a Kasikorn Bank automated

card back before police arrived.
Upon seeing the police, Belkhelouat tried to flee into
the hotel, but was apprehended by officers and charged with attempted
