A Kuwaiti man lost more than 120,000 baht in jewelry when his hotel room safe was stolen while he was out to dinner.
Meshal Aa Attallah, 51, reported the break-in to police Saturday at the Siwalai City hotel. He said the safe contained two Armani watches.
Security-camera footage showed two Thai men aged in their late 20s breaking into the seventh-floor room, wrapping the safe in a blanket and carrying it out. Apparently no one in the lobby noticed anything unusual about them leaving like that.
A Thai friend of the Kuwaiti victim points to the spot where the safe used to be.
Police later found the safe cracked open in a wooded area near Central Pattaya’s Carrefour shopping mall.
