A Frenchman wearing a 50,000 baht gold necklace had the expensive jewelry snatched from his neck as he rode on the back of his Thai girlfriend’s motorbike.
Frederic Granier, 46, reported that the 2-baht-weight necklace with a Luang Por Sothorn Buddha amulet was taken by an unknown suspect April 9 near the Naklua market.
Phanitch Chamkadklang, 33, said she tried to follow the thief as he fled from Naklua Soi 13, but lost him near Banglamung Hospital.
Frederic Granier and Phanitch Chamkadklang report the crime to police.
