Police are looking for a man who stole a ring from a central Pattaya gold shop.
The suspect, pictured in security-camera footage, stands about 165-170 centimeters tall and is in his mid-30s.
The owners of the Buakhao Gold shop on Soi Buakhao said the suspect came into pick out some gold and slid a 1-satang ring on to his finger, then pretended to count out the cash for it.
The owner’s son was distracted, however, and the man causally walked out wearing the gold. The son gave chase and the thief fled on a motorbike.
Police checked CCTV cameras and hope to catch the robber.
