CHONBURI:-- A story that hit the headlines in the Thai national press recently, involving the discovery of 1.3 Million Baht’s worth of torn Thai currency, has now been solved.

A press conference was held at Chonburi Police Headquarters, led by Police Lieutenant General Panya, Commissioner of Region 2 Police who revealed that the money was destroyed by a 30 year old man who was jealous over the attention his father was giving to his other son. Both Sons were given money to open Gold Shops, by their father, Khun Worapong aged 60.

One Son opened a shop in Pattaya and the other, Khun Worapan in Chonburi District. He had stashed 1.3 Million Baht from the sale of Gold over the period of 2 years, without telling his Father and was afraid that he would take it and give it to his other son who Khun Worapan claims his Father prefers over him. For this reason, Khun Worapan decided to tear-up the money and place it in a bin close to the shop.

A national appeal was then made by Police and eventually the young man admitted to ownership of the money and presented himself to the Police with his Father at his side

SATTAHIP:-- A woman was caught-on-camera stealing an IPAD and Nokia Mobile Phone from a Coffee Shop in the Plu Ta Luang area, close to Pattaya on Monday afternoon.

The items belonged to the owner of the “Coffee Today” shop, Khun Nongnoot aged 42 who showed us the security camera footage showing a Thai woman, thought to be aged around 25 and wearing a long jacket which was initially zipped-up. She purchased a cup of coffee and five pieces of toast which distracted the staff enough so the woman could steal the IPAD and mobile phone.

She is seen to look around and then unzip her coat and, in a matter of seconds, grab the two items and run out from the shop and was seen to jump on the back of a motorbike driven by a Thai man. A reward of 5,000 Baht is being offered by Khun Nongnoot for anyone who provides information which leads to the arrest of the woman

An inspection determined the man had been dead for at least 1 month but due to a high level of decomposition the nationality of the man could not be determined. He was heavily tattooed on the chest and arms and both hands were tied together behind his back.

The disconnected head could not be found in the surrounding area and the owner of the field confirmed he would only visit the area once a month to place chemicals on the field.
