Finnish Tourist caught up in Baht Bus Necklace Snatch
Just after 5.30 on Friday Morning, Police Lieutenant Colonel Norawit dealt with a case reported by Mr. Pasi Tapani Virtanen aged 43 from Finland at Pattaya Police Station. He explained that he had taken a Baht Bus from Soi 10 off Pattaya Second Road to the View Talay Condominium located off the Tappraya Road in Jomtien. As the bus approached the overpass leading to the Bali Hai Port, two men on a motorbike pulled up beside the vehicle and the passenger reached over and snatched Mr. Virtanen’s Gold Necklace with Buddhist Amulet which he claims is worth around 300,000 Baht. The Baht Bus Driver became aware of the theft and attempted to catch up with the motorbike which fled in the direction of Jomtien, without success. A Police Report was made and Police will do their best to recover the stolen item and catch the two suspects.

Why shouldn’t he be wearing a gold necklace? Its not exactly flaunting your wealth is it? I mean Thai people wear gold.. pretty smart investment at the moment
Above Pattijoen Pasi says:
“Well, the insurance company Pohjola will pay… This is a sort of solution for financing:)”
It’s the foreigner’s fault. He should not have attracted these 2 guys in the first place with such a display around his neck.
Kyllä Pohjola korvaa…rahotus ratkasu se tämäkin:)

Well, at least all bar girls will now regognize this fool, who (assumingly) has some money. From this day on, he will be their Favorite Idiot Nr 1.
i agree.. wearing that amount of gold is stupid..
Probably a incurense fraud..
Ermmmmm what did he expect ?!? If you push your wealth in the locals faces you deserve everything you get…
What a pleasant bunch commenting here…
What does it matter how much it was worth. Truth is that all of you annual one month mongers with your wife beaters wear these round golden buddha amulets to announce you are “locals” and been around patters more than a week.

JUST ANOTHER STUPID TOURIST. 99 PERCENT OF THEM ENTERING THAILAND SHOULD STAY HOME. NEVER SEEN A DUMBER OUT OF IT BUNCH.
I agree with bill and alpo: he is either an idiot or a crook. Nobody with an ounce of brain would go around late in the night with a 7K Euro necklace, not even in Helsinki.
300,000 id for his insurance company. The true sum is 30,000. The golden necklace is for catching ladyboys.
serves him right for going out with an expensive gold necklace, might as well just put i sigh on his back saying please rob me
bye bye what a fool wearing that amount of gold i wouldnt do that in any country .hope thet catch the scum who did this ….
Mr Pasi Tapani Virtanen you can kiss goodbye to your 300,000 baht necklace, never ever wear expensive necklace or watches in Pattaya you are only impressing potential thieves
