Australian Lady’s Thai Holiday, Turns into a Nightmare. Thailand.
Posted on 20 May 2009
An Australian lady is making news here in Thailand and also back on Australian shores.
Apparently the mother of 4 was a little drunk and the victim of a prank played by friends.
She was in the resort town of Phuket, at the well known Aussie Bar. When she was away from her bag a friend placed a bar mat in her bag. When she left the bar an undercover policeman asked to look in the bag and discovered the mat.
Okay a practical joke, a bar mat is all that was taken. Couldn’t be too much trouble, could it?
The lady spent 4 days in a Thai jail cell. She is now facing anywhere from 2 to 5 years in jail for the offence. She has been charged under a strange Thai law, ‘Night Time Theft’, this carries much hasher penalties than theft through the ‘Day Time.’
