Pattaya —
A man who had been relying on a Pattaya temple for food stole items and a motorcycle from the temple and fled.
The temple in question is locally known as Wat Nong Yai located in Pattaya City, Chonburi province.
The suspect had been sleeping near the restroom inside the temple for 2-3 days and had repeatedly requested money from the monks, according to the abbot. He said he did not know the name of the suspect.
The abbot pleaded with the police to catch the suspect as urgently as possible.
This isn’t the first despicable act of theft recently as a Na Jomtien thief broke into a rental room and stole a child’s piggy banks earlier this week.
