The Singaporean man arrested at Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok for allegedly stealing the belongings of a German man insists it was all a mix-up.
Teo Yu Xuan Kenny was trying to board a plane home when Immigration Bureau officers swooped to apprehend the Singaporean for the alleged theft of 100,000 baht in cash, a laptop, and a passport belonging to a German tourist staying in the same Pattaya hotel. Kenny said it was a mistake on behalf of the hotel. Staff had reportedly mixed up room numbers 614 and 416.
Kenny and his three friends had flown to Thailand on Thursday, July 6, and planned to return home on Monday, July 11. The mix-up occurred when Kenny’s friend, known as Chee, checked out of his room. While Chee and two other Singaporean friends left the hotel at 11am on Monday, Kenny decided to stay in his room a little longer.
