An Indian tourist has filed a police complaint after allegedly being robbed of a gold necklace worth more than 100,000 baht by a group of transgender women on Pattaya beach.

At 01:30 on April 26, 2026, 36-year-old Rishav Singh reported the incident to police at Pattaya City Police Station after returning to his hotel and discovering his necklace missing.

The theft allegedly occurred on the night of April 25 along Pattaya Beach Road, opposite a shopping centre in the Nong Prue area of Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province.

Singh said he had been on a five-day trip to Pattaya and visited entertainment venues on Walking Street in South Pattaya around 04:00 before walking back to his hotel along the beachfront road.

He reported that while passing the beach area opposite a shopping centre, two transgender women approached him, struck up a conversation, acted friendly, and hugged him. Singh said he felt suspicious and tried to push them away.

After returning to his hotel, he discovered his gold necklace missing, valued at approximately 300,000 Indian rupees, or around 100,000 baht.

Police confirmed that the complaint has been recorded as evidence and investigators have been instructed to review CCTV footage from the area. Officers are also compiling records of individuals involved in similar incidents for identification purposes. If a match is found, authorities said they will pursue legal action.
