Scary awakening for foreign man and Thai wife as burglars make off with 20,000 baht

A foreign man and his Thai wife in Thap Praya Soi 5 were woken by dogs barking unusually in the early hours of the morning.

They got up and found the back door forced and items scattered all about in their living room.

House owner Thitimon Lundgrun (name transliterated from Thai), 52, said that they then heard a vehicle start up next to the house and drive off.

Stolen was around 23,000 baht and a phone. Other stuff may be missing as a full assessment is yet to be made.

TNews did not identify the foreigner but said the couple were married.

Police think locals are involved as they knew the lay of the land. CCTV is being studied to get a lead in the case.
