The pair targetted Phuket tourists early on Monday morning, according to police, pretending to hug Russian Pavel Abramov outside the Kata Orchid about 2am and picking a mobile telephone from the pocket of his shorts instead.
A little later outside the Katathani resort in Kata Noi, the pair lifted a wallet belonging to Italian Moris Fossati and made off with 1000 euros.
After both tourists reported what had happened to Karon Police Station, the police went into action and Chote-amnui Rongjatu,26, and Suntorn Haujaipet, 24, were arrested and presented for reenactments with the tourists today.
Past 02.00 a.m. in the street with 1000 Euros in the pocket ? Hmmm, not really smart or currencies have been mixed up...
