An Indian tourist has alleged his gold necklace worth Rs. 132,000 Baht (USD 3,923.9) was robbed by a gang of three transgender women when he was walking near the beachside close to the Hard Rock Hotel in Thailand's Pattaya city, media reports said.
According to local media reports, the incident happened on Monday.
The victim was identified as 42-year-old Indian national Pravin Manik Tavada. He is a business owner.
The incident happened when he was walking out with friends.
It was at that point of time when the three transgender women approached them and offered their services.
The group engaged in physical contact, including hugs and caresses, seemingly trying to disarm the tourists with their actions, reported Pattaya Mail.
The Indian national and his friends quickly walked away after declining their offer.
Tavada realized that his gold necklace weighing 40 grams, worth over 132,000 Baht, had gone missing, Pattaya Mail reported.
After realising that the group was behind the theft, they tried to locate them but could not find the suspects.
Pravin Manik Tavada filed a police complaint over the issue.
Police have started investigating the matter.
