Bonjour
Il y a 3 semaines j'ai rencontré un Francais a
Chiangmai qui s'est fait agresser en moto.
Ca c'est passe a 100 m de Taphae road (soi3) en fin d'aprés midi. Il été passager sur une moto et les agresseurs, en moto egalement, lui ont arraché sa sacoche avec papiers et argent. Ensuite ils se sont enfui en prenant Tapae road en sens interdit dans le traffic. Impossible de les poursuivre.
IL ne faut quand meme pas paniquer. J'ai passé 3 semaines a
Chiangmai au moi de mai souvent seul a marcher la nuit et je n'ai jamais rien vu d'inquitant et je me sent plus en securité que dans certain quartiers de
Toulouse. Ces agressions restent ponctuelles et il suffit de prendre un minimum de precautions.
Depuis, il semble que la police soit sur le point d'arreter le chef de ce gang qui sevit depuis quelque temps a
chiangmai. Voir la:

Chiang Mai police have set up road blocks around the city every evening in an attempt to find and arrest the leader of a motorcycle gang who has been robbing residents and tourists in the city.
The latest victim Ms. Gillinn Dempsey, a British national and resident of
Chiang Mai, was robbed of her belongings as she drove home on her motorbike earlier this month.
A thief on a motorcycle grabbed her purse which contained two mobile phones, a digital camera, 12, 000 baht in cash and personal documents and then sped away.
Ms. Dempsey was unharmed during the attack and contacted the police who filed a report.
The police then received a tip-off that Ms. Dempsey’s belongings could be found at the Sairung mobile phone shop on Thewan Road.
On April 19th a police team led by Pol. Col. Prachuab Wongsook descended on the shop and discovered a loot of 54 mobile phones, 15 handbags, 8 digital cameras and 1 video camera, all apparently stolen.
The owner of the shop, Ms. Rapeephan Promchanta age 19, was promptly arrested and she and the alleged stolen loot were transported to the police station. The shop owner has been charged for possession of stolen goods and faces time behind bars if convicted.
During the usual police interrogation of the suspect, Ms. Rapeephan revealed that her boyfriend, Mr. Sarawut Oopkham age 33, and a native of Lamphun province is in fact the motorcycle gang leader who has been robbing the residents and tourists in
Chiang Mai.
The police promptly issued an arrest warrant based on Ms. Rapeephan’s testimony and launched a citywide search for Oopkham. The police said that this gang of thieves has put a black eye on the good reputation of the city which is normally considered a safe place to live and visit.
