Pattaya guesthouse theft on 17th March 2022


It’s very important for those who work in a night shift to stay awake and keep an eye on what’s going on around them.

One good reason is that if we keep our eyes closed, it’s easier for burglars to break in and leave us with nothing but trouble we’re not responsible for.

Here’s the story of a guesthouse worker who fell asleep during the night shift and woke up to find valuable items stolen.
