British woman raped in Thailand after two men dragged her off the street
PATTAYA: — A British tourist in Thailand had been raped after being dragged off the street by two men.
She was taken to a hotel where she was raped and then robbed of her belongings.
The woman, aged 25, said the attack happened early Saturday morning in the Thai resort of Pattaya, twenty metres from a police sentry box.
The attack happened after she had been separated from friends.
She said she was unable to resist the two men who, after raping her, took her Natwest bank and credit cards and 60 pounds in cash and a bracelet worth 100 pounds.
Last night police in Pattaya charged two men with rape and theft.
They were named as Krajon Senkam, 29, and Surasak Kovekasan, 20, who were described as local ‘maeng da’ a Thai expression , literally translating as cockroaches, describing men who live off the earnings of local prostitutes.
Police Colonel Wanlop Kangtharatit said the men were arrested quickly as they were known in the area.
