Three suspects robbed Chris John Glennon during his stay at Basaya Beach Hotel and Resort on June 24, 2025. The 60-year-old British visitor from Northampton uses a wheelchair and has speech difficulties. Glennon invited two Thai women and one transgender woman from Pattaya Beach to his hotel room. The trio escaped with 6,000 baht and 150 British pounds while Glennon showered. He wheeled himself to the reception desk without a shirt to report the theft.
Hotel staff contacted authorities after Glennon used his phone translation application to communicate the incident. Police recorded his complaint at 12:16 AM the following morning and began their investigation. Security cameras captured footage that helped identify two perpetrators through identification cards submitted at check-in. Officers continue to search for the third suspect and gather evidence. This robbery mirrors a May 2025 case where an Australian wheelchair user lost 11,400 baht under similar circumstances in Pattaya.
