Duo on motorbike snatch bag from tuk-tuk touristsPolice are hunting for two thieves on a motorcycle, who snatched valuables from two Chinese women on a moving tuk-tuk late at night near the Pathumwan intersection in Bangkok. Chinese tourist Chang Tsi Weng, 21, and her Hong Kong friend said the incident left them in a state of shock. Ms Chang said the motorcycle carrying two male suspects, described as heavyset and wearing black shirts, pulled up alongside the tuk-tuk in which she and her friend were riding. One of the men snatched her white shoulder bag from the moving vehicle. Inside the bag was her passport, Hong Kong ID card, an iPhone X, her wallet, 1,000 baht and HK$500 (2,000 baht) in cash — yet to be found.
