Lanta Garden Home - Thieving Gypsy B@stards!
Have written this seperately... as before I was robbed I had such a nice time here and I guess I don't know 100% if it was one of the staff here so I didn't want it to spoil the rest of the experience.
On Monday night I went to bed around 2am and Mel came up shortly after... as I'd gone up Hazel had asked me (in front of Matt and Yip) to leave the door unlocked so she could get in later on... so mel and I did.
before I went to bed I checked how much money was in the kitty (kept in the front of my purse) so I knew how much we all needed to add this morning. Then I put my purse on the bedside table and went to sleep.
This morning my purse had been moved and all the cash taken...
Luckily my cards hadn't been removed and kindly the theif had left me with some small coins but everything else was gone. I checked the entire room... under beds and mattresses... along with all my belongings, including jeans pockets etc (twice) hoping that I'd gone mad... but no I haven't... I've just been robbed.
Obviously it was my own stupid fault for sleeping with the room unlocked.. not real clever and there's nothing to say that it was an employee of the guesthouse that did this... but Ko Lanta is so spread out and it was such a weird robbery (nothing else was taken, despite passports, phones and ipods being easily available) that the evidence seems to say it was. Bt if nothing ese it's not nice to think someone came in the room while we were sleeping... and what's even worse is it was more than likely one of the two people we'd befriended, hung out with and trusted which makes me really angry and anyone (other than my mum and dad) who knows me will I'm sure be able to imaine the long list of expletives that came out of my mouth this morning (they're still coming out actually!).
I'm glad to say that Ra (the smiley lady from the boat), who had beenour friend and introduced us to her daughter was in Krabi so it definitely wasn't her.
Before breakfast (which I made us go down the road for as they ain't getting anymore of my money!) I just avoided all staff as I don't want to be nice to anyone who might have stolen from me. But before we left I told the older sister that money had been taken from the room overnight and she didn't seem to care at all... the moral of the story is two-fold...
1) never sleep with your room door unlocked
2) never stay at Lanta Garden Home
Rant over - sorry! x
