  • Bracken Ridge couple faces close encounter with armed burglar in Thailand

    A Bracken Ridge couple's close encounter with an armed burglar has prompted a security upgrade on a Thailand island.

    Belinda Horlock said she and husband Jamie had settled in for their second night during a big storm after travelling to Layana Beach Resort at Kohlanta in May and felt secure with 24 hour security guards.

    Initially awaking and checking a rattling noise at 2.30am a second awakening gave her the fright of her life.

    ``I thought it was my husband checking the noise and when he moved to his side of the bed I thought he was going to bed until Jamie snored next to me,'' she said.

    Resolving to put distance between them and the burglar she took the opportunity to wake her husband when the burglar crouched next to her bedside and bumped a suitcase.

    ``I said `Jamie turn the light on someone's here' and he grabbed an umbrella and starting yelling for security and the guy jumped up wearing a balaclava and armed with a grenade and a knife and jumped out the window when Jamie was within a metre of him while I called security,'' she said.

    The pair's accommodation had been upgraded during the remaining stay and the resort had recently hired a security supervisor and installed CCTV cameras.

    The burglar had escaped the island.

    Mrs Horlock said the incident was unusual as Kohlkata was viewed as the safest place in Thailand and staff had been apologetic and treated them well.

    However, she was more security conscious and awoke abruptly at night.

    An estimated 700,000 Australians visit Thailand each year and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade lists Thailand as a place to use a high level of caution.

    Thailand sure is getting some bad press these days. The internet does not afford them to keep the crime and scams hidden.
