Koraphak ‘Oak’ Caught: Dramatic End to Pathum Thani’s Notorious ‘Ninja Thief’

April 30th in Pathum Thani province became the final act for the remarkable escapades of Koraphak, affectionately nicknamed Oak, and rather infamously dubbed the “ninja thief.” This daring 32-year-old was apprehended by the police, ending his thrilling two-month-long deceitful theatrics that had him slipping through the fingers of unsuspecting victims. Armed with a warrant from the Taling Chan Criminal Court dated April 29, Oak found himself on the wrong side of the law for fraud—a charge he finally had no choice but to admit to after being cornered beneath his bed, armed with a wooden board as his last-ditch cloak of invisibility.

Oak’s escapade unfolded like a suspenseful drama, one where he played the rogue hero, pilfering his way through various districts to feed his unquenchable online gambling zeal and, curiously enough, to ensure his cats never went hungry. Yet, with a flair reminiscent of a modern-day Robin Hood minus the altruism, he spun his web of deception with the precision of a seasoned trickster, all while clad in the guise of an innocent delivery rider.

Leading the charge against him was Police Colonel Chotiwat and his ace team from the Metropolitan Police Bureau, who were tipped off by civic activist Kan Chomphalang. Kan had an eye for uncovering scandal, particularly when tied to motorcycle-bound robbers disguised as delivery riders. Oak, true to character, played this role to perfection, skipping from one gullible online seller to another, and making off with goods without so much as a thank-you note, his motorcycle revving away into the horizon.

The stakes mounted as victims across nearly impossible-to-count districts came forward, urged by the civic heroics of Kan. Reports of the stealthy heist artist surfaced from some areas as far-flung as Lam Luk Ka, where the amounts stolen were perhaps laughably modest, but the gall of the crime left a stinging sensation on the brows of local merchants. The rogue gait of the ‘ninja thief’ soon became legend, as Oak not only slipped away with goods but sometimes left victims with bruised egos and worse.

One account told of a dramatic act where Oak, the brazen deliverer, requested to review a phone camera’s capabilities—a clever ruse which soon saw him flee, a comical puff of cartoon dust in his wake, with the owner hopelessly dragged along in disbelief until fainting from the absurdity of it all. Oak was nothing if not consistently cheeky, using the delivery rider facade more than ten times in a span of two months. Even under the glare of the press conference spotlight, with victims ranged like spectators at a gladiatorial match, Oak stood accused not only of thievery but betrayal—casting aspersions onto the legislation of market insurance.

As the curtain closed on Oak’s misadventures, his family drama unfolded. His mother, a simple market vendor, bore the weight of her son’s infamy with profound grace even as whispers of Oak’s early misdemeanors—beginning at the tender age of 12—swirled around. Despite allegedly swiping loaves from his very household to fund gambling hangovers, those closest to Oak painted a tragic portrait of a life meant for greatness, yet sidetracked by temptation and betrayal. A deeper cut of Oak’s betrayals was the dexterous manipulation and subsequent abandonment of a senior friend’s goodwill, one whose delivery box became a pawn in this rogue escapade.

The grand finale drew a chorus of thanks to the diligent police forces hailing from 15 collaborating stations, cracking the narrative of this hometown tale and leaving Oak caught in the last act of his high-wire narrative. At day’s end, even his cats sat bemused, perhaps demanding dinner paid through more honest means.

    This story feels like a mix between a comedy show and a robbery! How did Oak think he could get away with this just as a delivery rider?

    • Karen_M May 1, 2025

      People often underestimate the simplicity of a disguise. Plus, folks are less suspicious of delivery riders these days!

      • Informed_Citizen May 1, 2025

        It’s not just the disguise, it’s the sheer audacity. Oak clearly thrived on the thrill of deception.

    • Sam G May 1, 2025

      I guess, but running around like a modern ‘Robin Hood’ for cats is just bizarre! 😂

  2. Leslie T May 1, 2025

    Can we take a moment to appreciate the police’s effort? Tracking a master of deception like Oak isn’t easy.

    • Johnny K. May 1, 2025

      Sure, but isn’t it overkill to have 15 stations involved? Sounds like a PR move to me.

      • Leslie T May 1, 2025

        Every district that got hit needed representation. Plus, it sends a message about cooperation.

  3. CatLady54 May 1, 2025

    Just shows how far some would go to care for their pets. At least the cats were never in danger!

  4. Mark May 1, 2025

    I think the real story here is about early intervention. Oak was stealing since 12? Where was his support system?

    • Erik P. May 1, 2025

      True, but people have different paths. Some address their issues, others get lost.

    • Realist_44 May 1, 2025

      Let’s not play the blame game. Sometimes, people just make bad choices. Oak certainly knew better.

  5. Felicia_M May 1, 2025

    What a mix of tragedy and comedy this is. It also sounds like Oak had a support group but chose this path.

    • Anna_Banana May 1, 2025

      He’s like a modern day anti-hero. Kind of sad in a way.

  6. FastFreddie May 1, 2025

    Riding around stealing stuff seems like something from a movie. Why would he leave victims with ‘bruised egos’?

    • alexa99 May 1, 2025

      Some people take these things personally, I guess. Oak mocked them through his antics.

    • CynicalTiger May 1, 2025

      Yeah, the embarrassment is almost worse than the theft. Imagine explaining it to friends!

  7. Jackson_88 May 1, 2025

    I feel like this is a downfall of a small-town legend. Local criminals like Oak always have the wildest stories.

    • Noella May 1, 2025

      Reminds me of urban legends mothers tell their kids to behave. ‘Don’t end up like Oak!’

  8. SimpleJen May 1, 2025

    The poor mother! I can’t imagine the shame she feels. At least she held her head high.

  9. Holmes101 May 1, 2025

    Props to Kan Chomphalang for being proactive. We need more vigilant citizens like that!

    • Sam G May 1, 2025

      Yeah, without tips from the public, these cases drag on forever.

  10. Gregorius_Maximus May 1, 2025

    Online gambling and cats… who knew they’d inspire such a story?

  11. Karen_M May 1, 2025

    What about the legislation on market insurance? That’s a critical aspect for the victims, right?

    • Informed_Citizen May 1, 2025

      Legislation often catches up late. Hopefully, this case pushes for better policies.

  12. Erik P May 1, 2025

    I doubt Oak saw himself as a villain. Just lost but still, he hurt many.

    • FastFreddie May 1, 2025

      There’s a fine line between thief and fool. Oak crossed it.

  13. Contrarian May 1, 2025

    Let’s not forget he was a thief, not a hero. Sympathy is unnecessary here.

    • Leslie T May 1, 2025

      Agree. Actions must have consequences. Oak’s story shouldn’t glorify crime.

  14. Noella May 1, 2025

    I’m surprised no Robin Hood movie adaptations yet about people like Oak. Sounds like entertainment gold.

  15. AllyK May 1, 2025

    Even though Oak’s endeavors might seem silly and chaotic, they are a symptom of bigger issues.
