The Phang Nga-registered white Toyota pick-up truck, license plate Bor-Chor 762, belonged to Saengjan Thepnarong, owner of Ban Pon Whisky Shop, from which the alcohol and tobacco were also stolen.
The burglars also ransacked a neighbouring construction materials shop and a third shop nearby, apparently looking for cash.
Ms Saengjan said she thought that at least two people must have been involved, and they seemed to know well how to get into her shop. For their raid they chose a time when no one was in, suggesting they had been keeping a watch on the place.
