Thanapol Konkham, a non-medical staff member in the women’s ward, was arrested and taken back to the hospital for a crime re-enactment on Tuesday.
On Monday, a woman patient filed a complaint with police that Bt5,000 had disappeared from under her pillow.
Footage from a security camera showed that Thanapol climbed into the ward through a window late on Sunday night while all the patients were assleep and searched for valuables.
Cornered by the footage, Thanapol admitted the crime. He also tested positive to drug use.
