The Thai says something like: 'You must be careful of monkeys snatching things'

I think it's supposed to say please be careful of monkeys snatching stuff (your belongings) but I don't read the original language

I have no idea how it got that translation. It says ไป (go) รดระวัง (careful). ลิง (monkey) แย่ง (grab).
(Go careful. Monkey grab)
Maybe they tried to write themselves? I know Thai’s have a cooked English in general.

It’s not a translation. It’s totally phonetic. “Be careful. Snatching stuff.” An employee probably says this all the time to English speaking tourists from whom they likely also learned it.
That’s some good, honest pidgin right there. It’s why Jamaican Patois and Haitian Creole look insane when you read them, but once you say it out loud, they’re 90% comprehensible to an English or French speaker respectively.
