Sorry to hear that what was otherwise a good trip was tarnished by some rip off merchant. As you say, best wait for CC company report before pointing the finger at anyone. But,you will know where and when you used your card,so that should shorten the odds on who "scammed" it.
I hardly ever use my credit card in LOS, occasionally at ATM for cash , and am careful to return it straight to hotel security box. This type of fraud is common everywhere, only way to (try) and prevent it is to take the same precautions as you would in the UK. Don't let them take the card out of your sight, if need be, go with them to the till. Make sure that if there is a "carbon copy" ,it is returned to you.
Guess this is no help , now that the deed has been done , but may be a useful lesson for anyone else using a Credit Card in Thailand.
