rooster59 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 German tourist reports theft in his "unterhose" after swim on Pattaya beach! Image: Daily News An old German tourist arrived at Pattaya police station to report a theft clad only in his one piece. Faing Em Sahai, 77, had been swimming and returned to find all his possessions gone. Missing were a watch, phone, cash and the rest of his clothes he had deposit in a bag while he took a dip. Speaking through an interpreter he said: "It's a good thing I still have my undies - otherwise I'd really be up scheisse creek". Worse news followed - the CCTV was not working. Fortunately a witness saw the thief - the field of suspects was thus narrowed down to a Thai man aged about 30.

Quality !!. But only a few days ago some "big-knob" said tourists would have far more protection. More "hot-air" nonsense. So, why was the CCTV not working ?

The German must have been living in the past , back in the 70's when he probably visited for the first time it was a lot safer. With all due respect, the gentleman involved was grossly negligent. Even in Germany one would not leave his bag containing cloths, a watch, money etc. lying around in, when going for a short swim. In all probability, such bag would have disappeared in Germany as well, as im most other countries. I do hope that he is insured with a very generous insurer....

lonewolf99 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Not sure if insurance policies cover being negligent with your important pocessions....in a 3rd world country......... I nearly typed Trump's apt description of "some other nations". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by his name he must be originally from one of the countries where thieves have their hand chopped off, so maybe he thought that the whole world would be safe. What a rude awakening!

I also agree, much better shape than the majority of senior expats with beer bellies walking around Pattaya Beach. Just goes to show even at advanced age if you can eat sensibly and exercise you can look and feel good if no major health problems prevent you from working out.

Stop drinking beer every night, walk a few miles , eat more salad and less fatty food,. You'll be surprised how your body will change over a few years.

Also collecting exotic bacterias in Pattaya Beach's waters may help keeping courageous (suicidal?) swimmers skinny, that is until only the bones are left...
