Hats off to the gentleman, he looks in good shape at 77.

I hope he gets some help from the authorities, and his belongings back soon.

Just what I was thinking mauGR1 , I am a mere 70 but I won't look that fit at 77 as I don't now.

Well, indeed a very popular German Name...

 

According to this website the name is most prevalent in India ... http://forebears.io/surnames/sahai

 

Only 1recorded Sahai in Germany, and 2 in Thailand.

You can, I got lazy ,fat  2 1/2  years ago and had a heart attack. Got back to exercising and changed diet ; a little more veggies and fruits but still have a hamburger, cheese  , carbs sometimes just not every day. Got rid of the belly and hope to have a 6 pak within 6 months ---just have to take baby steps don't think change occurs overnight. Didn't take 6 months to get obese won't get thin in 6 either.

I was not thinking just about his physical shape, but also about his sense of humour.

Faing Em Sahai -- now, this is a very unique German name

[MyFriend You]

The rest of this story is, he was too cheap charlie to rent a relatively safe beach chair that is supervised.  Had he done that, he would still have his watch, wallet, clothes and Money.  Like them or not, I have never been ripped off using a beach chair operator, they keep an eye out on your stuff.  

[wvavin]

This thief is cruel for not even left him decent pant....LOL

[Kadilo]

No surprise. More interest in his name and "origin" than the theft. 

[fakename]

If it was an expensive watch, I have an idea who could have taken it, but it has to be VERY expensive, no knock offs!

Definitely in Bangkok!  Maybe fleeing from Merkel...

I once told a lady on Ao Nang beach, before they destroyed it and drove the monkeys away, not to go swimming and leave her bag etc. as the monkeys were watching. She ignored me. The monkeys came. When she came out of the water she looked at me ... as if she suspected I stole her bag !!!...

A german called - Faing Em Sahai? Maybe a multcult german.

 

Probably from Middle-Eastern Germany.  

 

Perhaps a war refugee from Syria, partying away German dole money? 

 

Germany has traditionally (starting in the 1960s) had a large Turkish population, but, until 2015 at least, not an Arab one. That's what the French would say: "They've got the Turks, we've got the Maghreb trouble-makers..." - Look who's better off now!

Nasty crime to do.

Doubt this German will return to the beach.

Agreed, is it my eyes playing up as I am getting older as my mind does, or is that a watch he is wearing on his left hand.

 

Hate for this to be another insurance claim, just saying, as the Thai's have been getting a lot of crap of late, for no wrong doing with a few farangs trying to put in a few false insurance claims, and this guy is 77, could have swam and been taken a little a drift to the left or the right of where he was staying and with him being a little older might have also mistaken the spot where he was staying on the beach to add to any possible false insurance claim ?

hahahahha, of course I was joking. It's not at all a German name. But they have so many migrants that you could hardly know

This guy must be an idiot, leaving anything on the beach in Pattaya it is going to be stolen.!!!

[Sir Dude]

There's a chance that maybe he just cooked up the story as an excuse to go down the cop shop and talk to a pretty uniformed Thai woman in his unterhose...perv.

 

 

[beowolf2012]

Have to say. If the German man want to swim at the beach. why he not put his thins in his hotel room?

When finish he can always get back to his hotel and get his things.

The other way he asked for please take my things when i´m out for the swim.

[snairc]

Poor fellow. Hope he gets all his stuff back.

Bangkok has always been a very popular place for German tourists. One may like, or dislike, Mrs. Merkel, but I can assure you that no one is scared of her.
