Basil B Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Aggressive begging... Happens in many countries including the UK. often no need as there are welfare and charities that will help, often the beggars are just being greedy, can not walk around many cities in the UK these days without falling over beggars claiming to be homeless but I am sure many are not. Saw one years ago with a starved dog in a door way in Oxford, begging for the price of a cup of hot coffee, young woman took pity on him, rather than giving him money she went and bought him a coffee from a near by shop, he just threw it back at her.

I have an idea. As it is quite common these days to make stupid people famous, he might have been awarded the "celebrity" status for being a 10 time loser in the TV-show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contained 120,000 baht, 5,000 Hong Kong dollars (20,000 baht), a Rolex watch worth 520,000 baht, a gold bracelet worth 400,000 baht and three phones worth 50,000 baht. Yes, that's what I also always carry around in a bag at 5 a.m. on Walking Street... ? - Why didn't he put the watch and bracelet around his wrist (to show off his celebrity status), the 5,000 Hong Kong dollars into his wallet (there are 1,000 and 500$ banknotes), while leaving the baht and two phones in the hotel safe??

Popular Post oldrunner Posted September 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2018 I always load up with 1,000,000 baht worth of jewelry and cash before prancing down Walking Street and 'Meeting" lady boys needing money for food. Was this a gang of 45 therims? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think anyone carrying that much loot around would have a bodyguard with him. Something's fishy here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadude Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) i am impatiently waiting for that Pattaya police chief to make an announcement on this incident. the same clown who pops up from time to time who projects himself as sooooo concerned(!) about the image of Pattaya! this character who doesn't even show any remorse to someone who lays on concrete in a pool of blood, beaten by street gangs to a bloody pulp has the nerve to ONLY be concerned about the negative effects of these incidents on tourism, and nothing else! Mr chief! put a couple of undercover officers at least every 50 meters of your "first class family resort city" streets of Beach bl and Walking street after 8pm and announce THIS to stop or discourage criminals. No one's safe on Beach bl after dark. These type of news of "lucrative" and "successful" muggings, snatchings will only invite more desperate criminals into the city! I don't know the accuracy of this particular report, who is saying the truth and who isn't but there is enough violence now to justify more cops on the streets after dark. It's not 60's anymore, things have changed for the worse. too many criminals and some of them are in ladyboy disguise and are attacking in packs violently.

chrisinth Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 This will be interesting. Will he be charged with bringing the name of Pattaya into disrepute and breaking the social media computer laws (if it was indeed social media he used) by this reporting of a botched investigation where the guilty have already been fined and the victim is left without his property? Or will he have enough clout as a 32 yo actor from Hong Kong to kick up such a fuss that the police will have to do their jobs and continue the investigation? There you go, a pessimistic viewpoint that he was being clever and keeping his expensive watch and bracelet hidden while he was out on the p1ss. After all, it is what is recommended by all the long term ex-pats; maybe he was advised to take them off while out? Or does the insurance fraud make for better believing?

"Begging" suggests a desperate need for something. beg verb 1. ask (someone) earnestly or humbly for something. "I begged him for mercy" 2. ask for something, typically food or money, as charity or a gift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike555 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Ha. Famous actor my butt. Well, he's famous to us -- this dude lives in my condo. We all know him as "The spitter." And who TF carries that kind of loot around on walking street chatting up LBs at 4am, anyway. In any case, if they beat him up enough to have him stop spitting in the elevator, hell, I'll happily buy them a thank you beer. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
