Pensioner's plea! Thais have robbed me blind and I can't get home

A Dutch man who claimed to be 70 years old was pictured sitting next to signs saying he had been robbed by Thais.

 

The signage posted by a Thai on Facebook suggested this pensioner had lost 50,000 baht.

Now he had no ticket back to Holland. 

 

His embassy wouldn't help.

 

So he was asking passersby to buy his watches - knocked down from 250 baht to 200 baht. 

 

Comments from people online showed little sympathy. Some doubted the veracity of his claims. 

 

Some inquired as to the brand of the watches receiving lots of smiley faces. 

 

He appeared to be at an airport though the location was not mentioned on Hotji Kamnokkok's page.

Does he have a Thai work permit for selling fake watches????

 

I thought that was one of the occupations reserved exclusively for Thais (and Indians)!   :cheesy:

 

maybe that is the fast/cheap route he ultimately after?

no work permit--->get arrested--->get departed.

 

alternatively, his embassy is more likely to get involved, too.

just saying.

Chinese tourists provide a much wider range of "cheerful "news

to the media.
The story of a white old man in Thailand is always the same
but I must admit that this grandpa is at least entrepreneurial

and courageous.

Still too much, considering you can get a Richard Mille for free in these parts.

There is however, the small risk you may be caught for causing the death of your newly deceased friend.

Not gonna get much sympathy from signs like that... THAILAND your people (!) STOLE ALL MY MONEY / THAI PEOPLE STOLE ALL MY MONEY

 

Not gonna get home by selling 200 baht watches either.  Wonder what the story is.

He's probably thinking he'll get more dumb farangs by saying what so many farangs apparently believe.
