Smartly dressed farang caught on CCTV brazenly shoplifting in Market Village Hua Hin

[gerritkaew]

How do you know he did not pay for it?

You see him walk inside, and later come out.  How many times you buy something and take the item with you, Not in a bag couse you already get 10 from difrend shops!!

I thing its a very BAD thing to say this person is stealing, very bad..

His face all over facebook and thaivisa maybe for nothing.

i think its a disgrace.

Strange headline!

 

Is the fact that he is white(farang) the point of interest?

 

Is the fact that he is probably a tourist of interest?

 

Can you imagine the New York Times saying, "well dressed African....." or the Guardian writing, "well-dressed Asian......"

 

 

Ok. Then  cover  it  by  saying the  non Asian, non African, non whatever except  was  Caucasian was  thieving  git !

That fat old Geezer is 'smartly dressed'? 555 

Guess because got on long pants and a shirt? ???? 

Yeah, and that's only one of the reasons why being smartly dressed is not all what some TV posters seem to think it is. Among other reasons; there is the difference of opinion as to what constitutes being smartly dressed; then, there is the misconception that being smartly dressed somehow makes you a better or more capable person.

This guy thinks that the working merchant he's stealing from is worth more than he, who is retired?  Hope he's put in the Bangkok Hilton for awhile.

Based on the music I am surprised this clip was in color or is it my young age talking...?....

I got a chuckle at the comment toward the end of the video where he says something about the "bak sida".

In the Isan Lao dialect, the guava is called mak sida (Thai: หมากสีดา), mak being a prefix for fruit names. Thus bak sida (Thai: บักสีดา), bak being a prefix when calling males, refers jokingly to a Westerner, by analogy to the Thai language where farang can mean both guava and Westerner.

[Gandtee]

I think he's got a few bags down inside his shirt.

[observer90210]

Maybe the poor 'ole chap was stealing to resell....in order to get the required 800K in cash before his next visa extension ?? ...

The fact of thai stereotyping of a smartly dressed farang and not a backpacker resorting to petty theft in a host third world country especially in hua hin and not pattaya. We all know hua hin expats are a class above pattaya’s, don’t we ?

It is not the issue of him not using a plastic bag for his purchase. It is the fact that the owner is looking at the CCTV to prove him stealing the bag. Why would the CCTV come into play if farang had paid for his purchase?

Most Swedish expats looked like that in hua hin. They even have their own village there or so I am told.

Proves the point.

Never trust a smartly dressed man.

A scruffy, unshaven, tattoo'd  urchin in flip flops and camo shorts would never do such a thing.

[malibukid]

cheap.

He's obviously a Norwegian.

We got very nice pension thank you, must be a Brit.

[balo]

So let's see how can we identify him ?  

 

Fat bald man - check 

Wearing glasses - check 

Age around 60-70 - check

Nationality Norwegian or Swedish , After al it's Hua Hin and "high season"

And he walks in a funny way - check  

 

Should be easy to locate him.  I would try any Scandinavian restaurant that offers "all you can eat" buffets.

Nah, definitely English upper class, snobby, 'tea leaf'.

Smartly dressed, but still manages to look like an 

overfilled sack of pototoes. Probably holds an office

in the UK government Ministry of Honesty.

Well, mak sida was a fruit originally from central America or thereabouts. My Thai relatives and I joke about it.  We have a tree in the yard.
