A Sri Lankan tourist went to the Pattaya police early this morning to say that he had been the victim of theft. 

 

Chaminda M., 36, said he was walking with a couple of friends near a market in central Pattaya when he was accosted by a woman on a motorcycle. 

 

He got on the back and they chatted for a moment but he soon got off and she rode off. 

 

When he checked his personal belongings $700 (22,000 baht) was missing along with a credit card and other personal documents. 

 

He was convinced the woman was responsible. 

 

Police are investigating.

Anyone else noticed the rise in petty theft here lately? 

 

Of course, it's the tourist's fault. Right?

Look at the cop's smug face as he listens intently to this story of woe.  Now guess what action will be taken to bring the perp to justice.  Pattaya police are a disgrace to a nation which has these headlines just from today's BKK Post -

Does she have octopus tentacles to drive a bike while reaching behind herself to get to his bag?  how does he not notice this?

 

anyhow.  they found the 22,000, told him they found 1,000, gave him 100 and it's a mai bpen rai.

 

enjoy!!

How do you accost somebody when they're sitting behind you on a motorbike? Did she have a midget with soft fingers hiding in her underwear? Where did a Sri lankan get  22000 baht anyway? 

He was holding the week's spending money for him and his 21 mates.

How do you know they don’t work in Singapore or somewhere else they get paid reasonably well??

They weren't paid all that well in Saudi when I was there, and their vacations always meant going home to a family.

It's a brief article, short on details.  Maybe there were two lady boys riding around and one got off the bike for the victim to get on, and it was he who was doing the "rubbing and thieving."

Who carries 700USD in his wallet when having a walk in Pattaya? Do those people never have heard of credit or atm card?

Even better: Have your walk with a 10-Baht-Chain around your neck ????

Me..... what is, it about 20,000 baht?

I got credit cards and ATM card too, but usually draw cash out once a week.

 

My gold chain got yanked off years ago.

The bar girls may be very impressed when you open such a big fat THB-wallet in a place where you find an ATM every hundred meters.

Amazing! ????

[tinca tinca]

I prefer not to have my ATM card with me (no Credit Cards too) when out enjoying myself. I regard standing in the open withdrawing money at an ATM at night as dumb as wearing gold chains.

You never know what could happen here, and one may need access to money immediately, for a good, or not so good purpose.  For this reason, I carry my ATM card, but the card is on a secondary account attached to my main account.

 

When I have needed to withdraw money at night, I use the ATM's at the front of Family Marts, or the foyers of larger hotels.  The outside is will lit up and under CCTV.
