A 28-year-old Indian tourist, Mr. Gourab Paul, who reported the case, told Pattaya Police that while he was heading back to his hotel with his friends after a night out in South Pattaya, two women surrounded him and offered him companionship. One of the individuals then walked behind him, furtively stripped him of his gold necklace that he stated was worth 85,000 baht, and escaped.

Please...

 

I don't believe the name for a start.

 

Two women surrounded him and his friends - these Indians are some tough guys...

You hardly ever read that other nationalities get necklaces stolen. Whenever I read about it, it is an Indian tourist.

google the name, you'll find dozens of references to 'Gourab Paul'. As for for the heist, one flirts, the other sneaks round the back and undoes the clasp. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book. 

 

And why Indians @Letseng? Because they like to flaunt gold. It's a powerful status symbol in the Indian culture

Yes and they also likely fear leaving it behind in their hotel... room safes don't have a good reputation. There has been a lot of mention of likely insurance scams though, and I would hope the police try to get video recordings of him on his way out of his hotel, bedecked in his finery. Just to be sure....

Who in their right mind would be walking around at night with such a piece of gold on clear display?

Looks like he was only wearing a vest too...(asking for trouble?)

Only recently.  1970’s, Americans.   Some Brits, French, yes!    Sometimes you want to believe something and only remember recent events.  Remember 2015? 1999? 2011? 2004?  OMG

Note to self: leave heavy gold necklace at home before you carouse.

It is simpler than that,,,, wear it until someone takes it off you, and never replace it, and a person can stop being a pretentious Pratt wearing valuables while strolling among poor people. My hand is up here!

[edwinchester]

Somebody needs to explain to the Indians how to properly wear a face mask.

[blazes]

At the end of the day, who (if he's a man and not a birthing person) would spend 85,000 baht on a sodding necklace?

[Excel]

So we are up to 85 k, any one going for 90 k ? These cheating Indians should be played at there own game. They claim they had a 85 k necklace stolen so Thai authorities should retrospectively charge them import duty as the allowance is 20 k. That will shut those Indian scammers up.  Quality tourists indeed, low quality more like.

Have you ever had a discussion with a heavily accented Indian in English? Factor in that they will both be using a second language. The policeman probably asked him to pull down his mask in order to hear what he was saying.

 

I sometimes have difficulty understanding what someone is saying when they're wearing a mask. (especially when they are a pretty bank teller)

I hope that this works out for these poor cheated souls.

I'm currently claiming for a roll of bog paper that was recently stolen from my hotel room.

I think they are all using the same necklace , first one pretends he has had it nicked so loans it to his mate to use.

Rinse and repeat.

You want them to investigate?!

Listen, they do not exist in the first place. It's just another Indian insurance scam

[RichardColeman]

Do these idiots expect us to believe they wear a $3,000 necklace out and a $2 t-shirt ? Surely that is a major clue in this Indian con

They sometimes do, when pressure has built up, I think we are getting there. I recall about a year or two ago, we had quite a lot of these necklace snatches, and up pops a case of  some Indians being charged for submitting false theft reports and insurance claims.

Indian tourist’s gold necklace worth 85,000

the values of those necklaces have been increasing steadily...

Why would anyone inn their right minds were an expensive piece of jewellery knowing all too well that this may attract unwanted and sometimes dangerous attention and consequences?

Show-off, idiots, dufus or those who are planing to scam an insurance company...
