StayinThailand2much Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I think, the cops could quite easily find out whether the reports were truthful, if they went to a few gold shops (how many are there in Pattaya; 3 dozen, more?), flashing the pic (or a good copy of the pic) of the jewellery. (Presuming that the thieves would rather sell than keep them.) Edited May 28, 2022 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive restaurant….all signs they have money. Nice phone, computer….why??.?? Well, not many, when walking around at night, will get the idea to snatch your nice shirt or shoes. And even if, the resale value, esp. for the shoes, wouldn't be great. Edited May 28, 2022 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Anyone with common sense does not walk around Pattaya at night wearing gold, or a fancy watch. Thailand has been hard hit by the excessive shutdowns, and there is alot of desperation now. Behavior that encourages crimes of convenience should be avoided. Try to control the personal desperation that compels the pathological need to impress strangers, by locking up valuable jewelry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 8 hours ago, Letseng said: You hardly ever read that other nationalities get necklaces stolen. Whenever I read about it, it is an Indian tourist. Adam Judd from The Pattaya News was on Bryan Flower's YT channel last night talking about this topic. He said that CCTV footage did not contradict accounts given by the Indian victims of such crimes. He also said that Indians were unique in that they are the only nationality who actually ask the media to cover their stories. They have no problem having their names and photos broadcast accross the media. Western tourists, on the other hand, do not want any media coverage out of shame, embarrassment or fear of employers, friends and relatives finding out where they are and the company they are keeping. Many do not even report crimes of this nature to the police for these reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 To be fair, I have seen a couple of katoey, riding around on a motorbike, attempting to rob tourists. The 'western' tourist on whom they tried their 'advances', checked his pockets soon afterwards and then carried on walking as normal. So it's possible that this happened. Though whilst their peers are offering girls on the beach 400 baht for 'long time', the valuations of the neck chains may be subject to further scrutiny.

Stargeezr Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Do all of these Indian tourists leave their costume jewelry at home? Seems to be a lot of very expensive neck laces being stolen, I would be very suspicious if I was an insurance company in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
