Robin Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Perhaps a small payment to the RTP to ensure that thy get a convincing 'theft report' for the insurance company If here is a real gang of Transgenders doing this RTP could well be involved.

"I was just walking at 1.30 am with my 100k necklace and it was stolen". he said he went out from his hotel "just to relax". this sounds more reliable than just going out for a walk. this way he can tell the insurance company he allways kept the gold in a safe in the room, and just took it out to refresh when he went out to relax, and allways not too far from the hotel.

That brings up the questions: Do Indian tourists read or watch news? And do they use their brain to act according to those news? They apparently do. And they get insurance because, gosh darnnit, something just might happen to them . . . And who would take a picture of a brass chain anyway? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are using some 5 star or at least a good hotel, I would be nervous about leaving valuables in a room safe. Claiming they were stolen from a room safe would be very negative for any hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought they had caught the culprits recently. Either an ongoing insurance scam by tourists, or perhaps working with gold shops and stealing them for reselling?? Always seems strange no violence involved but they manage to get a secured necklace of a victim, either dodge claps or very skilled On 6/23/2022 at 9:53 AM, OneMoreFarang said: This and many similar articles are about Indian tourists.

bendejo Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 BiB is quite familiar with travel insurance claims, enough occidental backpackers have come to them in need of a police report to file their claim, sometimes they make accusations of monkey business on the part of the claimants. The concept of baksheesh is very much part of Indian life, perhaps they have an understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported by Pattaya News (some time ago) that most nationalities do NOT give permission for the details of the robberies to be reported and published - but that Indians DO give permission for publication of details and photos. So, the inference may be that it does happen to other nationalities, but is not reported in the news. Edited June 24, 2022 by law ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longreach Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 but if the claim is rejected by the insurance company, the claimant hasnt lost anything. he still has the necklace. i have no doubt of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
