Indian tourist’s gold necklace worth 30,000 baht allegedly stolen by transgender individual in Pattaya

[IAMHERE]

Wonder if the hotel has CCTV of him wearing the gold chain in the lobby or elevator?

[Tropposurfer]

OOOOH ... those ladyboys ARE naughty aren't they hehehehe ????????

[d4dang]

 Chain from back street vendor 5000 Baht...phoney receipt for 30,000 Baht...insurance pays for trip to Thailand....theft report 5,000 Baht...

Good for a laugh on a Monday .. indian eh !!!!

 

[khunPer]

Either ASEAN NOW's news-section is repeated old stories, or there is something with Indian males that attract transgenders...????

Indians, lady boyz and gold chains....What an interesting love triangle where everyone is in love with each other. Now what we need is a 'Happy Ending'.

Police report, insurance claim in the post... there.. Happy ending free holiday.

This is getting boring reading Indian tourist again  loses gold necklace 

To transgender lady of the night

It even gets more boring that each time it happens, the pensioners with no baht to their name, accuse the victim of being a scammer, and without evidence claim the gold chain was insured.

 

You really think it is so easy to insure a gold chain?

[Harveyboy]

move on.... nothing new here

I don't know if this comes under travel insurance in India... do you know anything more?

Thought not......

Thinking about how the gold chain is actually stolen, do all these chains have very weak clasps?  Why have none of the Indians needed hospital treatment for sore necks where the chain was ripped off?  Surely if the chain is ripped off your neck there would at least be some red marks on your skin.

 

All very strange....

Well clearly if they have the brass neck to claim something they didn't have, then there would be no marks

The back street chain cost 500 Baht once stolen cost 30,000 Baht. Most credit cards have purchase insurance. Why are these "quality tourists" wandering around wearing/showing off gold chains?

So you think insurance will pay for a 30.000 baht gold chain without seeing a legit receipt of purchase?

Probably because they can afford the gold chains, and you are jealous because you don't have it.

You live so long in Thailand, and you don't know how the 24K gold chains are locked, and how weak that lock is?

I am not yet convinced it is all an insurance scam, having seen a few Indians indeed wearing what appeared to be expensive gold chains walking about here

Yes I have seen it too.

 

They have a quirk for gold jewels/chains etc

Chain wearers arent very smart. Chavs.

Gold chain snatches ladyboy from Indian tourist, is that right?

Rats and ladyboys was the only scenery I saw at that time on Pattaya beach and it wasn't enjoyable.

An Indian guy from UK said it is a status thing, they like to show off. Indicates they have wealth and are not Muslim.... might also be a matter of not being safe left in the hotel room either.

Lol, I have never owned a gold chain in my life, whether in the UK or Thailand!  If I did, I wouldn't be so stupid to wear it at night-time in an area well-known for petty theft.

Staff at the Alcazar Ladyboy show theatre in Pattaya  report that  the majority of  its customers are India males, for the last 2 months   all seats  have been sold, for  3 shows per day  7 days per week .and .the same for the foreseeable future..

 

These  India  gentlemen  have got something about these  Ladyboys, maybe wanting their gold chains back .......????

cops must be getting something out of this as to why it keeps on happening ha ha

Well don't t hey get 100 baht or so for issuing a police report?

[kinyara]

Only Western tourists can be legitimately robbed at night in the dodgiest area of Pattaya, everyone knows that. I feel reassured that in the worst of economic times there is zero street crime currently happening in Pattaya. It's all an insurance scam, lol.

What a loser with his 30k necklace.

I just gold plated my Ferrari and soon will hit beach road.

They can wear whatever they want.
Doesn't make them more likeable in the eyes of Thai women.

Where does 'likeable' come into it?

 

 

Any display of indication of wealth will turn the head of Thai women.
