Looks like the cameraman is the suspect ????

Did they let last weeks villain out or are we on a new one?

Either these ladyboys are very, very smart or these tourist are very, very dumb. Just stop hanging around with ladyboys, problem solved.

People do what they do.  you are who you are.   

 

They want to come to Thailand and be with a ladyboy.     

 

Maybe 1 billion Indians come to Thailand and head straight for the Pattaya ladyboy!!!

 

For every Indian upset and robbed, maybe 1 million leave happy.   lol

A cheapskate Indian tourist with only 12,000Bht on him or did he miss a zero off his insurance claim

he's pointing straight at the camera man .....   does the camera man dress up as a ladyboy at night and head down to beach rd   ?

Why would anyone walk with so much money on them and not leave the bulk of it in a hotel? and beside, the manners that those Indian tourists behave, as if they were never been to a foreign country before, or that they heard some fantastic stories and Pattaya is some kind of a place that everything goes and allowed...

The victim is dumb; he thinks he's talking to a senior police officer but it's a motorbike taxi driver.

I'm assuming he did not have his glasses on and had poor eyesight - just to be kind to him

Why would LBs ask him for money, wouldn't they NOT want him to be searching his pockets for money? Sounds fishy to me.

I bet he would not walk around India with that much money in his pocket  and no gold chain the insurance company must have woken up

Perhaps he forgot to address one of the trans males as "Mr Birthing Person".....

If you are going out for a big night on Walking Street 12K THB is not so much.

I could go through that on a good night and i don't drink so I don't have that as an excuse.

 

 

I do wonder why it always seems to be Indians who are getting robbed by ladyboys.

Do other nationalities just not report it to the cops or what?

I have never been hassled by lady boys and have been known to visit Walking Street and Beach Road.

Any ideas?

When I have to believe the pensioners on this forum, 12.000 is peanuts when they are out for a night, so how would they spend it if not taking with them?

Because then the cynics like you would be here presto with comments, who leaves that kind of money in his hotel.

Ummm dubious this one. No Baht 100,000 gold necklace stolen. This could be just a wind up.

Why does it seem to be Indians and ladyboys in some sort of altercation all the time, surely there are other people getting robbed or pick pocketed, or maybe only Indians report the alleged crime?

Well the gold chain one was getting a bit stale.

I was thinking the same thing.  But just to be clear, I don't stop and talk to the "lady's" along Beach Road either.  

 

I have walked down beach road and walking street hundreds of times at night ,never once had a problem with ladyboys or anybody else. Note to Indian people, Just avoid LBs simples!
