Darwin was right. The theory of natural selection, means we all have to exhibit certain survival skills, and common sense, to thrive in this world. Self protection is just one of those skills. Some have it, some do not. Those who do not are prey for the darker spirits who live like vampires, feeding on the misfortune of others. That goes for streets in general at night, cities and bus stations, pretty much anywhere there are crowds and cover. I can't see why anyone would wear expensive stuff anywhere but to an appropriate fucntion or celebration. Like the Oscars maybe? But these people seem heII bent to try to impress whoever they think is impressed by their trinkets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTB1977 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 120,000 baht gold necklace??? Let's see. Report it to police, Than file an insurance claim for that amount. That's my take on that. 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveushorttime Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 If the Russian really did have his necklace stolen and it's not an insurance scam, he would have to be a complete idiot to walk down the beach at night wearing a 140k gold necklace. Or he has more money than he knows what to do with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of dark recesses and palm trees for crims to hide behind Best avoided after dark.! LOL. I must have walked that hundreds of times after dark. Never had a problem. IMO the other side of the road was the potential crime scene. Lots of sois to run away on, and waaaaay more places to hide. In actual reality, the ladyboys near Walking St after dawn were the problem, so I always ran to get past them. They couldn't run fast enough on their high heels to catch me.

There have been times where a LB will take off their heels to more quickly chase their intended victim, and when they catch him, whack him over the head with said heel!???? Many years ago there was an LB problem on the footbridges on lower Sukhumvit in BKK, they worked in pairs. They would wait for an unsuspecting farang to walk across the bridge. Suddenly, one waould grab his 'crown jewels' (distraction!) whilst the other whipped his mobile phone off his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
