Well, they can't blame the transvestites this time...

Transvestites and transsexuals are two different things. Read a bit more, you'll catch on sooner or later.

Yep.

Whenever I pop out for a beer down walking street I always take a minimum of $2000. with me

 

 

 

They have a habit of not  trusting their hotel room as a place to leave valuables. Personally I am a bit of a pedant, and have taken the cash to pay the Bolt, out of the wallet before it arrives and placed it handy, so that the wallet can be back in the secure pocket.

Was his gold chain taken as well?

Had they been in a taxi, it would have been back with them by now, left with police for photo op

So you're saying that a 'regular' taxi driver would have (100% sure) very quickly returned his belongings. 

 

And are you saying that BOLT drivers don't return property left in their vehicles? 

 

Really? I challenge all of that completely.

 

There's honest and dishonest people in every aspect of life, every country, and including those we engage with in any form of business transaction.

 

Fact of life.

 

To suggest that BOLT drivers are all thieves who don't return property cannot be substantiated and is  very unfair. But perhaps the poster has proof, please share.

The group had hailed the Bolt service via its app from Soi Bua Khao to Walking Street in South Pattaya.

Pure laziness!  

 

I've lost count of how many Indian tourists have reported losses.  The insurance companies must be getting really p....ed-off.

I read it as more of a sardonic comment..... not as literal as you seem to have read it.

Having no idea how Bolt operate but aren't the vehicles tracked real time by Bolt and information kept on file for a period ?

Although Bolt does have a facility in the App to attempt to recover items left behind.... I rarely record a taxi driver's details. 

An alternative hypothesis is, the girls he was with acted together to steal the money from him. On balance of probability far more likely, as Thai women usually reject Indian men on the basis of their dark skin.

The most cash I have ever carried with me in a night zone is 2000 baht. Enough to buy a bar fine and some lady drinks. Anyone having 75,000 baht on their person is asking to get robbed.

I don't see that as a valid argument.

 

You don't know and I don't know if that's happened and whether nobody wanted photos to be taken.

 

I've used BOLT many times. Every time the driver has checked as I'm alighting that I've taken all my belongings.
