I see they didn't bother with his GF's necklace, to small?

Why do people continue to wear gold in any Thai areas....?

Because they are told by Thai authorities Thailand is a safe place to holiday !

Pretty silly to show of all your bling whilst on holiday in Thailand .

We don't have to know that you have some money and showing some gold.

[sambum]

I wonder how long it will take and how many more of these incidents (ladyboy = gold = theft) will happen before Insurance companies will refuse to pay out if the insured party is wearing gold in plain view in Pattaya?

 

I also wonder how many incidents it will take before the police either have a meeting to discuss ways of preventing them, as they are spoiling "the image of Pattaya", or will they say "som nam naa", and merely file a report?

Sure, it's very important to show off presenting a valuable neck lace around your neck. How else to show that you're a VIP and on top very rich.

It's common sense. If you travel take all your crown jewels with you🙏😂

Why does anyone wear gold full stop? 

[khunpin]

I'm not a friend of ladyMEN! 

But why the 👹🔥 does anybody walk around with an expensive necklace? 

If it was in order to show off his "wealth" - it happened to the right person. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[kwaussie]

As soon as they got close he should have been suspicious, i am just astounded they can unclip necklace and whip it away without the victim not realizing. 

[bristolgeoff]

Travel insurance comes into play again and this time not a indian claiming

[khaowong1]

Why would anyone wear a $6000 gold necklace and wouldn't you think you would notice if someone was trying to get it off your neck? 

[cardinalblue]

Sorry but no sympathy what so ever…

 

People are stupid and go from there….

[Chris Daley]

The Thai girls like to stick the money directly on to their bodies in the form of gold necklaces.  Something about it being more permanent than paper money.  And the family can take it back when before they get cremated.

Ladyboys are getting a lot more brazen these days to target a man who's with his Thai "companion", or was the Thai "companion" in on the act and friends with the ladyboy?

 

 

A 51-year-old tourist from Korea, Mr. Seongmu Heo, along with his 43-year-old Thai companion, Ms. Surat Konin, found themselves ensnared in a daring incident of theft in Pattaya.

A companion who is a "Ms" too,   very suspicious   never heard a Thai woman use that prefix ever

[nausea]

Well, it is a bit like having a neon sign over your head saying "Rob Me". Having said that, I can understand why some asian guys might think it apprpriate. Farangs (in Asia) get a free pass in the status stakes, asians (in Asia) not so much.

Having money is paramount in some cultures, not least where we are. 

Showing it, else no point having it.

I agree with you and have not worn any for some years, my arthritic finger swelled and I had to cut off the ring I had had for near 50 years.... my gold chain went sailing off with the thief on a motorcycle some years ago here. 

Some do not trust leaving it behind in the hotel too.

So they can pay for the holiday with an insurance claim

What an odd comment. Even really poor Thai people wear gold.

[still kicking]

They must be buying from the same gold shop as the Indians the price of a neckless is always 200.000 baht.

I tried to warn a guy wearing a large Gold chain in town, he told me it was fake. Wonder how many are?

[NobbyClarke]

Ms. Korin? Has she never heard of lady boys?

Maybe a set up by her!

In any case IF!? it really happened and this is not an insurance scam!? he can claim the money back.

A little OTT by him.
