Popular Post Mekmong MICK Posted Monday at 03:33 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 03:33 AM (edited) Per the title, I need to make a trip to Bangkok later in the week for an appointment and sort a few matters out. Will I be safe wearing my Rolex? I plan to stay the night and will probably end up at a couple of bars? Should I wear my Rolex and will I be safe from pickpocketers / gangs or should I leave it in my hotel safe? And a note; can I ask posters please keep responses civil and informative?

Popular Post marin Posted Monday at 03:45 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 03:45 AM No dont wear it you will be in great danger. Also dont wear any brand name clothes or running shoes. Right now people are having Nike, Adidas, and Hoka shoes ripped off their feet by shoe muggers. The most dangerous areas are Sukhumvit soi's 1-101 and the Silom area near a street called Patpong. I am not sure its even safe to travel to Bangkok. Just one heck of a crime wave going on now. 2 1 5 1 1 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have a Admin flog sending me warning notices I always wear one Rolex on each wrist cause that's how I roll.
