renaissanc Posted Tuesday at 12:54 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:54 AM Also, don't wear a gold necklace. If 2 lady boys approach you and try to hug you, kick them away. Pushing might not be enough to get rid of them. They'll try to steal from you. But having said this, don't worry. Just don't take anything valuable outside with you, especially at night in bars. Bar girls might spike your drink and make you fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted Tuesday at 01:22 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:22 AM Go to Nong Khai, and get a Chinese Rolex from a street vendor. They are indistinguishable from the real deal. In Bangkok - when out and about - wear the Chinese version. When you get mugged you have only lost 600 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fittobethaied Posted Tuesday at 02:12 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:12 AM Back in the US, I wore my Presidential Day-Date Rolex with diamond bezel and diamonds at each number on the dial valued here at around 2 million baht. When I moved to Thailand in 2010, I quickly discerned that I'd best just leave it locked up in my safe rather than wear it out in public. Let's face it....the only reason anyone wears a Rolex is to impress other people. You'll never impress anyone in Thailand with a true Rolex because most wouldn't have a clue what it is, and anyone familiar with a Rolex would only think you were wearing a fake Rolex. Today you can buy a 100 Baht watch with the same functions and which keeps better time. My Rolex never kept good time. Once I finally dealt with my own ego and decided to humble myself and get off my high-horse, I kissed the watch goodbye and sold it. I suggest you do the same thing other than risk losing your life over it. And it will do you no good being locked up in a safe unless you just want to keep it for memory's sake. It's all vanity anyway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s best not to comment on things you obviously have no clue about Indeed, it is, so bear that in mind. As an expert, perhaps you could point out how any Rolex is "plastic" and what it is about them that makes them "overrated"?

Pumpuynarak Posted Tuesday at 04:51 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:51 AM Take your pic guys, i sold my real Rolex on moving permanently to Thailand as i could'nt see the point of having a real one when everyone would think its a fake and trust me you can't tell the difference when its on your wrist and even if its not you need to know what you are looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoBKK Posted Tuesday at 07:55 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:55 AM One of the safest Countries to wear a Rolex in Asia. I have my 90's Pepsi GMT anytime anyday since 12 years and never felt threatened. In my hometown (Milan, Italy) I only wear my Casio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Probably as safe as when wearing a big gold chain around your neck – I wouldn't do either of the two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted Tuesday at 08:53 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:53 AM Depends on where you are going. If you are visiting bars and staying out until the early hours then no it isn't. If you are going around during the day in the main areas then yes it is. I go into Bangkok shopping and wear my Rolex, never had a problem.

Unlike a lot here, I've travelled extensively across the world and I wouldn't wear a rolex down the Ramblas in Barcelona, Champ D L'Eseey in Paris or times square in LA. It's well known these places are prime targets for pickpocketers Just wondering how extensively travelled a supposed 21 year old can be while you were busy building up your business to just sell and make yourself wealthy. Your contradictions in your troll posts are getting ridiculous. Must be employed by Asean Now as a professional troll to gain post clicks otherwise why do they allow such an obvious fake poster? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya57 Posted Tuesday at 12:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:43 PM (edited) Just found another one of OP's inconsistencies. He's now apparently been married 3 times while still only being 21. Surely one of the 3 ex-wives would have got the Rolex in divorce 😆 10 hours ago, Mekmong MICK said: Even though I'm well travelled and cultured, it's a different feeling actually feeling like a local in a foreign land. Between wives 2 and 3 I spent a month in the Philippines to try and meet someone but never felt totally comfortable and like it was totally comfortable and like it was home. There were too many Western sex tourists. MICK Edited Tuesday at 01:00 PM by Pattaya57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
