Phuket’s courtroom prescription: Legal drama escalates in Swiss assault dismissal

[harryviking]

Thailand seems to love Russians, and now they are in the streets begging! I know the "men in charge" want tourist money "en mass", but please, do not scare away those who are the real tourists and behave like such! 😣

I have one real rule, anyone who approaches me is up to no good and I tend to treat them as such.

For example, I was at an ATM in Cambodia a few months ago and someone came over to me asking 'where my money is' - this is the woman who was just at the machine before I withdrew about $2000 in cash. She had waited until I used the machine 4 separate times to withdraw $500 and then approached.

I looked at her and told her to fqck off and she promptly made her exit. No time for these morons.
 

Had a similar problem in London when a Black man approached me while I was withdrawing cash, funny how a very load Ferk Off works.

why would anyone in their right mind put together a scam that involves taking locals for less than 100 bucks? 

high exposure, low yield -- it's just stupid and makes zero sense.

They can be Swiss, the western part of Switzerland is French-speaking, three cantons are bilingual: in Bern, Fribourg and Valais, French and German are spoken.

 

Belgian, Monaco or from Luxembourg too.
