A Japanese tourist has issued a public warning to fellow travellers after narrowly avoiding being robbed by a group of transgender individuals in the early hours of 21 July,on Pattaya’s Walking Street.

 

Tourist police received a call for assistance at around 04:40, from a male tourist, approximately 30 years old, who reported an attempted theft while walking through the nightlife area of South Pattaya’s Walking Street.

 

Officers arrived promptly to the bustling nightlife hotspot and found the Japanese man, who declined to give his name, waiting for assistance. He explained that while he was sightseeing and enjoying the night atmosphere, a group of transgender women approached and offered sexual services. After he declined, one of them came closer under the pretence of flirtation, hugging and caressing him in a provocative manner.

 

He became suspicious when one individual placed her arms around his neck and attempted to remove the gold necklace he was wearing. Realising what was happening, he quickly pushed the assailant away and called for help from nearby tourist police officers.

 

The group immediately fled and managed to evade arrest. Fortunately, the tourist did not lose any valuables.

 

Although he chose not to file a formal complaint, the tourist wished to share his experience as a warning to others. He expressed concern that the same group could target other unsuspecting visitors and urged police to review CCTV footage and monitor the area more closely to prevent future incidents.

So how smart! You are blaming a person for being out at a certain time, instead of group who tried to rob him.

Please, look up that problem.

Wearing a gold necklace in Pattaya is not a good idea especially at early hours in the morning ladyboys love them easy to sell  and surely insurance companies will soon wake up and not cover tourists who claim they've been robbed

I'd say Japanese are the least "street smart" nationality, living in a safe country and all. Hope that explains why this naive moron was out by himself in sleezeville at 4:40 in the frickin' morning.
