brianbrain Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well think again! Some lousy toerag stole my shoes from outside a temple. TG found it so funny - especially when I had to walk back to her car across the hot tarmac. Whata nice pair of shoes......and favourites they were too !

fivevenoms Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Too true-I went to the wat with my wife and Mother-in-law the other day, and was putting my sandals down before we went in, when my wife, spying my name-brandage, promptly told me to put them in my bag. I was, to say the least, mildly confused-sandal bandits wandering about the temples? I guess one must deal with jerks in all locales and all walks of life. (Added bonus: My friend here had his sandals stolen and replaced with cheap used ones. At least they left him a pair.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandon Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm afraid that temples are prime targets for the shoe thieves. Lots of people milling about giving good cover. Everyone taking their shoes off to go in the buildings.... I know monks who have had their shoes stolen On the other hand, at least the thief can tam bun and make up for his bad karma.....

johng Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Had a pair of flip-flops stolen from outside my very own residence in South Pattaya, I can't begin to tell you how long I had to scrimp and save for a new pair from Big C (19 ฿ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
