Moments later he fell asleep and woke up 3 hours later to find that Travelers Checks totaling 4,000 Swiss Francs which equates to around 120,000 Baht along with cash amounting to 150 Euro’s and 800 Swiss Francs was taken. Security Cameras at the Hotel are currently being checked and Police are attempting to locate the woman, who they suspect may have left Pattaya following the incident

I guess the guard goes down post coitus. How can a Thai lady cash Swiss travelers checks in a European male name?

a Thai woman aged around 40? <deleted>!

*note to self* remember not to carry $6000 on me if I ever engage in sexual intercourse with a random well seasoned hooker in Pattaya.

Well least he is smart enough to use travelers cheques.. little lost dosh, pride lost and just a bit inconvenienced.

[niveknedwob]

He is Swiss ..... and 70 - what is wrong with staying home, keeping out of wars, and whittling little bird type objects for clocks.

Lederhosen don't hold any weight in Pattaya. <deleted> was he thinking - eating (probably) non-Swiss chocolate ???

What is any fool doing in Pattaya!!!

[britmaveric]

Never drink or eat anything from a person you do not know. Keep what you drink or eat always in your sight..

Lock anything of value in your safe.

Or, stay away from free-lancers.

I hope she is apprehended and I hope he gets his money and possessions back.

well the old fella was 70 after all, a younger one would have killed him

At least she was kind enough to use the dodgy chocolate,

it wouldnt have taken much for her to overpower a 70 year old, she could have blown him over

(pardon the pun)

edit:got my ages wrong!

Why does every bloke caught with his pants down in Pattaya newspapers always look like a reprobate?

[bangkokrick]

He is lucky to live and tell the tale. Some of the recent drug victims have not been that lucky.

Cheers, Rick

Looks like you where hiding at home too and not going to School, otherwise you would know that Lederhosen and the mentioned type of clocks have absolutely nothing to do with Switzerland. However he went to School and learned there that Traveller Checks are much safer then Cash.

The travelers checks can be cancelled and refunded/reissued...good move by the Swiss there. The cash is a write-off. Just hope that when I'm 70 I'm still chasing the birds

Good no serious harm was done.

[ronrat]

Anyone staying at the Carlton with that sort of money is a cheap charlie. Something is not right here.

Eating chocolate and rendered unconscious moments later??As far as I am aware no orally ingested hypnotic works within moments.The majority of hypnotics take at least 30 minutes to take effect,due to the delay in absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract.

Any drug spiking would have taken place before eating the chocolate,although there is a strong possibility that the victim's testimony may have been influenced by drug induced amnesia.
