They not only target Tourists - they go for Thai's as well. My wife was slammed into the ground from behind and her bag taken, as the thief was picked up by a motorcyclist and sped off. Never caught and a loss of about 11,000 Baht at the time. Just don't walk close to the edge of the footpath with a clutch bag on the outter side, male or female. Common sense. Glad they caught the thieves. Break their hands - works a treat - they can barely hold a pen for life and reminds them of their crime!
