Motrocyle Snatches

[begsaresponse]

Please be aware that there are Thai gold snatches at work on the darkside. If you do wear gold around your neck it would be best to hide it or not to wear it at all. Also they are not only targeting foreign people but also Thai.

Be safe.

Motorcycle Snatches? I thought this was a gogo for bikers.

[soihok]

Yeah I got the wrong end of the stick there also.

I see plenty of snatches on motorcycles.

Shocking I agree, just totally lose concentration.

[LuckyLucas]

What's the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping tom?

One snatches watches and the other watches snatches

I'll get me coat....

[Wallaby]

And stay out.

Have witnessed this twice at the lights on Second Rd, near Tops. Chain snatching is a reality anywhere in Pattaya.

[Phil Conners]

Dumb to show off gold these days...

[soihok]

Totally agree.

Better to show off snatches riding motorbikes

Well after 25 years of visiting Patts,it happened. Just escorting my wife on Moo 6 near Nth Pattaya Road about 1735hrs yesterday & she had a minor surgery at BPH we were returning by foot to Diana gardens.

A motorcyclist went past did a uturn ahead of us & rode at us & tried to snatch my neck chain.

I had one hand on my wife as she was still a little woozy & her bag in my left hand, I must have looked a 'soft' target.

However, after training for many decades my instincts reacted & he rode off very unsteadily with a very sore upper arm & shoulder. {Empi-Elbow Technique) Unfortunately, I was impeded with the handbag etc . otherwise I could have got a much better Technique delivered.

By the way, I was wearing a button up shirt & no chain visible, I have reason to suspect it was a 'local' who had seen me at the BPH or Diana Gardens where it has been visible.

Last time I had an attempt on my person was in Rio near the Copa, much more satisfying ,got to deliver a full set of knuckles between the eyes & in a side street in Brisbane (Valley) broke the idiots arm & his mates jaw.(was not wearing any jewellery just wanted my cash in both instances)

Last time I take a shortcut in a lane , I usually lecture all my friends about exactly that

Who are you trying to kid? Just admit it you hit him with your handbag. Empi elbow technique

To be fair this really is on the increase, just dont wear chains in pattaya, plain and simple

This is not new to the Darkside as it’s been going on for years that I know of.

A few years ago after a spate of gold thefts carried out by Thai guys on motorbikes they had Thai police in civvies patrolling the area. Unfortunately the thieves must have got wind of the operation and disappeared into the shadows.

As stated it happens all over Pattaya, Thailand and other parts of the world and the best way to avoid the thieving gits is not to wear gold at all.

A couple of years ago a mate of mine was riding a baht bus down beach road when some Thai guy reached in and stole his gold chain, he took chase but the Thai guy got away and I’m glad he did as he would now be shovelling coal for the guy down below with red horns and my mate would be eating rice soup in a rat infested Thai jail.
