Reporting to the Police in the state of semi consciousness from being drugged, Mr. James Edward Porter JR [45] an American national, explained to Lt. Col.

Strange timings.

He was "robbed by a Thai woman whom he had taken to his room in the early hours of the morning".

"he was woken up by staff of the hotel"

and the police were informed by 1 am.

More to this one I guess.

One of the clearest lessons is that it is a very GOOD idea for anyone bringing a Thai lady to his room to allow the hotel to record her ID. Most Yanks feel it is degrading and an invasion of privacy and such, but I bet this hapless lad would be quite interested now in just exactly who the young woman was.

If he was drunk, it could have also been a young man...:shock1: ....no ID recorded therefore we will never know...:burp:

And I wonder where people learn to read... No where does it say that the Camera is worth 200,000 baht (The comma is used in many contexts and languages, principally for separating things)......

According to Mr. Porter, the offender stole

a gold bracelet [worth 150,000 Baht]

a gold Necklace [worth 100,000 Baht]

a digital camera [Olympus],

Bt200,000 in cash and his passport including his hotel room key.

I guess that if you're robbed by a BG in Thailand, it is sure because you're drugged, not because you're drunk.

And well,sure not because you do not remember what you did with your money anyway... :rolleyes:

I find it hard to believe this guy stays in a place which allows guests into the room without checking ID and has half a million Baht's worth stashed inside.

He had 200000 Baht where? Stuffed under the mattress? Give me a break! :blink:

Not just yanks...a German had this happen to him about 2 months ago in Bangkok. I guess he rose a ruckus at the check in desk, so the staff let the lady in with no ID check. Happens to all nationalities...

This guy has a Thai Motorcycle License, so I wonder if he is a Tourist or Resident??? I hope they catch the Thai Girl, but return of his goods unlikely!!! They probably have been sold!!!

Obviously the guy hasn't traveled to much. Why the hel_l would anyone wear that much flash & carry that much cash. I highly doubt the value of the Olympus is anywhere near 200,000 baht. You can buy a Hassleblad or a Bronica large format camera digital from new york for far less. That is more than my Nikon's or Minolta wedding cameras. Furthermore he would have to be carrying a gear bag for lenses which Olympus is just a step over point & shoots in photography world. Maybe he padded the event to use a insurance claim back home.Story sounds a little fishy!

Why they always pick on Pattya?

Maybe she has another side of the story to tell?

I always de-whore myself with whatever I have in my pockets, and my room. Not to say I meet many girls , but, sometimes, you never know.

Habitual Offender...

The head line pretty much sums it up; there is huge upside potential to these types of crimes and very little downside. The perps do it because crime can indeed pay.

OOPS you are right, I misread it. But just to let you know, in case you did not, I have, in the past, used commas, so I know what they are for. So, again, for your information, I can read, I learnt a long time ago in the UK, where there is an excess of commas, does this sentence have enough commas? ( I just wish I could give Thais some of my excess commas to help undertand their writing!)
