Nai Harn Theft-Heads Up

[snamos]

Maybe the point from Katasyd was that certain type of people will rob you, and if you hang around them or invite them back to your place you are asking to get robbed. Either in the morning when your to hungover to get out of bed, or later when the place has all ready been sussed out. I would hazard a guess and say that a great majority of break ins would be a set up by someone you know.

I've been robbed and its never been a stranger its all ways someone you trust or have trusted even if only for a brief period.

No one from this forum can tell me they regularly have the local long-tail captains, tuk tuk gangs or motorbike taxi drivers from Rawaii round at their house as great mates. And if they did I would be suprized if they didnt get robbed that night, they have no qualms about robbing tourists daily so whats the difference?

Rawaii has got a lot of crap from all nationalities and we will see this low season people getting kicked off motorbikes...houses getting robbed...and the occasional farang on farang murder.

The main reason it has a high crime rate is there is no police presence down there.

Quite funny actually. A friend and I were talking just a couple of days ago about how the muggings and burglaries seemed to have (almost) disappeared compared to a couple of years ago.

At least it appears that only the burglaries are becoming more common again - far more acceptable than muggings

Edit - in the Rawai/Nai Harn area, although the muggings were also v common on the Kata road.

Exactly.

It's the company you keep that always leads to trouble with break ins.

Either the maid, a bar girl or even your wifes brother/cousin/ wifes thai boyfriend can rob the house and you're none the wiser.

8 years and i have never had a crime committed against me and i put that down to hanging out with the right people and keeping out of bars.

When the local see you sitting on the bar stool day in day out, they know your patterns and know when to strike.

seriously, gentlemen, i could care less about who you socialize with, why you pat yourself on the back and pride yourself for being above others making a living here, or which sort of educated vaginas you find appealing...all i wanted to do was give a heads up to the TV members around where i live and around nai harn.

this is so f*cking off topic--i hope this thread is closed.
