3 lessons learned .....don`t walk up dark alleys....don`t talk to ladies of the second category.....and never carry your wallet in your back pocket

...as you mention it...yes...3 lessons. I was actually surprised how easy it was to rip off the whole pocket.

3 vs 1 - odds aren't in the lads favour and knowing scandanavian lads - he probably was legless. This combination easy pickings - moral of the story use some common sense.

Unlike Brits, who are never more than moderately intoxicated, and always polite...

now if it wasnt for the smell...

Meadish point taken

This is not a new storie in any way, well maybe the cathoy angle, but this is a common occurance at most of the turist infested hot spots around the world......

And before someone asks/comments ..... most police forces situated in such tourist hot spots, regardless of country, have a rather layed back response to such incidents.

So don't hold your breath waiting for any arrests..... ;-)

If one is being mugged, a front pocket will not guarantee safety.

If I am out for a big session, I carry nothing but that nights budget and a photocopy of passpost.

Oi! I'm a Brit and I don't smell. I have a bath every Sunday - whether I need it or not

Unfortunately, when I go out on a big session, at the beginning of the night I am unaware that it will be a big session.

In my (zipped shut) outside thigh pocket.

Any light fingered Thai's would have a heck of a job lifting anything without me knowing.

he is now waiting for a call to confirm that the group has been caught.

Im not sure what you mean about mention about scandinavians

in general, but i have been served more worst places than pattaya

(Kosovo,Bosnia,etc ..) and i never goes outside without an blade,

i have been consulted by an friends (thai policemans) that´s

it´s allowed to carry an blade/knife and it´s also your right

to defend yourself. This is of course my opinion but i have

been never robbed (tryed twice) and until now it´s

2 FIN - 0 THAI and i will try to keep it in that way

Of course my advise as an professional is that give peacefully

what you have, and try to get hel_l out of the situtation.

Anyhow, i will try to do my best that those katoye´s think

twice next time when thinking to rib off some innocent

falang ( i dont give a shit is the farang, german,british,swedish, or what

native) Also i wish the very best to all tourist and expat´s

in the thailand

(if someone seriously are thinking that thai´s give a shit about us)
