Danish man and Thai woman robbed in Pattaya

[rubberduck]

I can think of 2 reasons to go there. lol

It can't be the rotten girls there and neither a jetski ride. What's left, a gay bar ?

What is wrong with gay bars? Ever been to one?

Is there something wrong with gay bars ? Why do you think so ?

LOL. Sorry, but I never made it to the end of the story. "Mr. Paul Illic Lasbussen" would be a mispronounced - and spelt -Paul Erik Rasmussen.

It just amazes me that people carry these unnecessarily large amount of money around with them, especially in Pattaya at night. It's not like they're out to buy a laptop or a TV late at night. According to the article, the money was in the woman's purse, so it was hers, I guess. (Actually, ignore that last line. I just noticed that the "news" source is PDN, so it's not likely many of the facts are accurate.)

Many threads discuss the amount of money necessary for a night out. I think we all just have to accept the fact that for some people 2k is a full nights partying, and for others, 2k just covers a couple of drinks for one self, a couple of lady drinks, a couple of 100 baht notes for the dancers and a round of tequila for oneself, a couple of girls and a buddy or 2 in a random gogo on WS - so an hour of partying! And few people want to hit the ATM every hour all night long.

There are a few narrow streets off Walking street itself but they are usually teeming with people. Very few vehicles except m/c go up and down these after 6 p.m. until Walking street closes for the night.

Although it does not say what time of day this happens, it is still difficult during the day to get a car / truck down these narrow streets.

There are one or two back 'alleyways' leading from street to street but to be driving there at the exact same time as this couple does seem odd. I cannot exactly see a high speed getaway from these narrow streets, hell, you can walk faster than most traffic down them.

Maybe the PDN has not got the facts correct on the actual location? And a time of day would have helped.

Yes, it does seem odd that those targets robbed do always seem to have a lot of cash on them. Carrying 14,000 Baht on walking Street? I carry a couple of thousand max when I am out for the night. Maybe a bit extra if I wanted a lady

As we are not really allowed to discuss certain matters, I cannot say what you get for a 20 Baht note down certain establishments off walking street. But I will say that if you are spending 500 Bht per drink .... what are you drinking???

BTW... had a pretty good night out @ 70 Baht a beer tonight, with music and friends. My bill was a whopping 350 Baht.

That happens when you drink a lot every day

A guy I knew years ago had the same problem spilling the drink even when holding the glass with both hands until he got the first few slurps down his neck and the shaking eased

Even AA could not cure him

My question is why? Are you going to investigate this? Do you want height, weight, eye color, hair color, names of crooks? Addresses of where they live?

I would have thought it was obvious why knowing the location and time of day/night is important.
