chooka Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Why pick up a freelancer in their thirties? These women would still probably be younger than their daughters and there are a number of old farangs with wives girlfriends 30+ years younger than them. I guess it make them feel good and alive and they can tell their mates back home that they can still pull the young babes. Why do so many of these victims carry around such large sums of money? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post monkey4u Posted September 9, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2013 Who in their right mind keeps 500,000 each baht in cash and valuables, in a hotel room. That is assuming they had 1,000,000 baht worth to start with. Maybe the lure of an insurance claim added to the value of the goods missing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can read all they like about Thailand, read internet forums, live there, have a business there and settle there but around every corner lurks a possible scam and not just from Thai's. Those farang who think they know everything about Thailand in fact know nothing. Our two cultures are too far apart to get a good understanding. That is why forums like this exist. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotels have safes , security boxes, no i will leave all my expensive gear for somedody to steal !!BULL...T!! Well I know of one western couple, visit Pattaya every year, have been scolded by local friends and hotel management, and police, for leaving very large sums of cash out in the open for visitors, maids etc., to see. And it's all left out in full view while they go sightseeing for the day, etc. They also leave out in full view wallets, passports, jewelry (including bags of jewelry bought from big local gem shops which they take home and sell to fund their trips to Pattaya). Their response to scolding "you should trust people". Yes they have been robbed several times, but they continue to leave to leave it all out in full view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not only Thias who rob / scam people. There are plenty of dishonest & ruthless westerners and other nationalities in Pattaya etc. In Bangkok years ago I lost my wallet then my camera and watch. I later realized it was my 'best friend' (farang) who had taken it all. His response when I confronted him, 'I needed cash to pay the rent', and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
