Indian "under-the-bed" massage scam at South Pattaya apartment



PATTAYA: -- Three Indian Nationals were reportedly caught-up in an “under-the-bed” massage scam on Tuesday which led to the theft of 34,000 Baht in cash from the trouser pockets of each of the men.

The money was stolen by someone who is thought to have hid under a bed inside a rented room where the men were taken to in the early hours of Tuesday after meeting two women who promised to give the men a massage inside the room for a small charge.

Mr. Sunil Sahah aged 53, Mr. Jayessh Khimasia aged 46 and Mr. Dipesh Sangol aged 30 were on a Baht Bus when two women on a motorbike drove up beside the vehicle and persuaded the men to disembark and join them at the room where a third woman joined them.

The men removed their clothes and were given a massage after leaving their clothes on the floor where a fourth person, hiding under the bed, was able to remove the cash from their trouser pockets.

Oh my goodness

[lee b]

More like 34 Baht !

[bangarang]

Payback from the times they were robbed from the ladyboy under the bed trick?

[hanno]

Don't they ever learn. And what is it with always three of them getting a tug job at the same time and on the same bed? I'd find it a little embarrassing.....

People from the Indian sub-continent seem to share rooms, beds and hookers all the time here. In fact I sometimes wonder if any of them ever do anything on their own. Presumably it's to save money, or maybe they just have more fun that way.

Certainly not my cup of tea.

ughh. On the other hand they (allegedly) had USD 1,000 in their pockets. Each. You'd think that would be enough to afford separate rooms in a flop house. But maybe you are right and they prefer it that way.

[laurentbkk]

with such amount of money I guess we wont see any comment such as ..... another quality tourists. ..... Well they should have learnt the "dont follow strangers" taught by their mother.

Group tours get discounts.

[Emdog]

Must be another slow news day. I thought somehow I gotten old one that got stuck in the ether. Ladyboys, underbed scams, extortionate bars.... "There is nothing new under the Thai sun"

[Alwyn]

exact same story about 3 (or maybe just 2) Indians (again) "caught in under the bed scam" reported here on TV just a couple of months ago.. Talk abut getting bitten twice by the same dog

[WitawatWatawit]

"Pattaya Police will now attempt to arrest those responsible and recover the stolen money.

Waiting with bated breath.

[Baerboxer]

Three Indians, travelling on a Baht bus, share three whores in one room. Then claim they were robbed of 34,000 THB.

Course they were. Just getting the police report for the insurance claim

Wonder if the insurance policy covers being a prat?

[fdbob]

Serves em right tight asses there is no way each would be carrying 30000 baht

[little mary sunshine]

Should read: "cheap hookers turn out to be very expensive" Police not able to recover any funds....Some

people never learn.

Safety in numbers (unless you're outnumbered)

[BMF1960]

So there really are monsters under the bed!

[sangfroid]

Oh my goodness

Goodness gracious me!!

I agree ,that is forbidden in my rulebook.

[Monkeyrobot]

Like complaining to the BIB is going to get there money back.

at a guess they like to compare notes on the spot and change providers on the fly

[jbrain]

From the thread title I understood that there was an Indian under the bed.

Quite disappointing as the hooker or ladyboy under the bed, where used to already.

[Rimmer]

Profane racist post removed

[dcsw53]

What a stunning coincidence. EACH man had THB 34,000 in his trousers, what are the chances of that ?

Having worked with Indians for many years I know them not to be inveterate liars, always to carry large amounts of cash with them ( that's why they travel on baht buses and don't take taxis ) and to always ensure they promptly pay for their round of drinks, which could explain why they all had the same amount on them. And none of them would ever engage in dubious behavior like going to a lady's room, even when invited.

[jacko45k]

Fancy leaving your clothes on the floor with all the creepy crawlies around this country.

Carry a hammer and a few nails.

[marell]

Who would have thought the day would come when you could mention "The Indian under the Bed Scam" and everyone would know exactly what you mean?

[BWPattaya]

More like 34 Baht !

So, one of them had 12 Bt in his pocket?

[slipperylobster]

I also had an "under the bed" game I used to play with my wife. Before leaving on a business trip, I would tie a spoon under our bed and place a bowl of milk just barely touching the spoon. I figured, if the spoon got dipped in the milk, it would be from the weight of two people on the bed, and I would catch her. When I came back, I curiously found the milk had somehow been replace with ... butter!

i can see the day when rooms have 7 foot beds and 2 or 3 toilets side by side and 1 toilet roll.........nice.

Whilst the thread reads like each of the Indians had 34,000 baht in their pockets I think the real amount claiming to be stolen is 34,000 baht in total from the three men's pockets. We all know how the translation can be botched.
