I must have missed the memo that said every news story about pattaya must contain a ladyboy element

" the recent restructuring of the municipal department responsible for waste disposal in pattaya was given a warm welcome by local residents. " it's definitely a boon for the community" said nong bow, a pre op tood working at the pink oboe pub downtown. And now over to lek with the weather"

Mr Griffiths, you have let the side down badly. I thought most Kiwis had a bit more street smarts than this.

You should be deported across the ditch where you would fit in better.

Oh dear, with The Aussie burning three motorbikes in Koh Chang we now have the Kiwi's competing for the Darwin awards.

But what happens when "across the ditch" becomes the West Island? It means we get him back. Tear up that paper and try again, please.

Can we make that Darwin Trainee of the Month Award? These people have yet to sit their final exam. Thank you.

That's a good point. Anyway, I reckon he's probably a Stewart Islander, so not really a Kiwi.

I'm smelling so much BS about this story.

Where is this ATM that only has instructions in Thai ? After 1 beer he gives a ladyboy his PIN number ?

They then go to Lucifers and "they drank 1 bottle of beer" ? What, they were sharing 1 bottle ? Then he orders 1 more bottle and notices the ladyboy "shaking" the bottle, is suspicious but drinks it any ways ?

Then he passes out for "approximately 15 minutes" and nobody notices ? What, are elderly, passed out tourists so common in Lucifers that no one notices ? I guess the sight of ladyboys relieving passed out tourists of their rings and necklaces is probably fairly common as well. This ladyboy must be an expert at drugging, using just the right amount to knock someone out just long enough to rob them.

Of course, I'm assuming (as happens in other cases of "suspected" drugging) that the victim was sent to the hospital for a blood test to determine what kind of drug was used ? And CCTVs were checked ?

Lol - just saw the other story about a ladyboy complaining about being drugged/robbed by a gay man ! Karma is a bi-atch !!

And no matter how low we English get, there's always the Aussies and Kiwis to make us look good.

And what relevance is the ladyboy references in the headline and story? Assuming, arguendo, that this event even occurred in anything like the manner described, saying the daft Kiwi was robbed by a lady he met on walking street would suffice.

[ezzra]

Note to self, beer, lady boy and ATM bad combinations...

[dutchisaan]

What a joke!

[gp2002]

I guess being a Kiwi he was unable to read the ENGLISH LANGUAGE option on the ATM.

10,200 baht is an unusual amount to have been stolen. Needless to say this is a little hard to believe.

You take the "mr. smarts" award for that outstanding post.

Where is "great briton"?

The relevance is that a ladyboy was involved.

But using your logic, what would be the relevance of reporting that a lady was involved? Also what would be the point of mentioning that a New Zealander was involved and that the incident happened in Walking Street? Perhaps a better headline would have been "Person drugs and robs an other person", using your logic.

Why is 10,200 baht an unusual amount to have have stolen? Is there a national standard amount to have lifted?

Just saw this story in the TV news update. Seeing these two stories together seems to make an odd connection...

Coincidence?

[Frank James]

A man from New Zealandwanders down the Walking Street to see what amusements can be found therein. Wearing a gold chain and a diamond ring worth $8000, he is befriended by a "ladyboy" (katoey), and invited to a bar, allegedly "owned" by the katoey, the name of which establishment he cannot now recall. When the bill comes, he notices that he has either:

• no money
• some money, but not enough to cover the bill

The friendly katoey helps the NZ man extract a large wad of baht from the ATM. He tells the katoey his PIN number!

They go back and pay the bill, then they go to a place called "Lucifer" (at 666 Walking St?) where somebody slips a "Mickey" into his beer. He loses consciousness for a quarter hour, and then awakes to find he has been relieved of his ring and chain, and all his baht.

Then, we read:

After initial investigation then the police made record for evidence and coordinated with the detective police team to rush to arrest the lady boy and prosecute him further according to Thai law.

So, this implies that the katoey was apprehended and detained. Did the trusting foreigner get his goods back?

We are hearing almost daily reports of foreigners being given "hypnotic drugs" and then robbed. What sort of a drug knocks you out for only fifteen minutes, yet is powerful enough that you don't feel someone taking a ring from your finger, a chain from your neck, and money from your pocket?

Questions, so many questions. Hope to hear a happy conclusion to this one.

Doesn't look SO Darwinian to me...........Don't you have to have a copy of a police report before you file a travel insurance claim?
