It is rather dark up that way.

God I really love these staged photo shots! Lol

Nice hot-pants!

I don't understand how a 25k gold necklace is worth 70,000baht?

Women wear necklaces, men wear chains. (In my opinion anyway).

25 karat gold necklace... 70,000baht... what is there to understand?

Good job by the cops.

I don't understand how a 25k gold necklace is worth 70,000baht?

There is nothing like '25karat' gold. 24K is 99.99% pure ...

Audiophiles sometimes refer to the gold in cables as '25k' gold though.

Nice hot-pants!

should have known mbetter than to wear ANY gold chain in Thailand tourist areas, especially Pattaya!

What is it with Russian and those Ugly pants they wear?

I don't understand what 25k actually means!

25 karat gold necklace... 70,000baht... what is there to understand?

But isn't 100 % pure gold 24 karat?

I am 110% sure!

25 carat would mean 5 grams of gold, about $200 if 24 karat....so heaven knows!

I always wondered why some would use tattoos as body ornaments...

Finally I understand...

Cannot be snatched...

But beware of solid gold nipple piercings if you like to go around shirtless!

OUCH!

No need to snatch their staff, just beat the goblins up so they never come back...

Sad state is affairs when you can't walk outside wearing something for fear of being robbed. What's this place becoming ?

_{Well DONE by the POLICE}

_{There will be many more to come...........unfortunately}

Women wear necklaces, men wear chains. (In my opinion anyway).

Judging by those "alley stalking" trousers he is wearing I would call it a necklace. What happened to them, did they shrink on him ?

I misread the heading of this story and jumped right in, did not read the word "necklace" so I was a bit disappointed actually.

Yes true, I put mine in the safe while here, even having a expensive SLR Digital $$$ Nikon Camera around your neck shows you are a target, women with shoulder purses ...women wearing jewelry..." like catching a fish the more the glitter the more you attract the fish" I have even taken off my gold rings... the less ya show the better... keep low profile while here during the peak tourist season.

I trust I will see more gangs tempted by quick money by stealing from tourist.

Russians have officially arrived with their debut in the finger-pointing crime re-enactments.

I see in the original Pattaya news article that the necklace has been reunited with its rightful owner....I wonder if the necklace is happy to be reunited?

Love the local english, always makes me smile. But hey its better then my Thai!

I normally leave the house with my pants, shirt and shoes on and never a problem. I wore a semi-expensive watch for awhile and of course have my B15,000 smartphone on me and often carry my ipad around in my hand again without any problems. What I have not done is string B75,000 on a string and wear it around my neck as some kind of fashion accessory as I expect it would put me in grief in short order.

Looks like "All Flash and No Cash"....should sell his gold chain and buy some

decent clothes.....Who would wear flashy gold chains in Pattaya or any other

Large City, and than cry like a baby when they get robbed, Stupid is as Stupid

does.

There's no 100% gold.They keep dams here to 110 % full, and I'm 199% certain that the Russian had cat gold.

Carat conversion:

58.33% - 62.50% = 14k (acclaimed 58.33%)

75.00% - 79.16% = 18k (acclaimed 75.00%)

91.66% - 95.83% = 22k (acclaimed 91.66%)

95.83% - 99.95% = 23k (acclaimed 95.83%)

99.95 and above = 24k (acclaimed 99.99%) Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carat_(purity)

Carat purity is measured as 24 times the pure mass divided by the total mass:

where

is the carat rating of the material, is the mass of pure gold or platinum in the material, and is the total mass of the material.

I imagine this is a typo or incorrect translation. I would imagine they mean 24k.

carat tells purity of gold!! It does not tell weight of neclace. so price can be whatever, depending on the weight
