FireMedic Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 So I was in the ice cream shop last night. In walks a young, decent looking white girl. She quickly dumps 2 Angry Bird key chains and a laminated card saying she's deaf and wants 100 baht donation. She nailed every table in the place in a few seconds including outside tables. Then she quickly comes back and collects everything back up and beats it out of there. I got the whole thing on video and I'm uploading it now. The Thai girls said her and another man come in and do it, but over saw/heard the girl speaking Russian on her phone on the in the alley. I asked the girl outside why they let them in and I got the usual "nothing we can do" answer. Either way, it was the first time I've ever seen a farang pull that one here or anywhere else in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyoldman Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yea, in another thread somewhere, the guy actually new one of the farang "deaf" scammers and yelled out "Hey Marie" and the "deaf" gal turned around.

NamKangMan Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 "Either way, it was the first time I've ever seen a farang pull that one here or anywhere else in Thailand." - you are obviously unfamiliar with the new "high end" tourist demographic that Phuket now attracts. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct. I thought it was only Thais who copy each other's good ideas! I wanted to take one of the Thai whistles and blow it real loud behind her to see if she jumped and at the same time equally draw attention to the situation. But, I'd probably would have had an accident, hung myself, or slipped of a high rise balcony last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindside Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The only people I give money to in Thailand are disabled and aged beggars at the market. Some young foreigner "asks" or gestures for a donation is going to get an earful (pardon the pun). It will not be polite either. Whether they are deaf or not.

kurnell Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I have never understood why people ever get scammed on holidays, particularly in Asia. In every guidebook, internet travel site, word of mouth, media, every-farken-where there are warnings. Parents tell their children 'don't talk to strangers' yet random idiots approach people in the streets with ludicrous crap like this and people STILL give them money??? Sorry, but no amount of education can help the terminally stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lHJT9nHSX0 heres the video. I watched the clip. What language was printed on the laminated card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lHJT9nHSX0 heres the video. I watched the clip. What language was printed on the laminated card? Just Thai and English. Again, the Russian guess is based on what the girls said out front.....Could be any Eastern European language and the girls will assume it's Russian. However, being in Karon/Kata, it's a safe assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
