she looks too fit to be thai. those shoulders i mean

Yes, I noticed those shoulders too. Not too common on Thai girls. Another photo shows narrow hips too. Is that what you're thinking? Along with I wonder if she knew?

Nice wife. Easy to find in Pattaya?

I must be living in the wrong town.

Luxury home without a closet for the clothing.

Fellow olie getting robbed, sad days in paradise.

I tend to agree, a luxury(?) house without a wardrobe

Reminds me of the luxury compound in which Bin Laden was hiding.. Seems the definition of luxury is VERY subjective..

who works for a well-known International Oil Company.

That didn't realize its liberal housing allowance was being exploited to finance a pied-à-terre in Pattaya and thus is not being named to order to avoid the instigation of a review of compensation policy??

I think lucky to find wife that doesn't demand wardrobe.

Looks like a decent lady, bad luck its a wake up call to upgrade security and put cash in bank, or a least a real hidden safe.

Maybe set new safe in concrete , and build new wardrobe over top with false floor.

Maybe he's a cheap charlie oil man

Couldn't afford a wardrobe?

No bars on the windows in a city with lots and lots of idle migrant workers left over from the building boom is just asking to be robbed.

I believe the wardrobe that you are looking at is a laundry drying rack on wheels, that they roll out onto the balcony.

We have one exactly like it.

Sounds like an "inside" job to me.

If you live in a house in pattaya check the back walll and ground of your wardrobe and there's a high chance you will find MOLD, especially in Sept/Oct during rainy season. Hang the clothes outside as in the pic, prob solved!

Jealousy seems to permeate this board!

I doubt that, they will be paying his accommodation in Egypt, maybe even over paying on that but oil companies in most cases throw cash and do not worry about a few thousand dollars in the scheme of a several hundred thousand dollar a day operation.

....obviously someone had been informed of their outing.....

(...reminds me of the other couple that had been robbed as soon as they returned from overseas...)

....sick jealousy and greed....

But he DOES NOT SQUEAK...what is now required is some PALM OIL in police hands to get the oil to flow....

Nice rack..... Im talking about what they hang there clothes on! Yeah right

That's gotta suck. I mean the iPads, necklace etc is replacable and all but I do think they will now be "once bitten twice shy" type thing and wil upgrade their dwelling here in Pattaya.

Cheap wardrobe for sale. Please page me.-

Since this is not a 360 degree photo, it is presumptuous to think there is no closet or wardrobe. For all we know there could be one, and this is just the overflow. With him gone lots of the time, what is a girl to do, other than go shopping? Hmmm

Jealousy seems to permeate this board!

Why would anyone be jealous of someone stupid enough to leave cash and gold laying around?

And anyone owning even one iThingy can only really be pitied.

rotary is the only poster that "gets it". This guy is far, far removed from being a typical 'Oil Worker'

200K might be a fortune to y'all but it's chump change to a person with his position, responsibilities and salary

Donk nailed it: Jealousy seems to permeate this board!

The wardrobe is full. What you're seeing is overflow.

I dont suppose the jealous ones have looked at all the photo's either looks like he/she has a "Merc" in the drive way, that will give themthing some to crow about...

but your right 200k net - week or less of salary for the guy or there abouts me thinks

Always amazes me how relatively few burglar alarms there are in Thailand, hence house burglaries are epidemic in foreigner residential areas. Foreigners have alarms in their own country so why not here in Thailand where they are probably much cheaper.
