A few well deserved grazes on his face. Heading of to a crowded Songkran with gold around your neck how stupid is that? No I am not blaming the victim just saying he was a little silly.

The motorcycle taxi crook...was far more successful when he rode by and snatched my gold necklace from my neck...THEN...everyone tells me that wearing gold in Thailand...is a sure way to loose it...

This was just a spur of the moment decision to try to grab this necklaces. This gang must have been watching this group of tourists to identify the one that was wearing the necklace and where he was going to sit in the baht bus. This is ORGANISED crime...not just some stupid kids...

I am sorry to say I am beginning to hate comments which seem to hold victims of theft, or victims of political unrest accountable. Victims are victims. People should be able to live without looking over their shoulders. Perpetrators must be condemned and punished accordingly.
