Pattaya is going the way of the west ,i realy do remember a time when you could have fallen over drunk in the street with your wallet next to you ,and someone would have put it back in your pocket and helped you home ,i kid you not.

Is there a CCTV camera in Thailand that does work?

Selective memory? I do not seem to recall any such time in my 40 years here. But suspect reality is somewhere in the middle. Surely there have been better times - but I would not go so far as believe an open wallet would not be examined in most cases.
