daveAustin Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Good to get them off the street, even for a short-time (). As an aside, can't help noticing they seem prettier (side on) than the girls, apart from, that is, that very manly dude in the middle at the back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Locked up for 1-2 hours then let out with a 200B fine and a stern warning not to do it again. The crackdown that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesWideOpen Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Dear Lord : Can we just have one week go by in Pattaya without a pick pocketing story with Thai lady boys in it ? They truly are the curse of Pattaya.. At some point the government should really consider measures to stop this ongoing nonsense that drives tourists away...

Yeah the police must have a really bad learning curve, as this " crackdown" has been done many years with zero results. So either the police think ladyboys robbing tourists is funny, or somehow the police are in on the action. I simply cannot believe this is allowed to continue.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because that 'manly dude' is probably still a man. Sort of pre chop n drop stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wotaplonker Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 the usual homophobic responses from posters, perhaps one would not get pick pocketed if you didn't mix with this Lb group at 3am on a darkened bit of beach road, probably in a semi-drunken state, this is an incredibly minor aspect of crime and corruption in Pattaya, the jet ski business and other scams have much more effect on tourist numbers and ahem not forgetting the odd military coup, and/or political riots, grenades exploding etc, get a grip <deleted> 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amse Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Only went to Pattaya once with a group of friends, never again thank goodness. Anyone going there is asking for trouble in one way or another, it's not just the ladyboys, there's also thousands of hookers hanging out at the bars and on the streets with their pimps looking to steal your gold necklaces and pickpocket.

DoctorB Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I love these bizarre Pattaya Daily News headlines:- "suspicious looking Thai-Laotian lady boys that might part of a pickpocket gang" ???? My suspicious looking next door neighbour might be a serial killer, but he's not been arrested yet; should I be concerned? If we're going to get arrested for what we might be, as distinct from what we actually do, how many of us can claim to be innocent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They truly are the curse of Pattaya.. At some point the government should really consider measures to stop this ongoing nonsense that drives tourists away... It may well be that ladyboys attract more tourist than they drive away. Especially the tourist that is out and about at 4AM. These were 'suspects', the usual ones, not particularly guilty of anything except being out on beach road at 4AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko45k Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Good to get them off the street, even for a short-time (). As an aside, can't help noticing they seem prettier (side on) than the girls, apart from, that is, that very manly dude in the middle at the back. I was thinking that they could be arrested at 1am and released at sun up, that would cover the peak-pick-pock times when very drunk tourists who are too cheap to pay for transport (or are looking for something with smaller feet) are staggering out and about.

BestBitterPhuket Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I assume most of the victims approached the ladyboys for immoral purposes, and then get robbed. Why else would anyone go to these areas knowingly and willingly at the hours when these crooks operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
