I remember an incident back in 1970 in Korat when I was stationed there, where one of our fellow airman got killed in a motorcycle accident an the Thai's stripped him of every valuable he had on him. We thought that was just a terrible thing to do, but I guess the Thai's figured he wasnt going to need a watch,ring,necklace,wallet,or shoes where he was going

its sad to read that the above has already about 5 persons with first hand experiences of the exact same thing. Very sad indeed@!

What is just as sad is people who exaggerate, there are 3 first hand reports so far, not 5.

Here's another one: my 23 year old step-daughter was knocked from her motor bike by a loose dog. Whilst she was lying unconscious on the ground a helpful Thai stole her mobile & purse. Scum - on a par with grave robbers.

10,000 Baht and "2" mobiles !!

Pull the other 1

10k bht 2 phones at 1130pm? More like the workings of a drug dealler.

i think the good samarians did the right thing personally
