KhunBENQ Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Some will never learn. Walking with a fat gold chain in Pattaya? Using some remote ATM in the night with your blinking Rolex?

TEFLKrabi Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Don't think a B60,000 or 3 Baht weight chain is particularly big or flash. Just a regular piece of jewelry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing jewelry, asking to be robbed. Wearing sexy short clothes asking to be raped if your an attractive lady. Renting a Jet Ski, deserve to be extorted. Go to a Go-Go or Karaoke deserve to be fleeced etc etc. Some people may be more sensible than other, some more aware of personal protection - but no one deserves to be robbed or to have any crime committed against them.

What will they be wearing next, high heels and stockings? My Vietnamese wife bought me a 22kt necklace in the late '60's. She paid the equivalent of $80, about $40/oz. I still wear it; and it is worth a bit more now. And, I actually prefer my boots and leathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where from Buriram or Surin. ? I don't see where it says whose money it was. However, maybe he gives her B200k/day, and maybe she expects a tip for the gift. Or, she had to get the necklace back to the jeweler, so she arrange the heist scene, and expects a tip for the gift anyway.
