Insurance scam.

A McBook. The unfinished biography of Ronald McDonald. I'd say look for a clownish suspect, frequently waiing, eating burgers, and furiously writing to finish his book.

To the Pakistani guy who claims he was robbed by a pack of women:

Good news. You weren't bested by a gang of women. Manhood intact.

Bad news: The ones that hugged and groped you to divert your attention? You guessed it.

I don't understand...........why weren't you wearing a 100,000 baht gold chain...........

I've never had a travel insurance plan that reimburses stolen cash above around $250 for emergencies.

And I'd never go on holiday to a country like Thailand without emergency cash on my person. Preferably enough for a ride to the main airport and a business class ticket to the nearest friendly country.

What else ya going to do with that kind of money? Leave it in the hotel room or what passes for the hotel safe? Safer in a pocket or a money belt.

1000 HKD is about 4530 Baht.

This is one of the few forums in the world where I'd believe such a story.

He is telling that to the police?

[HerbalEd]

I'm guessing he passed out drunk on the beach.

Great response

[Monkeyrobot]

Is it not high tide that time of night ?

[gyrosman]

Stupid is what stupid does, nighttime and carry that much cash and a computer heading to Walking street but stopped for a NAP.

It must of pissed off the tour group if was the one holding others HK dollars.

[gyrosman]

Heavy sleeper or drunk away from the others in the tour group and saving face about how many LD's and lap dances he ordered. If anyone has been to Japan and drink with them in their clubs well, use your imagination.A RICH Chinese tourist loose in Sin City.

Save face!!!!

[WishWashMan]

hello holiday insurance

in this circumstance how are u better off making a claim? insurance going to give u more cash, a sparkling new mc book?

[Khon Kaen Dave]

If a person is so stupid as to fall asleep after getting pissed up to that extent,then i say,sorry,no sympathy.And in this case i have to have respect for the opportunist thief who managed to clean him without waking him up.

Thats of course if this is all true and not just an insurance scam.

When arriving at Swampy airport, they ought to put a 'victim' sticker on tourists' foreheads.
