They (a group of them) were approached by 2 women on a motorbike. One of the women produced a knife and instead of oh, I don't know, moving/running away, they all started forking over money ? Check those CCTVs and see if the real story isn't more like one of them tried to make a deal with some ladyboys who either asked for cash up front or simply pick-pocketed them and ran.

 

A time or two, years ago I'd get a wee bit drunk, grab some McDonalds and go sit on a bench on Beach Road and watch the early morning activities. It was often hilarious to see individuals, from an  ethnic background similar to these gentlemen, approaching groups of ladyboys and trying to negotiate discounts or group deals. If you watched carefully, often you could see they had a number of friends (3-5) across the street trying to look inconspicuous while hiding around a corner. Sometimes they'd shout something and you'd see (3-5) arms pointing at a different group of ladyboys. I'm guessing the one brave individual was more likely trying to get a discount because if the ladyboys noticed his friends across the street the discussion would usually end immediately and the one guy would then approach a different group.

 

I swear, Walking Street between 11pm-2am and Beach Road between 2-4am is usually way better then any "reality" TV show out there. It gives you a bit of almost everything the TV shows offer, but isn't scripted and the drama is (normally) real. 

You get the Rom-Com stuff (romantic comedies of love-drunk foreigners and their rent-a-wives), action-adventure (dodging angry Arabs, puking Russians, drunk Westerners, psychotic ladyboys, crazy moto-taxi drivers), Crime drama (thievery, brawling, cop chases). Dancing (some not quite as sexy as you'd hope - old drunk white guys shouldn't try to mambo in a disco, let alone the middle of the street). 

It's also great when you look around and you just know that 2 of every 3 "white guys" you see has to be an ex-super secret special ops seal/delta/ranger/SAS commando (regardless of what they look like) and know that, at any minute, everything could turn into a scene from the A-Team or the Expendables (and just like actual "reality" TV, you'll probably be disappointed by the outcome.)

 

Seems the woman with the knife didn't bother with things like cell phones or watches and was content with taking just the  7000 baht, $200 & INR 2000.

A group of adult men - even Indians - should be able to take care of one female with a knife, right?

especially if she was riding pillion, heck just walk the opposite direction and you'll be gone before the bike can turn around.

I am having a difficult time mustering up sympathy for these men.  Who among you has never been cheated by some of India's finest businessmen?

you see a knife being pointed at you at 2.00am all logic is sure to take flight. your self preservation is more important than all the wealth you are carrying.

I was flicking through a holiday brochure the other day and in there they were offering family holidays in Pattaya.  It said that Pattaya was a lively family friendly resort with a nice beach and some great restaurants.  The promotional photos were carefully chosen and showed a family relaxing on the beach and eating at a pizza restaurant.  Beggars belief that there were no warnings of any sort!

Nope. Send a gang of them in for haircuts with my dorris and see where that gets them. She tells them to eff off out the shop and if they start that bo-dop bo-dop banter theyre really in risk of losing their <deleted>

[hawker9000]

....within spitting distance of the police station.  As so darn many of these incidents always are.    

 

THAT'S the funny part!

'They will now review CCTV footage in an attempt to identify those involved. '  Don't the Pattaya police watch too much TV?
