gk10002000 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Last month I was at the San Diego zoo. A young chinese couple was in front of me. As they got up to the ticket counter, the girl unzipped the lower pocket on the Back of her little back pack and took out her credit card! Any thief on the prowl could have easily used the old razor blade and cut open the pocket ( see the film bangkok dangerous), or simply unzipped the pocket. They seem to have no concept of protecting their things. Maybe just naive and young, but I know even when I was young we were warned by friends and families about not having things so easy to get to. Don't know if Chinese don't get the travel warnings, or just don't understand them. Maybe it is common in china or other countries to walk around with wallets hanging out of their back pockets, travel documents, ATM and credit cards easy to get at, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redline Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 And the police said, "Well, at least you didn't get hurt. So, was it a man that looked like a lady, or a lady that looked like a man? We'll get right on it. Try back tomorrow. No, we don't need to know what it looked like." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgent Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 maybe bring in a law where you have to leave your gold somewhere before you go into town. just like the wild west where the cowboy had to leave his guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure petty theft happens more often in Pattaya than just about any other city I have been in, but as far as physical safety I agree I never had any fear. Have always over the years there walked around at all hours of the night. Always kind of fun in the past to wake up after nap or after being a bit restless and having a stroll down to walking street and see what was hanging around. Great vacations. no worries I can reall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) They need to teach tourists to stay inside the new Happy zone. Should be a sign waiting when you arrive Pattaya to get your arse to the Happy Zone asap to avoid any problems.
