rooster59 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Chinese tourist robbed in Pattaya in convenience store By The Nation A Chinese tourist filed a complaint with Pattaya tourist police early on Saturday that 2,000 yuan was stolen from her wallet by two strangers in a convenience store. Ding Jianying, 36, told Pol Captain Thanin Kanphai, an officer on duty at Pattaya Police Station, at 1am that two strangers approached her inside the store on Naklua Soi 18 on Pattaya-Naklua Road. Ding said the two asked her to show yuan banknotes, saying they had never seen it. She said she handed her wallet to the two – one suspected to be a Thai and the other a foreigner. She said they talked to her for a while before handing the wallet back. She said 2,000 yuan was missing from her wallet when she was about to pay for her purchases. Thanin said police will check footage of the store’s CCTVs.

barmatt Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 CCTV will prove if this really happened or its a load of bs. Why not just show them a note rather than hand over the whole wallet? I call bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe those in organised tours do not spend a lot, but those who come independantly spend plenty. They can be found in all the beach front hotels, restaurants of all varieties, massage shops, malls and even bars in some areas. Be aware that they are buying up property and businesses and will have more of a stake in Pattaya than any other foreign nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly the 50 year olds with low price all inclusive tours. The young independent ones usually have good manner but have less money. The 40 year olds independent ones are the biggest spenders; you can usually find them in 5000b a night Pattaya hotels. The 50 year olds with low price all inclusive tours are hopeless and will never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
