AhFarangJa Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Putting aside the obvious security threat of leaving bags unattended for a moment, what sort of dipstick leaves their bags and wanders off 200 metres to get something to eat........Lucky they were still there !!!.....

Muggi1968 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 In chiang mai bus/train station people always leave their bags on the station seat to make sure nody take it when they are away I guess nobody in north expect people to have anything of value so they not worry about stealing...

Stargeezr Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I have seen many people in Thailand leave their baggage at train and bus stations and go off somewhere to eat. It is because most of the stuff they have with them is not new and worth stealing. Just like most tourists who travel wise. Leave your valuable stuff at home and travel with clothes that are not new and do the same with your luggage. I use an old suitcase and backpack when I travel in Thailand and I have not had any of my stuff taken when I have left it to go buy food for my travels.

soalbundy Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm surprised that they didn't think it was packaged tea money and brought it into the station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
