Grumpy Duck Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I keep hearing stories of Thai theives. Maybe I am lucky. I find Thais to be very honest. I am over 50, ok ok over 60 and tend to be absent minded on so many occasions but usually a Thai person will come up and give me what I forgot, be it a shopping bag, backpack, umbrella or hat. Just the other day a cashier at lotus pointed out I dropped a ฿20 bill, I gave it to him as a reward and he refused it 2 times. That would seldom occur in the US
fdch Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 after beeing in business in thailand for more than 5 years my experience says USA most likely also for <deleted>**g in public, bar brawls,breaking bottles sneeking away without pay, mostly USA never met an east european doing this( even russians do not steal in my place)

Beats56 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Well we all know Thais wouldnt be buying bikinis. Now blagger. A word I never heard of before and neither has my spell check.. I will have to look it up.

Its not a conclusion its an opinion on a web-forum on which many opinions are expressed... and sometimes shot down by someone being critical and offering nothing of benefit whatsoever to the discussion / topic. Back on Topic - I think they look as if they could be from the UK. I'd hazard a guess and suggest that far more has been stollen by locals, but that wouldn't make a decent enough Facebook rant or reach the news. It's a shame this is happening as some here in Thailand love nothing more than to revel in some xenophobic criticism, Fortunately the majority of Thai's are smart enough to judge us each based on our own individual merit, I hope this doesn't change and we become tarred by the same brush as these thieving miscreants. It simply adds to the Thai mindset that many foreigners are the dregs of their societies and should not be allowed in Thailand. I just ran into an old acquaintance and as we were discussing some of the old drinking buddies I noted that several of them were dead, but even more quizzical, several more were in jail.

biplanebluey Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I am sorely disappointed -----none of my new Zealand countrymen(or should I say country women) are on your list.But hey I suppose that's because we are considered---rightly so--- To be honest righteous citizens

Watch out for two Caucasian chicks on Ao Nang beach: one topless, the other with a matching top to hers, but missing the bottom...

"Outrageous Fortune" can't have anything to do with reality. I imagine New Zealand to be more like "The Brokenwood Mysteries"...

Actually to be honest I have found staff at all the stores to be helpful & polite. As helpful as they can when I don't speak Thai, but usually they do understand or find someone that does understand Yes, many are very helpful. Maybe I jave misconstrued and they are just hanginf aroind, hoping to be of service..?

IMHO they look like they are from luxzambing or maybe even Shesacuntland

I remember shopping with a viet friend in a Korean market in little saigon Calif a mexican security guard followed me everywhere I went, and was obvious about it. Any asian shoplifters were having a field day your feelings could be justified. I spend a lot at that store, and even though I often forget to place items on counter for checkout, I don't place them in pockets, I will often hold something in an armpit.
4MyEgo Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Answer to the problem, don't leave the front of the shop unattended, as you wouldn't leave stuff in your car with the windows down, or in clear sight of a walkabout thief seeking to take it.
