reader Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Can understand why someone may wish to own gold but cannot understand why they would display it while traveling. From Bangkok Post PATTAYA: A Swedish tourist told police that a thief stole about 42,000 baht worth of valuables from him early Wednesday morning. Lars Reikwike, 65, told police in front of Pattaya City 8 School at about 3.30am on Wednesday that a man approached him there and stole his gold ring worth about 40,000 baht and 2,000 baht in cash. A 50-year-old taxi motorcyclist who identified himself as Winai said the Swedish man, who appeared intoxicated, was on a roadside waiting for a taxi when the suspect, who he said appeared to be transsexual, approached the foreigner. Mr Winai said he rushed to separate them in a bid to prevent a crime. Later, he said, he learned about the theft but the suspect had left the scene before police arrived. The motorcyclist said the suspect had frequented the area. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2909650/swedish-tourist-loses-b42-000-to-pattaya-thief Ruthrieston 1 Quote

At least he was smart enough to carry just 2000 not 20000 or 200000 on him Quote
