I have an idea.

Don't wear expensive jewellery when walking around in Pattaya. You are an instant target when you decide to flaunt your valuables.

Does the "victim" have a friend who can testify that he had such a necklace?    These stories are just stories until there is some sort of witness or CCTV showing his claim of owning a solid gold necklace is true.

Other than that remember, "don't take anything to Pattaya you are not willing to lose!"  555

I got hammered down on this forum for suggesting just that obvious reality.  Some people just like to believe that here, they live in some rosy, Disney, fluffy world where there are no dangers to wearing expensive gold neck adornments.  They are deluded.

Anyway, what 'man' walks around wearing a 33,000 Baht gold necklace, unless its with a matching gold larme sarong and pearled up shoes?

Huh? 33K Baht necklace is pricey? Small price to pay to learn a lesson

With the price of gold at over 2,000 baht a gram at the moment, it doesn't take much to add up to 33,000 baht.

But yes, it doesn't make much sense to flaunt it, especially if you going to be stumbling back to your hotel late at night after consuming a few sherbets - exactly the kind of mark that the hugger-muggers and pickpockets are looking for, pretty much anywhere, not just in Thailand.

The only way this might make sense is if he was pointing his finger at a particular culprit.  Then you might legitimately ask for proof that the necklace existed.  If he's not identifying a culprit, what you're saying is he might have gone to the police complaining that a nonexistent necklace was stolen by an unknown individual, to wit, that he is insane and reporting fantasy crimes.

There was another case of this last night in Pattaya.  A tourist discovered that his wallet was missing shortly after being hugged by a dude who looked like a lady.  He said it had 10,000 baht in it.  Do these guys think it is their animal magnetism that is attracting these "ladies"?   Hard to have any sympathy.

Apart from your virginity.

[Zorba_the_Geek]

Why do these morons come to holes like Pattaya and Angeles with anything gold other than their Amex and their dental work?

I once saw a scrawny guy in Tequila Reef having just arrived surrounded by his mates and the usual honeys getting smashed with a gold Rolex, several chains, bracelets and rings, he looked like a cross between Crocodile Dundee and Liberace. I often wonder if he ever survived his first night in one piece.

Oh the old insurance claim scam. That falls apart pretty fast in the Pattaya nick. They've heard it all before. 

Convenient though, as the cells are just though the door of the interview room.

There's even video of grifter clowns stupid enough to attempt it with professional documentary crews filming as their story collapses, and them being charged.
