Wellllllllll this is Thailand and like in any tourist area, if you want to flaunt your “wealth”, specifically shiny gold jewelry, you have to face the potential consequences of that action

So now we are going to have a witch hunt against transgender people are we! And as for those who claim to have been robbed, how many were actually wearing what they claim was stolen.

I would not call it witch hunt! And Pattaya is long known, for it's phu chai suaai community and/with very  "sticky fingers"

I must be a bad person as I have no empathy, no sympathy for the victims. It takes 2 to tango or in the case of Indian victims, 3-5 looking for a discount with one hooker. What is not mentioned in the article is that for every one of these Indian "victims" are 80+  respectable Indians who  don't have any problems.These victims all have similar profiles; single males aged 21-45 loitering about known areas of prostitution. Although reported as being accosted, on the contrary, my observation is that they engage and encourage the street tarts.Usually there is inane  banter or condescending comments, and then wham bam the strutting peacocks are hit.
