As the trend of gold necklace thefts from Indian tourists

So why do they insist on wearing gold chains looking like a damn christmas three, is it to impress on the prostitutes? A Klondike for the katoys.

These people from India always wanted to display what they have to the entire world. You can't change them That is in their genes for generations. Even blood transfusion cannot change that. Because they were fed and brought up as such from baby.....

30,000 would only buy a One Baht of gold. Hardly a 'Christmas tree.

At least the previous 'victims' claimed over Baht 100,000 worth.

Seems too easy and makes me almost want to borrow the wife’s high heels and try my luck.

Foolish behavior on many levels too be flaunting gold like this.  And yes I'm sure a random LB bothered this guy, I'm sure he wasn't interested in her services.

Wait, 1 baht of gold is less than 15g. The news report said that the necklace is 80g but only worth 30k baht. That means either the karat is low (9k) or it's embellished with lots of large but semi precious stones.

So according to this article ……

…….  As the item was over 20k baht, customs officials may just track him down for their share. ….

You jest, sir! Setting bait to trap prey is common for hunters. In this case, the hunter allegedly got hunted.

Insurance scam?

I've got to say for the first time in over 10 years living in Pattaya I  actually seen an Indian chap wearing a gold chain in Pattaya a couple of nights ago (now I'm not saying it was real but it looked the part).

I've seen many wearing gold/copper coloured bangles over the years but that was the first one I've ever seen wearing a gold chain in over 10 years.

Whilst looking for a ladyboy to come back to his hotel with him because he was too cheap to pay a 'bar fine' is closer to the truth I suspect.
