Destiny1990 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don’t think one of these farangs stole it as they don’t have much fabric left to hide a wallet under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermarineS6B Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Typical..... Outside the Siam centre years ago a motorbike was totaled in front of myself and my girlfriend at the time. The pick up driver in true Thai fashion roared off and left the scene of the accident leaving the motorcyclist sprawled out in the middle of the road. It was a real bloody mess, i ran over, had a look at the guy, tried all i could and while i'm doing this my girlfriend in shock had put our weekly shopping down and was just stood there. When it was all cleared up she turned round to pick up the shopping and low and behold it was gone....... What's that about honest Thai taxi drivers again ? I like that fairy tale....... The worse bit was the guy on the bike was carrying nail varnish in boxes, but before he was scraped up every bottle of nail varnish had been nicked by the crowd....... parasites !

Falcon Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 There are no lifeguards on beaches in Hua Hin. Sad that a person died and just as sad that someone saving, it at least trying to save someone else’s life, has their belongings stolen by some petty sneak thief. What a cheap thing to do, I hope he and his family are proud of whatever he got from the wallet!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refuse to go and try to help as he had nowhere to put his wallet? I agree that there are thrives all around the world and I have travelled around many countries and seen many things happen but Thailand really is the chances capital of the work and all about me, me, me. inalso once saw a guy having a heart attack in big C, north pattaya, many years ago. He was carrying a soft leather briefcase and as he was falling to the ground, a small crowd of men gathered around him and the briefcase was gone before he’d hit the ground himself. Disgusting behavior to another human being regardless of where we’re from or where we are in the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much, Army and alone in the days when you swam well or drowned, as it should be imo.
