MRDave Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Maybe he has been ripped off by Thais for many years that he saw the chance to get his own back. Pattaya being the place it is. I'm not saying he did the right thing. One time I went to a Thai bar and one of the girls started to take the piss out of the fact that I was blinking. Later on she give me my bar bill that was one drink cheaper than what I had had and I said nothing thinking, that's karma bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been beaten up before for doing that That just goes to show how brainwashed some Thais have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full story: https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1105783-video-farang-thief-at-the-checkout-got-2000-baht-thai-shopper-tells-thaivisa/ So she was also short changed by the Thai on the till. It looks like it was not her day. Either that or she is lying about the second 1000 baht in which case maybe she deserved losing the 1000 baht in the first place.

HeyHeyHey Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 1 hour ago, Geoffggi said: Does it really matter if it was 20 or 1000 baht the principle is the same, he obviously saw what happened and should have informed the young lady she had dropped some money. It matters, because apparently she is claiming it was 2,000 THB Everyone can see it was a single note in the video. So she is trying to scam the thief lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dropped my wallet containing id, credit cards and 9,000 baht cash in a busy Seven. I didn’t notice it was missing when I got home. 10 minutes later I get a call from my Thai husband, fiancé at the time. A Thai customer found the wallet and gave it to staff. Staff found my wedding planner’s business card. Called him at 11:00pm. Planner called my husband, husband called me, I returned to Seven. Everything in the wallet was intact, including the cash. I offered 1,000 baht reward to the cashier, she refused it. I politely persisted and asked it be shared among the entire staff. She agreed at that point. When I got home I reflected on the experience and regretfully decided it would have a near-zero chance of occurring in my home country. Nice people, good outcome. I hope my experience was typical rather than otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am More Thai Than You Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Looks like a true Brit to me. Thai's hate it when they get their own nastiness dealt back on them. I'm not condoning what happened but why was someone going through the CCTV? Did the shop get robbed later by a local? [Edit: the Thai claims she lost 2000B. Now either she is telling porkies or she got ripped off further by one of her country folk.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myjawe Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Of course he is low so to pocket the note, but at the same time people who lose anything are just idiots, so they do not deserve to be given back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White trash arriving on cheap flights daily. A nightmare for those of us who have lived in Thailand since long before this garbage started to arrive. Of course all Thais are good people!? I think very many Thais are, but especially in Pattaya, in these pages we're more likely to see an article about farang being the victim rather than the perp? What about the story about the farang that was murdered by Thais recently Also, how do you know what kinda guy the farang is? He could have been a fine upstanding member of society where he comes from, then again he could be as you describe. We should beware stereotyping, myself included.

JimmyJ Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 How was someone aware of this incident, to then have the market check the CCTV? Did the woman come back, realizing she was a bill short? Was a surveillance person or a customer watching it occur but doing nothing about it? Neither of those seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat Tom Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Damn, I wish that I had been there and seen it happen. I would have loved to slap the old fart silly. We farang sometimes get a bad rap in Thailand and sometime we deserve it. We need to be proactive and police our kind and, I use the term "our kind' in a very broad way.
