Amazing how these things always balance out. The Thais will pay some Chinese bloke with many missing teeth to take pictures while claiming a taxi driver returned 18 million Baht he accidentally forgot in the taxi.

One wonders whether it is pure idiocy, or the ability to tell outright falsehoods with a straight face that gets these people the job. The safest country I have lived drank caroused partied wanderd the streets late at night..m in.. more than 60 countries. The UK and most of Europe is really violent and the USA is off the charts. Thailand very mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indonesian currency is rupiah (US$1 = 14,151.1 IDR. so 3.8 million is about $268), whilst 3.8 million rupees is nearly $53,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robjohns458 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Anyone who goes out and gets that inebriated is irresponsible. There isn't a country on this planet where you are not an easy mark in that condition. I have lived in Thsiland for years and never feel my safety and possessions are in danger, but I also keep my wits about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen in Jomtien footpaths are just a smaller road for motorbikes ! This must be correct because the motorbikes travel in both directions all day and night RIGHT IN FRONT OF A FULLY MANNED POLICE BOX ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was the Chinese possibly an Indonesian national of Chinese descent and the loss amounted to 3.6 million RUPEES? and how can he be sure that is was a taxi-driver, maybe the car unloaded him in front of the destination he had asked for.

Stargeezr Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I have been lucky in Thailand , in Bangkok, I am pretty safe as I stay with my Thai relatives, in Jomtien Beach I stay at a couple of good guest houses, and in Hua Hin I have stayed at some good guest houses as well. My travel clothes are well used and not fancy, and I do not wear any fancy jewels. Drink only beer and order new bottles of it after I use the toilet, less chance to get any additives in the drink that way. This Chinese guy is lucky he only lost money and not his life. Chok Dee, Good Luck. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell asleep and recovered his senses to find himself lying next to the C Ekkamai condominium in Ekkamai Soi 12. Valuables worth 3,621,000 were missing and he went to Klong Tan police. It was not reported exactly what was missing. That 3.621 million baht of missing valuables doesn't include the brain that obviously went missing a bit earlier.

He lives in an Ivory Tower, and is completely shielded from the world we live in. He has no idea about the reality of life on the ground.

kevinmartyn Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I would say that Thailand is like many other countries but just like those countries you have to be diligent and do not go somewhere that you may face danger, lonely soi with minimal lighting etc etc. The mu-ban that i stay in has had several homes broken into and one was on the main drive 50m from the so called security. guess this can happen anywhere but the security check every hour and their are cameras all over the place kinda makes you wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
