An Indian tourist in Pattaya says a transgender pickpocket robbed him of his wallet, which contained 27,000 baht.

 

The man told police that he was walking along Pattaya Beach with a group of friends when they were approached by transgender thief during the early hours of Tuesday morning.

 

The thief at first appeared very friendly, the Indian man said, even calling for a minivan to take the group back to their hotel. 

 

Once the minivan reached Soi 13/1 the transgender person jumped out claiming had to get his motorbike.

 

Once back at his hotel, the Indian man said he realised his wallet had been stolen.

 

He said the wallet contained 3,000 baht, US$700 and 7,500 Indian Rupees in cash.

 

The minivan driver took the man to Pattaya police station to report the theft.

Most travel insurance policies cover very little cash, or no cash at all. 

Yes and I wonder how many travel insurance policies cover you for losing your wallet after a night on the town in one of the world's biggest sex destinations and after getting into a vehicle with a ladyboy you just met a few seconds ago? I obviously don't know about Indian policies but in the UK most travel policies won't payout for losses incurred whilst intoxicated (not saying he was but he may well have been).

Are Indian men usually so “clueless”????—- or is it Pattaya attracts the 1st time tourist who lacks street-wise common sense? 

Well apparently millions are coming so this incident is statistically insignificant.

Such nasty and bitter comments about the poor guy who was robbed. 27,000baht sounds a bit on the low side but when I was in Thailand on holiday I would take cash out if an ATM @ 30,000BAHT a time. As for insurance scam for only 27k come on..... Forget about the race it was another tourist robbed by a low life Thai.. Stop blaming tourists because I'm sure he never booked his their holiday with the cunning plan of a 27k insurance scam... OMG!!!

the guy was back from the red light district in the early hours of the

morning with 27000 bahts in the wallet (Baths\but mostly US dollars and rupee)

you can go out for a crazy night with 30 000 bahts in your pocket

ring the bell in some gogo or doing it rain in a disco, then you are back with

only 3-5000 baths left in your wallet.But here it's not the case.

What is the point here for this guy to have with him a full wallet of foreign currency all night long

while visiting the red light district in sin city? Enlighteeen me please because i don't get it

TYIA

No so much about being intoxicated, most policies have a small excess.  So, unless it was a $1000USD designer name wallet, you wouldn't be lodging a claim.

 

If it's just an average priced wallet, and the cash inside it can not be claimed, there's no point even lodging a claim in the first place, regardless of the circumstances in which it was stolen or lost. 

 

ATM cards are canceled with a phone call, so are then worth nothing.

What about the thousands of westerners who marry prostitutes from Pattaya or the impoverished from Isaan and lose everything? The Chinese, Indians and most Asians seem to be more intelligent in this matter!

And let's not forget those who buy bars.  ????

27,000 THB buys loads of friends!

But, as was said earlier, what sort of a Muppet carries that amount around when out for an evening's entertainment anywhere in Thailand? 

 

D'Uh!!!  ????????
