DKHawaii Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 IDIOT! Still wondering if he's even telling the truth about the amount that was "stolen". Now I'm not siding with any corruption that goes on in Thailand (yes there ARE a bunch of corruption in Thailand), however, there is this thing called the 'INTERNET' where you research the "do's & don't" of country/countries traveling, especially for novice travelers...he just set his ownself up by inviting trouble! Accept the loss pal, and move on, (expensive) lesson learned!!! 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 If you are not going to use the hotel safe, then use a different hotel room for "entertaining" guests. Or perhaps a different hotel entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamnanT Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Well, this is an embarrassing day to be a Canadian. Someone should have told hm that being polite and modest doesn't mean having to be a doormat for the poontang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mettech Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I do not feel sorry for him he should of known better and to bring a nice young girl into room is dangerous even if you lock your door. He as a Canadian will have a sorry ass story to tell his friend so it might help the cannuck to understand that all here is about money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Unfortunately Canadians and Scandinavians tend to be more trusting types. This positive attribute means they become unstuck more often in Thailand where you need to be on your guard to some extent. Most of the money will be recovered but Ryan, the clueless Canuck, will buy the line from the cop that they were only able to recover 4000 Baht and then tip them.

If he was working under the table in Canada or US the answer would be yes. Bring the cash over to Thailand, spend it, and Canda Tax Revenue would be none the wiser.

chrisinth Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Expensive little lesson for him to be sure. Whereas I do feel sorry for him, obviously sight impaired due to the rose tinted glasses of a tourist, he will not be the only visitor to find themselves in this position over the next couple of months I'm sure......................
