I bought a security wallet with incidents like this in mind.. It has a loop on it which your belt passes through, and then tucks inside your trousers. Feels like a normal wallet, but would take brute force to steal.

I had a Lady boy try to steal from me while I was walking late at night,I kicked it's arse and then it went to the police.The police found me and I showed them my police ID,they asked me if I wanted it in jail.I told them it is up to them,I didn't care because it lost.They took it away,I imagine to kick it's arse again.The nerve to try to steal from me and go to the police. :o  :D  :D

This sounds more like you didn't pay the ladyboy so the Police were involved :D  :D come on tell the truth!


Yes. If you remove the word 'kicked' and replace it with another adjective the post takes on a completly new meaning. :wai:

There have been much more frequent and serious muggings/purse snatchings recently committed by Thais against Thais.  Everyone should be cautious.

Very true, actually one of my Thai friends got mugged by On Nut BTS station, she was walking along, motorbike came along and grabed her bag.Not surprisingly, no one did anything .

I have not been back to Thailand yet.  

One thing I did come to realize is that you spend your time in Thailand at your own risk, no one cares about you and do not expect any help when you need it, for the most part you are on your own.

I hope this incident is not the reason you have not been back.  While it's true this happens all the time in Thailand, the fact of the matter is, this stuff happens in every tourist destination in the world.  I'm from the US and this happens in San Francisco, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, etc., all the time.  Touristy Night Clubs are prime locations, as people are usually a little drunk, and easy victims in crowded/confined spaces.  Often the police (yes even in the US) often seem as if they are above filing a report for what they deem a small offense (especially if they could tell you were drinking).  

It's kind of common sense, but the best defense is just to be aware of your surroundings... In crowded spaces, place your hands at your side and have your wallet in your front pocket.  When I go out, I hardly ever carry a wallet (never carry my credit cards) and have a laminated copy of my passport/visa and contact info.

I'm 40, 5ft 10in (1.78m), 100kg - pretty stocky!
I tend to wear cargo type trousers or shorts - maybe the pockets are what attract robbers?
I am very observant though - its part of my job.

Is that your fat ass in your Avartar Haddo? Some kinda CIA spy are ya? SAS perhaps?

....and don't tell me, if you told us your job you'd have to kill us right?

...probably a rent-a-cop come wanabe CIA agent :D

"Sheese louese, now I know why your avartar is a baby....what a "dummy spit" You sound like someone who has been badly burnt in Oz? He sounds pretty fit, I wouldn't try to punch him on the nose?? Wassa matta you wouldn't be vertically challenged would you????" :o

I think the best advice is to try not to look nervous and try not to look like a tourist whilst walkiing in any city in anywhere in the world. Muggers/theives target charactors (marks) that look like victims. Whereever you are, just pretend it is the street that you grew up on and be confident.

On a Monday night about 9pm on the odd numbered side just before the Asok intersection I had some ladyboy make a grab for my pants pocket just as another emerged from the shadows. Gave the first one a big shove and yelled at the other one and they both backed off.

i am surprised they didn't fight back since there were 2 of them! consider yourself lucky!

Saw an attempted snatching/pickpocketing at Pratunam in front of the Amari lastnight.

Incident as it unfolded.....

Me just loitering around infront of the hotel waiting, sees a big african guy walk by. African guy in suit and tie. A minute later see same big african guy run by (slowly, he was big). See a small older small white guy run even slower after him shouting.
The tuk tuk/taxi louts in front of the Amari goes ????
Then white guys thai female companion runs after and says something in thai doing the chain snatching gesture. All the tuktuk/taxi louts run after African. ( I was very tempted to run after and join in on the beating too but common sense thankfully prevailed). They catch him, alot of shouting. The small white guy and his woman gets in a grabbing pulling match with him. Not sure if they got back what they want. See the African walk back in my direction saying " I go get my wife, I bring my wife!!!". TukTuk/Taxi louts saying "go get her, bring her". White guy and his woman saying something. Me smirking at the african.

I have to say though that seldom have I seen someone run so slow and lack the stamina to to even run a distance of 20-50metres.

He got off luckiy though, the last time something like this happen on my soi, the gold chain snatcher had the entire soi beating him.

You seem to have alot of interest in its arse????  Did you feel big and strong flashing around you're Police ID in Thailand?  Did you use it to get into some nightclubs for free, or do you save that for when your at home?  Is it a real one, or did you buy it at Patpong?  Do you drive a real Police car?  Does it go fast?  Do you carry a real gun?  Have you ever shot somebody?  Anyway, sorry to bother you officer....I'll let you go now & you can walk around and poke your pigeon chest out a bit more. :o

Sorry Bunnaag, you are absolutely correct, that was wrong of me to re-write what what the other poster had stated, it was actually a mistake I meant to say 'her', not 'it', I meant no disrespect to the person being kicked, it must take a brave man who feels he is tough enuf to go around kicking the lady, perhaps he should try to understand a little bit more about lady boys before he gets voilent with her.  There are better ways to deal with her trying to pick ur pocket.  

Please accept my appology. :D

Neverdie... what foolishness are you spouting?  Understanding ladyboys better?  You are trying to say that THIEVERY is a ladyboy trait and we should be forgiving since they just cant help it?  Ridiculous, you go ahead and let people rape and rob you, I will have boundaries thankyou very much.

Sorry, touche as they say.  I wasnt chained to the lampost, but I did have to walk past them 14 times before they tried to mug me....

No, to clarify after my appauling use of the Queens very own vernacular, I was mobbed by lady boys, and then in a completely seperate incident a couple of weeks later some young lads had a go too.  Probably doesnt sound any less perverse, nor really needed saying but hey, thought I would clear the air.

In answer to a previous question, both incidents happened at about 10pm.  Reading the posts on here it doesnt sound like I am the only one.
