Bayhill has had 2 experiences within the last few months; someone else mentioned that Pim from Casa had jacked him; I sometimes read on other message boards about how people are getting ripped off all the time; question is, how common is this?
for me, 2 times in 6 years. first was when I was still a rookie way back in 1998.....walking down Sukhimvit one night I was accosted by a ladyboy who basically groped me up and I told her to get the hell away from me in no uncertain terms and pushed her away; I wasn't even into ladyboys then! about a block down I was going through my pockets and realized that she had lifted some cash right out of my front pocket! thank God it was only 300 baht; I was just a poor scumbag backpacker back then and it was all I could have on me at one time, but thankfully it wasn't my passport or something.
2nd time was on a photo assignment in Phuket in 2002. I had 3 ladyboys in the room doing a shoot, a large-scale sex orgy and of course I got involved and put down the camera. this is when I was less professional than I am now LOL. anyway, I see one of these skags going through my camera bag where I had my money to pay them.......I caught her red-handed taking out 20,000 baht, but it was 3-against-1 and remember, despite the fact they look like girls they can fight like the men that they are. But i wasn't about to give in; after a lot of yelling and screaming and my friends Sonya and Am joined us,some serious brawling went on and the cops came and hauled us all down to the station in a pick-up truck. bottom line; they believed my story and I got the 20K back. so total losses in 6 years of travel; 300 baht to some yabaa-addicted ho on Sukhimvit.
How common is this? I have never once had a ladyboy take money from my pants, my wallet, drawers, etc, but lately I have been hearing more about others who have. any similar stories?
