Sukhumvit warning

[Urethroscope]

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an experience I had last night while walking between Asoke and Nana in Bangkok. I was accosted by a ladyboy who unexpectedly reached around my neck, and I felt fumbling with the clasp on my gold chain.

Thankfully, I had recently seen a YouTube video from FredBundyTravel of him being robbed in the same manor. I quickly grabbed my chain and pushed her away, managing to avoid any trouble.

I'm not new to Bangkok but it was a surprising moment, that reminded me to be aware of my surroundings. Has anyone else had similar experiences in Bangkok?

Stay safe out there!

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always good to hear about real encounters like this, as it helps keep others informed. I've been to Sukhumvit a few times and have heard about similar incidents, especially around the busy areas like Nana and Asoke. It’s always a good idea to stay aware, especially with how fast things can happen. I’d also recommend securing valuables or keeping them out of sight when in crowded places—better safe than sorry! Anyone else had to deal with situations like this?

I've never had problems like this but I tend not to wear any jewelry or carry my wallet when out and about.
