fygjam Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 https://www.clothingarts.com/products/pickpocket_proof_adventure_travel_shorts US based but looks like they will ship international. I was pick pocketed once. Little old lady on the baht bus 2nd Road. All she got was a squashed pack of L&M with about 5 smokes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 What I do is to put my wallet in the front pocket of my shorts then twist the pocket through 180 deg. Your leg keeps it in place. But good to know. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'd always carry my stuff in a bumbag which I'd keep my hands over when traveling close to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangsom Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Once got done for about €200 on the paris metro. No idea how it happened as I’m usually pretty vigilant with hands in pockets etc 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Only once have I ever had anyone try to get into my pockets (unless I wanted them to). The only time was an African ho on Soi 4 near Nana. I almost broke her hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillearly Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Lost my wallet once in Patong , it was at stupid o'clock .. was more concerned about the wallet itself than the contents ( with would have been minimal at that time ) , it was a really nice Paul Smith and think was discontinued at the time , so I couldn't replace it ..

Nightcrawler Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Never been robbed or pick pocketed in all my years in Thailand Once, when fairly drunk, I left my wallet on a bar top in Diana after.paying my bill. It wasn't until I returned to my hotel, that I realised I had no wallet. I knew I must have had it up to my last bill but could not not remember which bar it was. I started sobering up rather quick as I knew I must have had at least 10k. With luck I found the bar I was last at. When I arrived, the girls were smiling and the girl I had been talking to said "you forget something"?. She handed me my wallet. Didn't expect that. So I bought the girls in the bar a drink and when I went to pay, no money had been taken during my absence. If I had not been known to them as a previous customer, maybe they would have waited and shared it, who knows? These days, more concerned about my own stupidity than dishonesty. I keep my wallet in a zipped compartment in Cargo shorts. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
