fygjam Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 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
Lantern Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 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
galenkia Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 I'd always carry my stuff in a bumbag which I'd keep my hands over when traveling close to people.
Sangsom Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 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
Glasseye Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 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.
Stillearly Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 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, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 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
