Popular Post Butch Posted May 26 Popular Post Posted May 26 I arrived at by hotel yesterday at around 6pm, and headed out into town around 7. While walking in treetown, 2 Indian guys on a moped approached and stopped, the guy on the back asking for directions to a money changers. I pointed him to the tt on bukhao, literally about 20 yards away. He then opened his wallet asking if he could change dollars, showing me a wad of 100s and asked if they change USD as he's only just got into town and it's his first time. He then asked if I had any local money I could show him so he knows what it looks like. Now, I'm a peaceful and chilled bloke, but after a long flight with my foot giving me fucking gyp for some odd reason (turns out I've got "turf toe" -Google it) my patience isn't going to be eternal, and it dawned on me this guy's game. I told him to get f***d and do one, and if he's got a problem I'll tell the treetown security guys too give him a fucking good leathering as one of them is my wife's brother ( that's bullshit btw,). They then rode off and I saw them again an hour later trying the same thing. If I see them tonight I'll try to grab a pic. Basically 2 fat Indian guys on a bike, ride wearing all black and black helmet, pillion dressed in white linen trousers, white shirt and a white hat. Looked like a fat matchstick basically. Keep a lookout guys. 1 1 3 6 1

Keep a lookout guys. I wonder if they are trying to launder fake currency? Or perhaps they dont have a valid passport to change money at a TT. 1
forcebwithu Posted May 26 Posted May 26 News report from last month about the scam. ‘Currency exchange’ thieves strike twice in Pattaya 1

Yessongs Posted May 27 Posted May 27 For sure, someone is not going to like these guys trying this shit and it man not end well for these ass-wipes. One going around here in Bangkok is they try to lure you into a speciality shop, try to convince you to buy these "high end" lotions and potions that will do wonders for you...saw a You Tube video some guy filmed. 1
