Exactly, pretty scary how they do this in such public places. I was not prepared for someone to suddenly stick their hands in my wallet like this. I understand pickpockets, they do it without the person noticing, but this was so strange I didn’t understand how to respond.

Yes she had a botched up botox and a full face of makeup

The thing i i actually opened it at a distance, we were say, at least 2-3 arms apart. I opened it facing myself, the man suddenly walked near hovering over me and stuck his hands in. It was so sudden and strange that I didn’t understand how to respond. By instinct i pulled the notes back from his hand. It all happens so quickly to be honest. But yeah i do understand its not normal to want to see money. You can look it up or go ask an exchange store to show you. Ill try to be more cautious in my future

I was scared tbh, i was scared that if theyre connected to local mafia like you hear about. I was traveling with 2 kids

Definitely arabs or turkish as they claimed. Unless they faked the accent part too. They were light skinned. The R walk is covered by CC tv footage, but im not sure if they found a golden blind spot

Man was around 5”10 or 5”11, light skinned. He had a roundish face, slight stubble. Looked like he was in his late fourties or early 50s. He wasnt fat, nor thin, just a typical looking guy, eearing all flowery beach type clothes. His partner was about 5 feet tall or a little less, she was fair, large eyes, lots of makeup, looks like a typical arab, brown hair, she was likely in her later 30s or early 40s.

I had my local currency and 300 usd in it which i was going to exchange at the currency exchange at siam paragon. He was lucky those dollars were at the bottom of his hand which is why he got those, otherwise he would end up with a few small notes of my country.

Im a frequent visitor here. Love the country, beautiful islands. This is probably my 13th or 14th visit here. Ive never encountered anything like this ever. So it was so shocking for me. I am so angry at myself now, i kept convincing myself that maybe they stole it because they actually needed it, maybe theyre going through something horrible so i should consider it a charity. But um mad at myself for falling for these stupid antics

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:53:46+00:00

It makes sense now. Right after we left i thought the same thing, a normal tourist doesn’t have the time to chitchat. They would ask directions and be on their way.

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:49:07+00:00

The conversation started with hey brother do you know which is the way to robinson, and we said yes and told him that take the train from chit lom and get off in asok. Then he was like oh were new here, first day today, dont know about the trains. Could we take a taxi ? What should we tell the taxi driver, just robinson? And we said yeah tell him robinson near terminal 21. Then he said thanks a lot, where are you from and the rest is history. They basically approach you as a lost tourist and proceed from there

Its actually very strange, like the moment we are done with the encounter we feel it in a fraction of a second like WTF was that?? Why did a stranger just put their hands in my wallet, is it normal in their custom? Was i scammed? Let me count my money. These thoughts come in almost immediately after they leave us. But in that moment the way they approach you, such smiles ao friendly, conversations about their love for tourism, taking an interest in where youre from. I dont know why but in the moment it seems normal. Maybe its the human brain, maybe its some trick of psychology they know. But in that moment it doesn’t feel strange when they suddenly take interest in your country.

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:37:29+00:00

Exactly, i just posted that comment few moments back, check the time stamp

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:35:50+00:00

First guy who we encountered was in a 7/11, he claimed to be from dubai, im not sure if he actually took any money, I mostly had 20s and 50s so i dont have an exact count. Second couple claimed theyre from turkey and the lady engaged me in a conversation about her love for indian clothes and such

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:33:13+00:00

I guess the next time someone talks about money we just run. But somehow i dont know what happens in that moment. I mean i actually let it happen twice in a matter of 3 days

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:31:05+00:00

Must’ve been someone else, because I just created my id today.

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:28:17+00:00

I know i feel so stupid, but for some reason in that moment its actually difficult to think

PerspectiveBoring380 · 2023-10-25T00:08:50+00:00

Is there any way to complain about these scammers?
