The Pattaya Police are doing a crackdown gold snatchers and thief that snatch god and bags from Tuk Tuks. Tourists feel safe in a Tuk Tuk but many cases of necklaces snatching from the outside of the car while moving has proven otherwise. Since many people are aware of the thief’s they do not flash gold chains in public anymore but the thief’s have started to snatch from tourists on moving cars.
Anybody who catches a snatcher will get a reward of 2000 THB and the Pattaya Police are hoping that motorbike taxi and Tuk Tuk drivers will help catch the thief’s.
The ironic part is that many of the taxi drivers are snatchers themselves, when they not drive a motorbike they snatch bags and gold.
When traveling in Pattaya do not flash your gold or leave your bag unattended even in the day time.
