Re: Pattaya
Watch out for LB pickpockets!
Was riding a baht bus when a LB gets on and sits next to me on my left. He moves right close to me and has a file or something that he uses to cover up the space between him and me. Suddenly I feel someone trying to wiggle something out of my left front pants pocket. I look over at him and see his right arm on his lap. Can’t see his left arm. Finally I move a little to the side and look down at the seat between us and notice a tissue lying there, which he had pulled from my pocket. He sees me looking at it and seems to get nervous.
I thought maybe someone on the road had tried to pickpocket me. But later it dawned on me that he must have put his left arm behind his back and reached over and tried to pull what he thought was my money or wallet out of my pocket. He must have been really dextrous. I had heard of gangs of LBs pickpocketing passengers on baht buses but never suspected a sole operator!
