A friend reports visiting a Sunne Plaza nitespot well known to us.

This is a farang who really should know better but he found himself surrounded by the bar boys-as one does..nothing wrong there but upon leaving the place discovered five minutes later that 15000 baht had been removed from his back pocket.

You can't really blame these lads-although some will and would no doubt be furious..me being one, but it does show you should always secure your cash. You are in a country where most people are desperate and will resort to anything for a few baht. let alone a large stash.

After-all-they probably learnt from the West.
