Going on holiday overseas is normally a joyous occasion but one always needs to be careful of potential pickpockets and scams.
A 25-year-old man who was filming his Bangkok trip gets robbed in less than 10 seconds after he was hugged by a ladyboy.
The incident happened at Sukhumvit Soi 21, which is a busy main street area and not some weird back alleys.
Soi 21 is near the business and shopping district but mixed in with red-light entertainment shops in the area.
In the video posted by the victim, A ladyboy suddenly hugged the man and she was seen trying to unchain his gold around his neck, no one noticed until it was too late.
He has since put up an appeal on the internet trying to get his gold chain back, but we all know that it is impossible that it will come back.
