Drugged and robbed by Pattaya hookers

Walking Street Pattaya

Mango Sauce reader, Richard, explains how he was drugged, robbed and left for dead by two Pattaya hookers. Accosting him on the street, they lured him back to his hotel room with the promise of free sex. He learnt the hard way that nothing is free in Pattaya.

I was in Thailand on a 9 week holiday and had been up in Chiang Mai and the remote Acha villages near Burma and Chiang Rai for most of the time. Feeling pretty relaxed, I felt that I could drop my guard a little.

I ending up in Pattaya for the very first time (and this is before I ever tried ladyboys). I was enjoying the free and easy attitude towards sex but was getting bored with the decision of who to choose next.

One night, just 3 days before I had to return home, I was making my way down Walking Street when 2 women approached me. They told me that they worked in a shoe factory and had saved for 4 years to take this holiday in Pattaya. They said that they did it to meet a farang.

They had to go back to work the next day and had not met a farang so all they wanted now was to have sex with one before they went back. For some reason, this made sense to me.

I took these 2 ladies back to my room. They had been drinking a little and brought out some Chiclets - saying that they were to freshen their breath. They kept offering them to me and would not let me refuse. I don't drink or smoke myself so I was becoming a bit concerned about their aggressive behavior.

One stripped and got on the bed and wanted to play - but with no penetration. The other went into the bathroom. At this time, their actions started to become sly and aggressive. The one that went into the bathroom came back out with a towel around herself. The first one jumped off the bed and the one with the towel jumped on and got on top of me. I thought I could smell something in the towel.

Instantly a thought shot through my mind - I could die right here right now and no one would ever know. Then, the light in the room became as bright as I have ever seen and, suddenly, everything went black.

I regained conscious 24 hours later. I was sick for 2 days, cramped up in a foetal position. I made a report to the police but nothing came of it.

When I met these women, we first walked down to the docks where they used to have a shrine of sorts, covered with phallic symbols. It has since been removed. Anyway, while we were there, another woman approached and spoke to them in Thai. While they were talking, a Thai man standing there started frantically waving his hands and repeating "no no no." They ignored him.

Two days after the assault against me, I passed this woman on the Beach Road. She had a smug smile on her face as she passed me. I had been set up and I knew that she had organized it but there was nothing I could do.

When they robbed me, they left me with 80 baht for a bus out of town, my passport and my airline ticket. The whole reason I went with them was because I thought that it would be exciting to get sex for free in Pattaya. I was so wrong. Nothing is free in Pattaya.

Visitors to Thailand should always keep their wits about them - particularly if they indulge in the naughty nightlife. Thai prostitutes normally play by the rules but there are some very nasty exceptions.

Richard,

You appear to have been seriously duped by two high class slick hustlers with a lust for the cash of a young go-getter. Look on the bright side - at least you didn't wake up with your underpants on back to front. I feel that the two young scallywags in question deserve some respect as they were decent enough to leave your passport, tickets and bus money. In fact, they appear to have bigger minerals than you my fellow - when you later passed one of the funky money hungry grifters on the street you should have done the right thing and broke her fucking jaw.

Your story leads me to the conclusion that you may be a bit of a strange chap based on the following equation:-

tee-totaller+non smoker+ladyboyupthearsepooperpumper=wierd cat.

The next time you go to Thailand for a holiday, please take my advice and try to take a friend (or your mother if you don't have any) to look after you. Remember the old adage - "don't try and get a free ride with two psychotic boggle eyed ladyboys who tell you that they want to have your babies"

I hope my advice shall be of some help in the future.

Best regards,

George

There were reported cases in the late 90's where Pattaya tarts would smear sleep-inducing chemicals on their nipples take the opportunity to rob their comatose clients.

Man, this topic attracts so much uninformed bollocks, you need wellingtons to get through it.

Firstly, there are no *easily* made drugs that are so potent that you ingest enough to become completely incapacitated by licking a girls nipples.

Pure LSD in liquid form would have the potency but you'd be jumping of the balcony or running down the hall screaming long before it got to wallet-snatching time. By this time, the last thing you'd be worried about is your wallet anyway - heh

Then there's the question of how to girl might discretely apply this herself, wait for it to dry and keep it in place long enough (with clothing rubbing against it and so on) for you to even start sucking her tits.

This doesn't even consider the fact that a strong aquareous LSD solution might enter the bloodstream through the skin and she'd end up in a worst state than you.

Besides, this ain't meth, you can't make it in your garden shed:

I'd like to see a couple of Pattaya bar girls following those instructions.

Moving on from the 'Nipples' BS then there's regular date rape drugs like Gamma-Hydroxybutyerate and Rohypnol, both act within 10 - 30 minutes and are pretty tasteless.

Both are easily administered in drinks and are the usual culprits. Easy rule here - drink bottled beer in the bars and leave the mini-bar alone when you take her back to the hotel. After all, you took her there to fuck her, not to make cocktails didn't you?

Other barbiturates and depressents will have a similar effect but take longer to act but the main point is that the critical juncture here is getting them in ya drink, so be aware, stick with the bottled beer and if you are routinely getting so arseholed that you are falling victime to this, then you're a stupid cunt to begin with.

As far as smelling weird stuff on a towel is concerned, as described by one contributor above. Possible but unlikely, it is possible to cook up chloroform using acetone-based nail varnish remover and chlorine bleach but it ain't easy and you need an ice bath and a vacuum still. Ether is even harder to make. Neither would normally induce the extended disorientation and stomach cramps described above.

Smarter men than me have been rolled by freelancers. They don't need no drugs, just fuck you and wait for you to fall asleep, simple as that.

Easy ways around this:

PAY THE BAR FINE. Gives some comeback, not much but some.

Security at your hotel should take her ID card and only give it back when she has left the room and they have phoned to check everything is fine. If they don't do this regularly tell them you want it done.

She showers first and everything but the LT fee goes in the in-room safe. No in-room safe? Lock everything in your luggage and secure it with a padlock to something solid.

Paranoia is your friend.

If katoeys are your thing fine but they are notorious for their tricks PLUS they have a man's strength.

Some of what Paul says is correct (the LSD stuff) but the biggest inaccuracies I had to correct. Both cholorform and either are common organic solvents. There is no need to cook them up and therefore they are not harder to make. They are already made, the girls just needed to get some soaked into the towel. A 100 mls would be enough to knock you out if applied with force to your nose for a minute or two. Both solvants are easy to come by actually because they are used in all kinds of industrial activites from dying to plastics. Finally, these must have been two stout lady boys because two thai ladies could not hold a man down long enough to knock him out unless he was a wimp of a lad. Finally, I think they micked your drink and just used to towel as the coup de grace.

Cute story that should in effect be treated as a parable instead of looking for inconsistancies.

Leave the freelancers alone.

Stick with reliable bars.

Fancy a LB? There are plenty of places that specialize (Like Obsessions in Nana)

Don't be a wanker. Go have fun and treat people with respect. Be generous! after all the extra 5-10 euros aint gonna kill ya.

Paul says:

Actually, I am not sure I typed anything inaccurate. Chloroform and Ether are relatively difficult to make (though not as hard as LSD for sure). What I didn't account for was how readily available these solvents might be in Thailand vis-a-vis the West, thus invalidating the need to try and make them at all :)

I spent 8 months in Pattaya and never locked up my money. I never had a single problem. I met lots of fabulous people and made a load of friends. Please treat all the Thai people with respect and you will be treated with respect. They are generally a lot more honest than westerners. Having said that, develop a nose for criminality and avoid it, just as you would at home. The most common date rape drug is alcohol.

I just shot a documentary in Pattaya this past summer about all the prostitution and crazy on-goings in Thailand. I profiled a couple friends as they went around Pattaya endulging in all the night life has to offer. One ended up dead, another missing, and I barely survived an ordeal where we all got drugged and robbed. If your interested got to www.myspace.com/laststopbeforehell ...The film hasn't been released yet but the site will update you when it is...

Pants Elk says:

Tom, I had a look at the link you post. It's a little difficult to read because of the, er, "over-enthusiastic" design, but forgive me if I remain a little suspicious of this "documentary" for a while.

One dead.
One missing.
And you escape with the film!!!!

"Crazy goings on" indeed!!!!!

I notice there's a reference to the Blair Witch Project on your page. That had a "documentary" feel, too - something the producers were clever enough to exploit by encouraging an underground rumor that what we saw on the screen was actually, really, happening.

Like your movie?

(If I've been too untrustworthy and cynical, please bear in mind these are deep-rooted character traits, and I ask for your "endulgence".)

I wish your Pattaya Hell Project well!

From Tom`s website:
"A CRIME RING IN WHICH PROSTITUTES DRUG, KIDNAP, AND TORTURE TOURISTS."

Yeah, right. Hands up, who was tortured by a Thai BG? (Other than financially, of course.)

Treat the bar girls with a bit of respect and you will get a lot more back. If you act like a prick you will get treated like one.
Sure there is some bitches out there who will rip you off the same way as there is some bastard farangs who will treat the girls like shit.
You are in Pattaya to enjoy yourself yet some folk treat it like urban warfare.

I was in Phuket, Thailand last year. One morning, at the resort we were staying at, a caucasian male (I believe he was from Norway) was cowering in the corner of the hotel lobby. He was in shorts and a t-shirt, shivering, and looking very frightened. When some of his approached him to ask him what was wrong, he said he was robbed. Fortunately, he still had his cell phone with him. He showed us video he had taken with his cell phone of a Thai girl in the bar. When he looked at the video, it made him very scared. We came to the conclusion that she drugged him and robbed him of everything he had. There was a bit of a communication barrier because he did not speak English very well. A lot of the hotel workers acted like this was a normal occurence, which it probably is.

"A lot of the hotel workers acted like this was a normal occurence, which it probably is."

Let me guess. Were they smiling? Perhaps sneering? Or you weren't sure if it was one or the other or both. Or were they looking mid distance vacantly. Maybe a more considerate member of staff offered him the tiny glass of oversugared fruitjuice decorated with an orchid they usually give you upon arrival.
