Pattaya - Russian scammers

[sugardaddy0511]

Hi . I had a couple of near miss from scammers , both Russian in Pattaya last week . I don’t think this is Pattaya specific so may be helpful for others . First scam , matching on tinder and the girl suggested meet at a particular restaurant on walking street with shisha , luckily I checked the reviews and there were report of exorbitant bill at end of the evening. So always choose your place for the date if meeting on tinder . Second scam , 2 Russian girls offered to meet for 4000 Bhats asking for room no of the hotel , I met them on reception and they had to leave their passport on reception. In the room they wanted the payment first . I refused and they left with taxi money . This was clearly a scam as all the WhatsApp messages were deleted in seconds . Also , be aware of the lady boys , they are very aggressive. I had a lovely time with a Thai lady and think 🤔 they are genuinely amazing 🤩

Care to expand on what was the situations where you experienced very aggressive ladyboys?

I have literally had hundreds of interactions with Thai ladyboys in Pattaya and not once had one which is aggressive.
They are just like every other Thai (male, female or trans), treat them with respect, that things are fun and easy and you will be fine. Publicly embarrass them (make them 'lose face') or introduce aggression and you quickly find out about it.

I’ve never had a problem with LBs just smile and treat them with respect and you want have a problem, pretty much like everything in Pattaya.
Act like a twat and you’ll wake up with a sore head

Payment first isn’t uncommon…

I met them on reception and they had to leave their passport on reception.

This is a pro-move, well done!
 

In the room they wanted the payment first. I refused and they left with taxi money.

Not obvious why this is a scam - did you sense a flight risk? Or threat to person?
 
The fact that they registered their passport at the reception makes them more credible actually.

The ladyboy attacked a Thai girl with me without any provocation. I was not sure if he was a boy or girl and the girl with me confirmed that he was a ladyboy so they got upset . As far as the Russians , they were scammers for sure . If anyone wants go to tinder and look for a profile by the name Marina 34
