Reasons I'm Getting Sick of Bangkok

number 10 - because someone tried to rob me on the street today >.A preface first: if you look like a tourist here, people will approach you on the street and try to sell you things, like a tuk-tuk ride or cheap knockoff whatevers. Usually they're harmless and easy to brush off politely or just ignore. As I was walking back from the grocery store

Gods... that's horrible! I'm glad you are safe and your valuables are intact.

Next time, SPINNING BACKHAND (or just a knee to the groin).

it was definitely a wakeup call. time to be more paranoid (and work on my kick-backwards-at-the-person-crouching-behind-me reflexes).

Oh dear. I'm glad that you're OK!

[chalavienne]

heh thanks - it was unsettling but i'm cool now.

You have foiled their evil, evil plan! Congratulations! And now, in addition to your existing anti-theft precautions, you can be motivated to work on your reflexes too. :)
