Bus from Krabi to Bangkok, values stolen
Monday, 20 April 2009

Went from Krabi to Bangkok with a VIP Bus with my boyfriend on the 2nd of January 2009. I don't remember the name of the agency , where we bought the tickets, but we were waiting for the bus at "Guitar Tours", where it was already strange, because they were obviously lying to us, about "no break during the trip to Bangkok", so they wanted us to buy sandwiches and stuff..and after a strange first bus-ride, in which some of us even had to take their bags inside the bus, because there was not enough space inside the luggage-room they stopped after a few hours somewhere, where we had to sign our names (which was again just a reason for the passangers to go to the placeand buy some food) we had to change the bus..Nobody was replying to any questions.Not even in Thai. They were just turnig around and ignoring all the questions...Then somewhen of course everybody felt asleep...When we arrived at Khao San Road, we first didn't noticed anything, as it seems like all our stuff was there (I had my valuables under my seet between my legs, covered with a blanket and I checked it a few times, and everything was there, I thought....) We felt pretty dizzy and sleepy but of course that's no wonder after such a long busride..At home we slept for a few hours and felt really strange after waking up..sick and like as if somebody has drugged us(I took Tramal/Tramadol once, when I had the worst pain in my back, and this is really like a drug, makes you high and sleepy and gives you a weird feeling and the next day you feel exactly the same..)..I wanted to pay the rent and realized, that all my money was gone ...(13000Baht..I know I know I shouldn't have had that much money with me anyways, that was foolish, but we had to get some money, and as we had to pay the rent for our appartment right after our arrival and the fees for taking money from the ATM are so high I just took so much money...) Everything else was there, camera, passport...

The weirdest thing is..we didn't get any food or drinks of them, we only had our own food and drinks with us...So we can't explain, how somebody could have drugged us..

So If anyone, who's reading this experienced something similar and knows an explanation or even somebody was on the same bus and is also missing things, please let us know.

I am very sorry to read what happen to you Katharina, and of course I don't know exactly how they did it, but since I read already a few stories about scams here is my suggestion:
did the bus had air con? maybe some gas came through the airconditioner which let you feel drugged?
But I don't know how the staff managed in this case not to be drugged...(maybe open driver window?!)
