While busting counterfeiters, and confiscating counterfeit goods is what I consider "a necessary evil", I had to laugh when I read this article: This raid took place after complaints of sub-standard items being sold at the location along with allegations of shop vendors deceiving tourists who thought they were buying real branded items when in fact they were buying counterfeit goods.Who goes to the scuzzy booths on the beach side of Mike's Shopping Mall, and sees a $750 Luis Vuitton shoulder bag selling for $10, and thinks that it might be real? Are people really that dumb? Do they think that Dolce Gabbana tops sell for $3... even if off-season, discounted, and cut label? And then to "complain about the quality"? Give me a break.
You know, it is entirely possible that if there was ever a contest among the vacation destinations of the world to find out which place attracts the dumbest tourists, Pattaya really could win.
