There will always be people who steal from others. There will always be people from whom things are stolen. The darkroom at Freeman is, sadly, no exception. My advice is simple. If you are going to Freeman's darkroom be prepared for the possibility of attempted theft. This means don't take a wallet or a phone and only have some small cash in your pocket. 500 and 1000 Baht notes should be placed in your shoes under the soles of your feet. I know this may seem like giving in to the scumbags who steal but to me it's just being realistic. Then you'll be able to kick back and enjoy your experience without constantly worrying about being robbed.
