Our experience not an opinon.Be warned that some Asian men will sneakily photo your daughters and wife as you lie on your loungers wearing your bikinis.They do this walking past using small photo phones and other devices. They also ask if you would take a photo of them on the beach and suddenly coerce your daughter or wife joining them with their arm around them! Give em the gypsys warning or head butt them as I was fed up with this happening on a daily basis.What is annoying is some European women actually pose in page 3 style for them! Also it is a sham that topless bathing is prohibited we saw several mammaries on Baga beach and by middle age Brits.Not a pretty sight.Asian males apparently are not allowed to use shack toilets if they don't use their bar/restaurant so be prepared for them peeing everywhere.Within the markets are several scams as mentioned but I actually caught an Asian lassy trying to pickpocket my back pack. I caught her by the wrist and shouted THIEF wherupon she was slapped around the face by several stall holders! Goan justice?
