You're an honest and a respectable gentleman 🙏 You don't have to be ashamed of telling the truth, scamers exist in every country in the world, bad people come in all colors and ethnicities, sadly. You're doing an amazing job to promote Thailand and Bangkok specifically 👏 keep up the good work

Thank you! One thing to add about the jet ski scam... they will put temporary paint and when you go off riding, the water will wash away that paint and expose damage. So my personal opinion is to not ride jet ski in Thailand at all.

Omg!! 😮that’s terrible

Apart from the scams, I found Thailand very amazing. Thais in general are very welcoming and as a solo woman traveller, I felt very safe.

This guy is awesome & honest that really cares about his country & just wants people to have a good time in his country

I used Grab during my stay in Bangkok. I felt safer using the grab application rather than getting in a conventional taxi

Grab can cost more then taxi..one time Grab quote 130 thb but metered taxi only cost 70+ thb

As a Thai citizen I feel shameful about these kind of people !!! I think this would be good info for all foreigners that going to Thailand :-)

As a Thailand Loving Tourist, from Germany, spending so far quite a year in Thailand at around 20 Visits, i want to say that i got only one time scammed a little Bit. So Thai people are way more fair and friendly to tourists than any other country in my opinion. I happily spend some Money in Thailand and i am grateful to be Welcome in your country 🙏

It's not a Thai thing. Scammers, thieves, bad people exist everywhere. there are WAY MORE good people in Thailand than bad people

I’ve been in a taxi in Bangkok that every time he pressed the horn the meter went up 50 baht. When we stopped I reached over and pressed the horn a few times. I told him I’m calling the police and only paid for half the meter cost.

Good tip 💡

My friends and I had been scammed by a taxi driver and his gang at the Damnoen Saduak floating market. We were charged 2000 Baht per person for the boat ride and the boat driver keep stopping at every shop along the way and make complaint to his friend when we didn't buy anything during the boat trip. We even had to push him to send us back to the boat station after we knew that we had been scammed. On the way back, I complaint to the Taxi driver but he act stupid saying he didn't know them.

Worth watching. Very informative. Thank you, Mr Chon 😊

I am delighted to see an honest video from a Thai gentleman. I ❤️Thailand and it’s people but, yes, you have got to be aware of scams, constantly. There is good and bad everywhere. First visit to Thailand I fell for the TukTuk scam, I have been back many times but have never fallen for a scam since. I love the country so much that I am moving to Bangkok in 2024. 🇮🇪

Hi Chon Thank you very much. I saw lot of your videos before my Thailand trip. I just returned back home with a wonder memory. You have been such a saviour. It saved me lot of money and have a safe and successful trip.

Thank you, Mr. Chon for your tips and advice.

Thank you for your kindness to share, we as tourist appreciate it a lot. You're a great content creator. Keep it up!

Some of my friends had experienced some of those scams, this video is really helpful, thank you so much friend

Appreciate your honesty and courage to share this with us. Khob khun krub!

Thx mate, again Sean, great info, cheers

Thanks so much for the tips. You are a great person to do this content.

Thank you for your honest advise.

Very useful information, great sharing! ^^

Been to the grand palace twice, both times, folks outside said “there is a monk ceremony and it’s closed until noon, but will take me all over”. Seemed like a good deal. However when my thia wife showed up, they just walk away. Second time I had a whole group with me, and wife showed up 8 mins later, I could see there disappointment. The tour guide I got was amazing though right outside the gate.

P'chon, you deserve more than just a simple like, your honesty about the real situation that sometimes happens in bangkok is commendable!Thanks for sharing..

Love your channel! Found it while looking up current rates of tourist SIM-cards :) You give really great advice for newbies to Thailand. I am a foreigner myself, but I have lived, studied and worked quiet some years in Thailand. Sometimes, people in tourist locations still try to scam me. It's actually funny if you start speaking thai to them then. They will stop immediately and sometimes even say that they are sorry. Actually, I even met nome really nice scammers that just try to make a living. Thailand is sometimes even lovely when people try to scam you :)

Great videos!! Especially that you as a Thai share this video with us. :)

Thank you very much for the information🙏🙏🙏, I am visiting Thailand in January

Excellent, shoan, as a citizen you explain it very simple and not harming to, who involving bad things. Very much appreciate your programs. Thank you, hopping to visit in Bangkok early March this year.

TQ for people like you. It gives hope to humanity.

Thanks for the informative video!

Thanks for telling. Keep up the good work. As gentle as you are, a lot of tourists will take your advice travelling to and through Thailand and they get there real experience. More than once, thank you.

Great information. I'm planning a trip there soon. Thank you!

Thanks for the advice. Got taken 'for a ride' by a taxi driver once when I asked him to take me to the Hard Rock Cafe. He drove me around for over an hour and when I complained, he said he didn't know where it was. I just got out of the taxi and gave him the $800 that was on the meter. Really left a bad taste in my mouth and never use taxis in any country if I can avoid it.

Me and my friend got into the palace scam about 10 year ago when travel to bangkok. Exactly what you said! Thank you for sharing the tips allow more tourist to be aware 🙏

Thanks for the info. We'll be heading there on March. Quite excited since it's our first time.

Really you have my attention and full respect for warning tourists for the scams problems i feel Happy when i Visit thailand because i love thai culture thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Man of honor, hope you stay safe! 👍🏼

Respect Man. Keep up the good work. Thailand is actually a beautiful place but alot of people want to make money in any way and means. Even the foreigner who is living there.

Thank you so much for give us advices about avoiding scams in Thailand. I always flight to Thailand. As you said there're good n bad people. I almost got scammed by tuktuk. He tried to recommend me and my mom to jewelry shop, but luckily mom didn't want to go as she wanted to shopping at Central world mall. But there are also good tuktuk drivers. They are so kind n respectful as well.After watched your video, I got good advices and I will be more becareful for my next trip. I really appreciated you so much 🙏

Thanks Chon !

Seems we were quite lucky when we took a taxi to our hotel in Bangkok. I approached a Taxi and asked how much it is to our hotel. We then agreed on a price and he drove us there (he first stopped at the wrong place, as he mistook the hotel for another one, but then still drove us to our hotel and only asked for the price we agreed on), but other than that we just took the BTS skytrain 😁 thanks for this interesting video, it's definitely good to know what to watch out for

Thankyou very good tips..

Thank you for the information

Also, let me add my advice that is valid for every place in the world. If you realize you have been scammed or are about to be scammed: Don't get angry and start swinging your fists. It will not solve anything and is guaranteed to get you into a lot of trouble. Not only will the scammers have a bunch of friends nearby, but the police will arrest you as well. Just don't do it. I live life the same way I drive a car: defensively. And it really works.

Hi Chon, thanks for this vdo. And you don't have to be ashmed of anything, you are doing a very good job by informing ppl to be aware of possible problems they might fall for. ❤ From your Indian friend.😊😊

Thank u for that info

Thanks for your video friend, I should have seen this video in 2015 :D . I visited Thailand in 2015, and I met with a Tuk Tuk scammer when I went to Grand Palace. He charged me about 500 Bahts from Pratunam market to Grand Palace but he dropped me off before Grand Palace and asked me about another 100 bahts to take me in front of the entrance. I was scared of him and traveled alone to Thailand. That's why I decided to drop and apologize him that I didn't have enough money and to take 45bahts instead of 100bahts. Then I took a taxi when I back to Hotel, the taxi driver charged me only 200 bahts. That Tuk Tuk was a bad experience for me in Thailand. But some people are so kind and helped me a lot in my visit.

Thanks so much Brother.
