Advice, Do NOT stop and talk to anyone approaching in the street in Thailand,, once you stop , you are already 50% fallen into their trap

Worst scam is when they tell you the Grand Palace or certain temples are "closed" and they can take you to other temples and usually a store the scammer is connected to via an overpriced tuk tuk.

There is business TukTuk in Thailand here that make a deal with shops to take foreigners to them and the driver get extra money from shops. Normally this not extra charge for the foreigners but it wastes the time so just avoid it

That's painful to watch. Newbies: ANYTIME you are getting time pressure and other kinds of pressure ("but today special day!!") from a tout, it's bad news. Touts in general are bad news. Just say "mai ao khap/ka" and walk away. Does it make sense that they're getting so excited over charging you 20 baht? No it doesn't, obviously. They're getting excited for the kickback money they'll get from the shops they're going to drag you to that you don't want to go to.

I've travelled all around the world. I've always stayed at quality hotels. Pretty nice hotels around $50/night in places like Bangkok, Siem Reap, Beijing and Cairo to name a few. When I wanted go sightseeing with a guide or required transportation I made arrangements through the hotel. I usually paid a little more ($3 to $5) but it was worth not dealing with the hassle and/or getting scammed. It also helps if one becomes familiar with the public transportation system. Trains of Germany, subways of Moscow, and city rail systems of Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

As a Thai people. I hate people like this. Sometime I think I want to take tourists to travel by myself. or travel by my own car.

Sorry to those tuk-tuk driver who are sincere and honest, but as a foreigner we just want to have good memories during the travel, not bad memories or even worst was end up in police station to log scammer report or settle the dispute with those "police".

mind you I am not a thai, but I go to bangkok every year , after understanding the dark side, take a detour and find other ways to get around, you will see the more friendly side of the Thai people.....feel for yourself friends and be safe

Bottom line in Thailand is..... if someone tries really hard to sell you something. Dont buy it. Buy things on your terms and dont trust everyone you meet.

All these are scams...basically, they get you into a cheap tuk tuk and take you to a number of shops "for looking". The shops pay the tuk tuk a commission - after 30-40 minutes of being dragged around to places you don't want to go, you finally arrive at your destination. Just get a metered taxi and insist they turn on the meter.

Do not entertain them! If somebody come up from somewhere and talk to you, just smile but don’t talk to them. Once you talk to them they won’t let you go until they get what they want.

When I went to Bangkok, we did ended up in little scams here and there. But yeah, we didn't say much. What's funny is when people see the cameras and they don't mind that they're scamming people. They don't realize they'd be forever on the internet as SCAMMERS. I just hope you didn't experience anything like this in the Philippines as well. Scammers can be everywhere, wherever you go in the world. But thanks for sharing this experience.

You never take TukTuk in Bangkok. They generally charge significantly higher than the taxi and being white does not help just like being Asian in Europe. Notice Thais rarely take Tuktuk? You always do what the locals do in order to get the cheapest price. This includes taking you to massage parlor and silk shops. They are always making commission just like the Las Vegas Taxi driver to take you to places where juices are offered to them. All of them in the world are the same. Use public transportation and you'll be fine. It used to be alot worse when we had to negotiate with the taxi before the meter being installed. We are talking about 30 years ago. I hated Khaosan road since this is where the seediest place in Bangkok with poor tourists. Go to place where wealthier tourist hang out for the best value items. Do the 5 star travel like the Oriental of Bangkok for once in a lifetime experience.

As a Thai i tired of these scammers 😅

Although being overcharged a dollar here and there is unavoidable when travelling S.E.A - The best thing to do is always avoid people who APPROACH YOU uninvited. "Yes my friend" "Hey you" "where are you going"

Besides that avoid tour from locals shop, nowdays we have super equipment we always brought along, called smartphone, just reserved tour, taxi, everything from reliable applications, your holiday will be heaven, have try this and believes me it's all better than going out from hotel to local shop for tour just to get chances for you to get scammed.

Hi guys! Just avoid eye contacts and walk as if you are on a catwalk, don't say hi and don't smile, and I promise no tuk tuk will ever approach you, well at least they won't walk up to you!!!

Negotiate a decent price for a tuk tuk ride once to experience a tuk tuk, then never take one again. They're all rip-offs unless you're with a Thai person who can normally get a good price.

What if i just ignore them even without smiling? Will they call cops or something? I just can't fake smile - I'm a finnish guy.

As a Victorian Gothic, I was confused. Why every time I go to the beach most people always look at me with a strange look? I always wear long black dresses even to the beach, is that wrong? I don't like just wearing a bikini or a swimsuit. Some people ask me "Why are you wearing a long black dress to the beach?" This question is ridiculous to me. Honestly, I like Thai beaches because they are nice and the food there is a lot of good. Overall I like Thailand, but please don't tell me to wear a bikini or swimsuit when I'm at the beach.

Legitimate Thai people don’t “approach” you… “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

We also got scammed the same way and ended up paying for an overexpensive trip... We don't know what to do. The tourism police won't help us. If you have any recommendations, please feel free to comment them.

Best avoid is dnt talk to anyone, even he/she looks like tourist, and ask for help, i lost 300 dollars inside 7 eleven store. And they usually follow people from currency exchange points.

sO basically, Thailand is full of scummy scammers? I'm here now for work and regretting coming. If honest. Been scammed in various ways already. One was a local old bloke who i began chatting to while i was cleaning my clothes. Anyway, I nodded at him and smiled as he walked past. then he came and sat and talked. He seemed genuine. Anyway, he said he'd show me around. So the next day he did. Took me to his local area near Khao San road. A little river area with food vendors. Only locals. As we walked there. My phone went missing... I NEVER LOSE ANYTHING. EVER. Anyway i panicked and walked back about 1000 metres to try to retrace my phone. Then i walked back to the guy and he was on his phone saying he rang my phone and a guy had it. And guess what...the guy did. Alarm bells rang in my head but i have benefit of doubt. Anyway, I sat and we spoke and he then asked me to buy the guy who found my phone drinks. Oh I also noticed my bank card was the wrong way in my waller and my ID was the wrong way also... Anyway back to point, i bought him 2 coffees and his friends 2 beers and i had a bottle of water. I then asked for the bill and it came in at 550 bhat. That's when it clicked that i was being scammed. I then got up, paid and told him to not contact me again. Then rang him not long after telling him how bad this looks for thai people. Oh and today my card wouldnt work.... he emptied my account. Luckily i drip money from my paypal into it so i only had a few hundred in (ill get recovered from bank). But it only clicked today when i used my card and it got declined. And I was FUMING. I have the guys number so i might set up a sting with the police to get him arrested and charged. Or I might meet him and give him a jab to the throat. I've not decided yet. I will tomorrow when i am less angry. But so far, I am not a fan of Bangkok at all. The people are scum so far.

Yes, just ignore these guys. Just walk on by. They go to where the first-time and one-time tourists go. Since the Grand Palace is a must-see, they tend to be most numerous there, and the two ends of Khao San Road are also natural spots for them. Bangkok gives Paris a run for the money when it comes to scammers.

Kho san Rd was really a place to see twenty years ago, It looks so empty of tourists, I guess post covid doesn’t help

They will ask for more of you go with them

super cheap! 60 baht to go to all those places! tuk tuk is always overprice even for thai people, Nowadays we normally take electric tuktuk safe and fun and fair price it is call MUVMI.

I love Thailand and lived there for about 20 years....running a little beach bar...lived the dream....I was ripped off at least once a week....staff...Police...local council members...etc etc etc....every fuckin scam under the sun......it wore me down so much that I jumped ship.......

You will end up stopping at many tailor shops and jewellery shops and told just to have a look because they get a kickback just by taking you there plus a commission if you buy something.

Thank you for your shearing
