    Tips to all travellers to avoid scams : Just ignore whoever approaches or wants to talk to you offering cheap service (bear in mind nothing is free or cheap)...if anyone wants any help on direction pls go to the tourist police...if scammers insist on giving you service. Just let them know that you are recording their conversations...then you gonna send the recordings to police...that will scare them off...

    A taxi driver said he didn't have change, told me to go inside the hotel to get change while he had my bags. I said no and he could come inside with me to get change at the front desk. We did and the guy at the front desk gave the taxi driver the filthiest looks as he knew the taxi driver was crooked after I explained why I needed change (which I had). Be aware, enjoy, but don't trust if you feel anxious

      @@phebranovack9747 i think so. this happened to me a lot when i was in high school and i have to take a taxi every day. most of the time i would say, "i will leave my backpack with you ok?, and i will get some change for you, pls wait.". now a day you can pay by phone, so it's really easy but I don't take a taxi anymore. anyway i think it's better to not trust anyone while traveling in any country.

    Simple advice. When exiting a popular entertainment/night spot and needing a taxi, do NOT take a taxi from the exit area but walk a bit away and flag down a moving taxi. Always have small money in hand as many taxi drivers will say they cannot break a Bht.1,000 note.

    if they walk straight at you, just say no or speak some Thai to them and walk pass them
    if they ask you some questions, just give them short answer (a few words) and walk quietly pass them

      ​@@goumuk we actually experienced the Jetski scam on our 10 day trip to Thailand 2 weeks ago. We rented Jetskis on the Samae Beach on Ko Lan island close to Pattaya. After 40 minutes my engine went off because it had not enough fuel. But much crazier was my friends Jetski, which just started filling with water and sinking down. After the owners picked us up from the water, they wanted 10.000 Baht from my friend, claiming he had damaged the Jetski because it sank and filled with water. After we refused to pay they called the police, which made my friend panic since he has heard a lot about corrupt police. He then managed to negotiate with them and eventually paid 5.000 Baht and left.
      Interestingly enough we were actually 9 people, 5 germans and 4 Thais, but they still pulled this scam through.

    I was in Thailand over the last 2 weeks and in my time in Bangkok I experienced the most scams 😂😂 I only went for 1 where we were sold 2 extra large juice for 200 baht. We definitely didn’t need to pay that much but we were tired and hot and had just came out of a tour at the Grand Palace.
    Another common scam was the floating market and temple tour on a long boat. Even though I didn’t a friend if mine fell for this scam and basically paid 1000 baht for a man walking up to the boat and trying to sell her figurines. Do yourself a favour and research before. I used google maps to get to all the places I wanted to go to I had no issues with signal or anything.
    Another scam is the Tuk Tuk drivers coming to you as you get off the ferry at the grand palace that the palace and Wat Pho are closed for prayer so rather go with them to see another temple. No they are open from 8:30/9 until 3:30/ 4pm I think. Just ignore rather ask google or follow the signs.

    Thx for the video.
    let a local add some tips.
    1.For transportations use BTS or MRT. For Taxi use Grab all the time.
    Avoid rush hour, you will always get a car with in a few minutes.
    For rush hour. Plan your trip in advance. Book a ride day before.
    note:Taxi have to use the meter for every single ride. It's illegal to not use it.
    To deny any ride also illegal.
    You can collect the evidences and complain to the police. The taxi will get fine 1000+ baht and/or license suspended for a month.
    For Tuktuk. Pray before get a ride.
    2. Every single penny for a beggar, You are supporting human trafficking. 99% of them came from a neighbor country run by local mafias.
    3. Every shops or food stalls have to show the price tags. It's illegal to not show the price tag.
    Avoid any place that not price tags.
    Avoid any bar or restaurant which is open but very few people in it when compare the surround places. Something fishy is going on.

    If you take a taxi or any other transport, you always ask the locals first!!!! Also be aware of people who come up to you, and start asking questions, like where are you from ,is it you're first time here, how long are you here? just don't be rude and listen to them and learn a bit. but just treat it like a joke. Than tell them, you know about the scams but want to know how the see life! Than (mostly) you'll see another guy, more honest and joking. Some times when I get bored and have this 'narrely' mood, I'll go to these huslers and act like a random tourist and joke with them. Sometimes they'll ask me out for a drink and meet there friend's of family 🤗 Otherwise,the poltite thing to say,is 'mai auw',kap!

    Had a great visit to Thailand 4 years ago, met some wonderful friendly people. Airport Taxi was a nightmare, bit of a wreck, was on a meter but the driver could hardly see, took ages to find the hotel, round and round in circles but eventually found it at my cost. May be I was overcharged in a Tuk Tuk at Chiang Mai but it was probably only a couple of pounds over so no great deal. Budget hotels were more than adequate and the street food was brilliant, going again soon so now know some of the scams which happen in all touristy places. You just have to be alert and halve the price they quote you as a barter start point, sawatdee krap.

    3 years ago when I was going from Bangkok to Pattaya with bus ticket seller wanted to scam me 200 bath, she said have no change please go inside bus and wait.I went inside bus. 5 minutes later bus driver was closing doors and I was without my change. So I told him wait a moment. Went to that women and asked loudly where is my change give it to me now! Guess what it took only few seconds to find the change.

    You should have said why you should have the money ready when in a Tuk Tuk ...... when you pay for your ride most off them never seem to have change so you can either give them a nice generous Tip or get the money changed at your destination if you can. Lots of 20bht notes in your pocket if you can

    Talk about scams ! Take time to read this.Long story but i will keep it short I have visited Pattaya many times over the years . In 2006 I decided to buy a place to retire ,around Pattaya. My biggest mistake was walking into Kensington Realty in Walking street. it was "owned" by a guy called Trevor Antill from the UK. Very plausible and very helpful . Being a trusting person at that time (my whole attitude to people has changed since then,) I believed he was genuine. He introduced me to a Lawyer (part of the scam) and got me set up with a bank account. On numerous visits there he sorted me out with a plot of land just outside Pattaya. I purchased one. I found out later, He sold the same plots to many people .He started building a perimeter wall and some earthworks,but it never moved very quickly.Being frustrated with progress in 2007 I was recommended a builder by a Thai colleague I worked with in Kuwait. When we visited the site one of the locals sent for Antill and when he was told it was going to be finished by the builder as he was taking too long he offered my money back. That night he left Pattaya and that was the last I saw of him. I visited a Lawyer in Bangkok recommended by the Embassy only to find the deeds for the land were fake .I found an article after a bit of research , in the Pattaya Times that had a photo of him in chains having been arrested in 2005 for the same thing making over £2,000,000 which he sent back to his son in the UK. Never went to prison and restarted the business in Pattaya in 2006.Why did he not go to prison.......well that does not take much working out?.
    I lost £100,000 and my retirement plans ended. Antill conned Japanese, Australian,Russian, New Zealand , Dutch and many more. I believe he fled to Chang Mai . Thailand is full of crooks and scammers and justice leaves a lot to be desired, Never returned since.
