Get yourself some travel insurance before going on that vacation of yours.
Two russians in a jetski were close to the shore, one of them nearly went right over the top of his friend very lucky to be uninjured.
This is the recording of the aftermath of the incident i decided to record the moment as i had a few minutes to spare.

I think they are professional scammers and this is not the first time becareful, In the Philippines we love the foreigners so much dont know why, but this is how we normally feel, we like our visitors to enjoy their stay.
One look of that fucker, we know he is an experienced scammer. They do the same in Vietnam too, they have gotten lots of scammers, so be careful
subbed but rebrand to exposing scammers or something it could be your signature ^^

I was gonna rent a jet ski there but now I’m like Phuket.
Lol

these Russians are actually chill people, they guy in pink was being cool the whole time and respectful till the scammers got aggressive.

You should. Its a lot cheaper. Just know that a lot of people there are trying to make a buck of of you whatever way they can. Videotape everything you use and negotiate pricing before a transac

Haha so true
Oh yeah, nice attitude in a foreign land.
Call daddy. Supposed to be impressive?
This is how punks in Asia get their asses handed to them.
Seen it numerous times.

That was so cool!

Thats so delhi thing
A similar story happened to me. On December 13, 2018, my friend and I rented a jet ski on the Patong beach. After riding, the owner of the jet ski demanded 30,000 baht for fake damage. I called the tourist police, but the police turned out to be corrupt. The police said that if I didn't pay, they would take me to the police station. In the end, I managed to bring down the price to 15,000 baht.
PS I recognized the Thai guys in this video! scammers
Fuck… the police got maybe like 5k
Do not hire any kind of equipment at all anywhere in Thailand.
Disgusting
When you were on the Jet Ski, did you remember hitting anything or was the damage completely made up?
@@Lovsnow they would have set up someone to come and bash on your equipment and run away. You have to pay huge amount for a little damage
This scammer has been going on for many years. My mate got scammed for $5000 back in 2010. Almost 9 years ago. I did not go Thailand ever since.
We fell for the same scam over 10 years ago in Thailand. They were asking for $600 for damage we didn’t make. It was quite a story, my husband almost went in to fight with one of those guys. We went to hotel, they followed us all the way.. and called the police. Police took my husband’s passport & said we’ll return it after you pay money to them. All I can say, police work with them and share their profit! We went to police station that was right, almost across from jet ski place (it was in Pattaya). I talked police offices down to $300, after long negotiations. But, I could see in his eyes, these dudes work together!! What a rotten, scambag culture. Maybe it’s a bit different now, but it put me off wanting to ever go back to this scam country.. If my husband would have fought that local, he’d be the one ending up in prison. Thanks to some tourist passer, who intervened in time, didn’t allow this to happen! There is no protections for tourists in this country. Do not fell for this crap!!
I can relate. I was in Colombia where drug dealers cooperate with the police. They offer tourists a “free sample of coke”. They almost put it in your pocket without you asking for it. And then they call the police who catch you with cocaine. You can either pay your way out or go to prison
Sue theme or just walk away and make new passport cuz the police can't charge you not gonna get locked in prison.
To be honest, not all the police there are corrupted especially the police station officers.
Absolutely true.....Thailand is corrupt to the core...and scamming is part of their culture!! Freaking morons can't even understand anything else apart from Thai!!
If was I...surely I call my government
No.1 rules when you go to Phuket...Don’t rent jet ski
Not only jet ski.all bussiness in thailand you must carefull.like example you go to shop in thailand.you ask many thing like price size or anything then you leave without buying also will be the same thing.they will ask your money.thailand is like that.
Dont even go to Phuket. I went there 12 years ago and I swear never to come back. Small islands in Celebes have more beautiful and pristine beaches, nothing Phuket can visibly offer. But tourists still fall for the Phuket scams.
These EXACT guys also sell Drugs from the jet ski “umbrella” too. I saw many “deals” going on when I visited Patong beach.
@@marsilladewibaruch7097 I'm done with phuket. They want to charge foreigners western prices for everything, the services are good price but if you refuse to turn it into western price then they will ruin your service(Something like the jet ski)
Don't go to Thailand at all. It's a shitty place
For 470$ in Thailand, you can buy a used jetski, Thailand so many scammers
He was tryna buy 2 more for more revenue
They damaged it
No you cant.
@@vinny4149 they dented it, lol... thats all

He was worried about it getting on CZcams - well that shows how guilty they are.
Preach !
On my last trip in turkey we rented a quad and booked a tour. I literally broke the axis while trying to drift and all they've done was saying that my behavior was dangerous in this kind of place (surroundings (like cliffs and stuff)) and giving me their own quad for the rest of the tour.
Niiiiice people there
I rented a moped in turkey and I broke it (by mistake obviously) and it was no problem
Thank you people need to know more about this my country turkey is so laid back!!! Brake something over there all u here is “tamam no problem” 😂😂
I am from Turkey but live in Austria, i fell from a bike and had no insurance they were like no problem, stitched me up and gave me something to drink. Instead of paying a bill, i did get a free soft drink 😂😂
Btw, some of them used water paint in some area, which it come off easily when mixing with water while riding jetski. Be careful
Fahad Alsafi very true this is another way they try and scam people in other parts of Thailand, they use tooth paste and paint over it once in the way it washes away.
After reading this, the 1% chance I would ever hire from them just went to 0%... thanks for the insight! 👍🏽
The guy crushed jet ski into another jet ski. It was his fault not a scam
@@jan8829 is there video of it or you are full of shit?
@@jan8829 they hired the guy to crash into him
Rule nr 1 in Thailand. Never rent a jetski.
I have rented several times and never faced any issues...
Because u didn’t crash
He's talking about the high risk of trouble. The doesn't happen every time, but the risk is always there. These people scam.
Don't rent anything form Thais, Unless, your life depends on it:)
R.C. J where was this? You should share your good experiences so that other tourist can use the honest one and put the bad one out of business..
H ah ah, now these grubby scammers have to eat sand. No tourists, ain't Karma great.
Let’s hope this video put them out of business
They need tourist for living
Then they have to respect the tourists
Hopefully they're having the time of their lives in hell now. Whatever is happening to them right now, they deserve it.

This guy is quite famous for scamming foreigners. I have seen him on multiple channels
Unfortunately, he knows foreigners won't report him because it means staying in Thailand for quite some time. Also language barrier.
And finally, he bribes police with his earnings.
tourism helps their economy and this is how they repay us!
Foreigners also help the US and UK economies, both of their leaders wants to close borders preventing foreigners from coming and work.
kalil Abraahim And those said foreigners send remittances back to their country, draining funds from our economy, while flooding the lower end of the labour market with unskilled workers so local people can’t find work.

Patong beach jet ski mafia bro.. Whenever someone tries to scam me where I live in Phuket I just send in my Thai wife, the last thing a scammer wants is a pissed off Thai lady screaming in their face.5555
its sad that you can't go somewhere nice and enjoy yourself without having some scumbag try to scam you every second you are there.
I have lived in Thailand for 9 years and Phuket for 4 years and work in Patong on Bangla road, these guys are actually referred to as the "jet ski mafia" A word of advice from a local expat.. never..ever..ever..rent a jet ski, and anything you do rent always document the condition of the rental before you drive/ride off.. video or picture evidence goes a long ways with the police if they are called..
They use non waterproof paint now… so you make videos. And after you come back from your jetski ride, paint is gone and there is damage…
@lucv2499 Yeah, they are scammers, Best to not even rent one. No need the drama. And to top it off the police are in on the scam, they will "negotiate" a settlement with the threat of jail if you don't pay up and they take a cut from the scam.
Rule number one: Do not try to scam or bully a Russian.
Rule number two: Never try to intimidate a South African.
Rule number three: Follow rules one and two.

Dont rent Jet Ski's when you're in Thailand - When are people going to learn.
Dont rent a Jet Ski in Thailand. This is one of the most important rule here.
Dont crash the jet ski in Thailand. This is the most important rule here :)
No you just need to find someone who is trained to deal with these problems if this does ever occur :)
Bullshit
Derrick Hammer facts never they are known for trying to scam people esp Americans
Nahh.. Rule nr1. In Thailand.. take pictures before renting anything!!! Voila..🤝
Thank you for exposing these scammers. They’re very aggressive just like you had mentioned. I witnessed that on my group tour. Stop renting anything from them. Let them starve when they don’t making any money.
New tourist idiots are born every minute, you'll never educated them all.

Karma shall bite them very hard. Let them all suffer and rot away. Also the corrupt police
Damn right! Fcuk em! Cops probably work with them too!! That is the biggest problem!
Thank you for standing up to these scum bags. The whole world needs to know about them.

@ original comment 😂💪🏾
As someone who lives in Cambodia: Police in this part of the world require a different approach. When they say they are calling "the police" they mean *their* police who are already in on it. That does *not* mean that you have no recourse. The key is to find other police who aren't in on it, usually the dedicated "tourist police" are good for this. As soon as the cop who is getting paid realizes he's about to be outed to his colleagues who weren't getting their cut, he will disappear and the scam will be over.
great advice thanks
They were threatening the whole time, I will share this on facebook!
It’s on FB, one version already has 41,000,000 views. I thought it woulda taken off on here by now
If he's paying 30k , then he should take the jet ski with him lol 😂
💯
I was on this beach 4 years ago, and they tried to say I broke his foot when I got off the ski, the police came and wanted 4000 American, I gave the police 230 dollars and they locked the guy up and let me go

Facts 😂
You *think* they locked him up. Once you were gone it's back to business.
@@brianisfromvegas oh my goodness
Why pay the police?
The fact is that ppl who do things like that. They never get any where in life. That’s why they’re poor. Honesty is the key of success...

Don’t say sorry, Thailand’s beautiful the people are amazing. This was just a bad experience for those two Russians in the video. Thank you for your comment ❤️
Zero Borders Thank you bro 🙏🏻 i hope you come back to thailand , We will wait to welcome you again to land of smile 😊❤️
You thai's are cool ass fuck.. Nothing will change because of this video.. Much love .. I was there in 2004.. 🙌
Coming back very soon, can't wait i absolutely love the country!! 2020
Exactly best people!!
In this case, call the Thai tourist police (1155). Do not call the regular police, because they are usually involved in this type of scam as well.
Damn why it sounds like Vietnam
Tourist police also corrupt at worst or unwilling to act at best...TIT
I lived in Thailand for few years and never experienced bad scams like this but I hope yall dont come here cus if the police aint helping then whos gonna??
SEA Asia cops don't ever think they will help u unless u give some coffee money, same la Vietnam,Thailand, Indonesia or Philippines if u unlucky everywhere is same, China more worst Im sure to tell u
I stayed in Thailand 2 weeks and have encountered with Thai police , they seems to be nice and reasonable.
Lived in Thailand for nearly 10 years; this "damage" would only cost (at the most) 4-6,000 baht.... what a scam, thanks for posting; Yeah the beaches are beautiful, especially if you go down Jomtien Beach Road (go deep past soi 10 basically, calm and much less chaotic than some spots).
The damages also fake. They draw painting water over the damages part then if we rented and ride on it to the sea, the painting will disappear and the damage will show. Thai local is scamming tourists.
I like how they seem to be totally aware of these scams being talked about and showed online and that it is damaging the country's image, and then continues to perform the scam and most likely on a daily basis complains about less tourists/customers visiting the place
They use toothpaste to cover damage, and when you go for a ride, it peals of.
Why would you rent from a person with a criminal attitude?
Ofcourse they rent it to you nicely then when they comeback there goes the problem. You obviously haven't encountered people like this
@@renxob123, do you "smoke" strange things? You talk poop.
Dude, I was just thinking they do something like that!!
@@CZcamsDeletesComments, they also hit you purposaly on the end of the day when it becomes dark soon. I know their behavior for more than 20 years and even after international complaints, nothing change.

I also faced scam in Thailand, the hotel I stayed took money from my security deposit and telling that I broke the chair although it was broken earlier. All staffs are rude. Not suggest anyone to go to Thailand. Even people are also not helpful and kind to you if you are not from Europe.
What is the name of that hotel?
Thank you so much for the information!
These scams have been going on forever. Why are people still renting these things?
Good question...
Cuz its fun
Because no one tell to not rent this before.. and this is holidays and tourism need to joy
@@ErikGinting its been going on for like 10 yrs or more alrdy ppl should research before visiting its common sense now
Because I didnt know about this until I saw this video.
Never rent a jetski in Thailand
Hope they go out of business. Should be thrown in jail for being con artists! Never rent jet skis or quads in Thailand. It’s just not worth it
That’s why Thailand was Never in my Packet list!
Wow !!! They even threaten to kill them after scamming them. Thank you for warning the people not to go there

13 minutes? and what about drying time and lost business?

Great video, we'll done. People planning to go to Thailand, don't rent any motorcycle or Jet ski, as these are big scams. Instead enjoy the beautiful beaches and wonderful food
I had this in koh larn with 1 of my son's who's mother just happened to be Thai, they thought she was Chinese, really messed their heads up . We called the police and I told the police to arrest me coz I wasn't gonna pay 30,000 baht . Then my wife decided she wanted to fight them . They changed their tune . We got away with 3000 baht in the end . And even the policeman asked why they do this to tourists . In the end wife took the money to the workshop with the police and gave it to the mechanic , that really pissed them off . So we got on our boat and went back to pattaya . I've never been back since to koh larn and will never hire a jet ski in thailand . Their loss not mine
When on holiday in Thailand assume everyone is going to scam you also remember to guard your drinks at any club
The Russian negotiating " I pay you $200 and only kill 2 people then"
Lmfao i thought something similar my guy has that pure russian accent when he said and you know who i am lol
hahahaha its fun to dream
I was over there and the same thing happened to my mate. The police were in on the scam and had to pay $1000 for a small scratch. Couldn't do anything because there was like 20 of them surrounding us and followed us for a whole day
When I go to Thailand I only take £600 and that lasts me the whole trip😂 I wouldn’t even be able to give them 30,000
Thailand is the ‘Land of (fake) Smiles’
James Lane Went to Patong for the first time last month. Never again. The place stinks and you get harassed from morning till night time.
OkinInc The key to Pattaya is to stay in southern Jontiem Beach, a 15 min Baht bus ride from central Pattaya. A clean, uncrowded beach. No touts/jet-ski. good hotels and restaurants directly across from the beach. A more relaxed vibe.
Go to the Philippines for real smile.
James Lane Cheers James.
@@bronsondeleon9624 thnks
One of the oldest and most obvious scams in Thailand going.(sigh)
nice video, about 40% of my views from my How to Avoid Scams in Patong Beach are sourced from this video. Thanks bud!
Same thing happened to us in Thailand. My girlfriend and I lost the plastic cover from the side of a scooter probably worth a few dollars to replace and after some discussion and demands for US$300 we were surrounded by a dozen locals some with machetes demanding payment. We eventually negotiated the amount down and caught the first bus out of town. Be really careful when renting vehicles as they see tourists as ATM's.
Low life criminals like that give a pretty place a bad rep.

Been there myself just 3 months ago - i remember these guys. they all look scammy to me so always be nice and say no thank you. to be fair, the guy had made damage and should pay for it - but 1kUSD is and even 470USD is wayyyyy too much. in general, this is gonna be my last time in Thailand - i have been there many many times in the last 20 years and i have seen it become this shitty yet beautiful place - but enough. its expensive and the feel you are been taken is everywhere - better op-out for other places, the world is big, vote with your legs.
A thousand dollars is expensive for the repair? Are you a jet ski specialist?
I dented one in Italy in "Lago di Garda" and thought I would pay around € 1000. Guess what the agency told me? "Tutto coperto di assicurazione" meaning "All is covered by insurance" and I was off on my way in five minutes and they never seemed to bother. That's why I suggest you go to a legal agent even if you'll pay some more, you'll avoid drama, time wastage and above all blood thirsty scammers.
Really awesome video !! Worth the time 👌👍
Never hire a jetski in thailand. Avoid all scammers just dont take the risk better still avoid the beaches in Thailand.

Nasty little scamming pricks! I hope they lose all their business. this is a very helpful video to stop people hiring these jet skis and getting ripped off! I would never hire a jet ski after watching this.
They repay the tourists who contribute to their economy and business massively by ripping them off, nice people they are, great video.
ตอนนี้โดนโควิดเข้าไปคงจ๋อย สมน้ำหน้า ตอนนักท่องเที่ยวไปเที่ยวtreatเขาเหมือนหมูเหมือนหมา จะเอาแต่ลูกค้าฝรั่ง พอได้ลูกค้าฝรั่งยังจะไปโกงเขาอีก เป็นไงหละ ตอนนี้ป่าตองเงียบยังกับป่าช้า
Before every ride you usually are given a small insurance certificate to sign which covers a percentage of the damage. Always call the tourist police or avoid riding jet skis at all.
Franks bettas ,they have no such insurance on that beach with the JetSki operators I think they actually pray that something does happen to there jet skis it just means more money for them, some tourists don’t know what they are doing. One thing that scares me with jet skis are if you hit an object in the water whether it be a floating coconut or a log lol coconut is what scared me the most haha
