Shoppers cooked fake bird's nest with Thai gum.
Many people choose Thailand when they go abroad for the first time. Thailand is not far away, with low prices and mature tourism, not to mention the scenery.
When China tourists go to Thailand, they buy openly and generously, among which the most sought after is the bird's nest in Thailand.
However, many China tourists have no idea that the "best bird's nest" they bought in Thailand for 10,000 yuan is just a substance made of gum and coconut shells, and some even have no bird's nest ingredients.
Thailand's Special Cases Department, together with Thailand's Ministry of Health, Tourism Police and Pattaya Police, investigated and dealt with nine black-hearted bird's nest restaurants in China, and most of these restaurants only accepted China tour groups.
Restaurants collude with tour guides to bring China tourists to these restaurants and recommend them to eat. The part of 3000 baht (about 600 RMB) will be deducted by the team leader up to 2600 baht!
Japan's fake "duty-free shops" are very cunning
The Japanese "artisan spirit" is world-famous. Out of trust in "Japanese quality", Japanese duty-free shops and pharmacies are highly sought after by China tourists.
However, unlike the "unconditional trust" of China tourists, many Japanese businessmen have carefully designed scams to deceive China people.
The online edition of Japan's Fuji Evening News once published the article "How to Sell Japanese Products to China People at High Prices", calling for selling Japanese products to China people who are eager to buy them through the Internet.
The duty-free shop guide speaks fluent Chinese and strongly recommends a plant enzyme with a price of about RMB 1 100.
However, this enzyme is only sold in duty-free shops and only to China people. Japanese people will hardly choose such expensive enzymes.
NHK once exposed the inside story of the profit sharing of duty-free shops in Japan: 50% cut by itself, 25% for travel agencies and 25% for tour guides.
Korean fake cosmetics are only sold in China.
South China is a paradise for shopping. In places where tourists gather, such as Dongdaemun and Myeongdong, there will be shopping shops specially opened for China people.
The prices of goods in these stores are much lower than those in regular counters, but Koreans are explicitly forbidden to buy them, and only foreign tourists are encouraged to snap them up, the main force of which is China tourists.
The price of Russian jewelry is 10 times higher.
Some jewelry stores in Moscow, Russia only accept China people, but Russians are not allowed to enter. They thought it was an exclusive discount for China tourists. In fact, the prices of all commodities are more than ten times higher than the normal market prices.
Australian fakes are only sold to China people.
Duty-free shops in Australia are not fuel efficient.
Some tourists from China complained that they bought goods worth as much as 93,000 yuan in Australian duty-free shops, only to find that they were cheated after returning home, and they were all products without three products.
There are also some duty-free shops that only accept tour groups. Inferior products in shops are sold as high-quality products, while goods made in China are packaged as "Made in Australia", and the price is much higher than the market price.
Shopping trap 1. European vendors are looking for fake change.
Trap possibility: ★★★★★★★
Location: markets in Italy, Spain and other countries.
Euro coins are very similar to coins in some countries (pay special attention to Philippine peso and Thai baht). Some small traders will mix in these fake change, and if they encounter it, they will lose at least 1.8 Euro!
Solution: Check the coins carefully, try to change some coins in regular stores in advance and then find a small vendor to buy them.
2. Thailand is priced in two languages.
Trap possibility: ★★★★★☆.
Location: at the gates of parks and vendors in Thailand.
This situation will occur more often in countries like Thailand that can't read (that is, bullying you to study less), and the price of Arabic numerals will rise twice inadvertently!
American cashier plays dumb and doesn't know the discount in the store.
Trap possibility: ★★★☆☆☆
Location: major discount shopping malls in the United States
When shopping in America, the cashier will probably bully you because of your poor foreign language and won't give you a corresponding discount.
Go to the mall to pick out T-shirts and promote sales. 24.50 dollars for one and 39.50 dollars for two. The cashier is a very clever American. I bought two. This guy actually charged me 49 yuan at the original price of two yuan, and even tricked me into getting their credit card, saying that there would be a 20% discount. Fortunately, I am not fooled!
4. Japan buys made in China.
Trap possibility: ★★★☆☆☆
Location of the incident: Japanese brand store
Needless to say, many sisters should feel the same way! Especially when I buy clothes in Japan, the place of origin is mostly madeinChina, which is really a lie!
In Japan, I went to the department store and bought some Japanese brands (Murua, Mossy, Snidel) which are very popular in China. As a result, I went back and saw that they were all made in China.
China, it's really ridiculous. The key prices are no different from those in China.
5. European luxury counters look at people under the menu
Trap possibility: ★★☆☆☆☆
Location of the incident: luxury counter
Foreign luxury shop assistants are good at seeing people give goods. If you don't know much about luxury sister paper, then you should be careful that the clerk sells A goods to you as genuine products. This is no joke!
Coping methods: Understand the basic knowledge of fake goods, hand lettering, printing and hand sewing of hardware and big-name bags. Baidu can find a lot of popular science stickers ~
