1. A warm-hearted liar-jewelry store
Someone accosted you near the Grand Palace in Bangkok and told you that there were activities you needed to go to. Ogle, close. When you didn't know what to do, I kindly introduced you to other temples and called you Tutuche. Finally, you really went to the jewelry store. The opening hours of the Grand Palace are from 8:30 to 15:30.
2. Pigeon scam outside Bangkok Grand Palace
The corn grains fed to pigeons outside Bangkok Grand Palace are all for money. Don't pick it up. If you pick them up, you will be asked to pay, usually 150 baht.
3. Black TV Travel Agency
Hello China Travel Agency in Chiang Mai, address: North of Taimen Square Street in Chiang Mai. At first, the store agreed to take a shuttle bus to the hotel for sightseeing, and then waited for a long time without seeing anyone. A few hours later, people came and said they couldn't leave because they broke something. They were threatened by local forces and demanded compensation. I suggest you contact the embassy and call the police.
4. Taxi fraud
Taxis in Bangkok are cheaper, so drivers will make detours to increase their income. About ten to one hundred baht at a time. I suggest you ask the hotel owner to call you a taxi.
5. DuDu car fraud
In the vicinity of Bangkok Palace and Jade Buddha Temple, some drivers will tell you that the palace is closed for one day for some reason, and then they know that there is a good scenic spot nearby, so they can take you directly. The cost is about 50 or 100 baht. When we get to where we want to go, there are several possibilities. First, if you are going to pray at the monk's residence, your bag and everything will be gone when you pray. If you go to an art gallery or other places, you can buy something you don't need.
Mainly occurred in the Grand Palace, Jade Buddha Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple, National Museum, Siam Museum and other major places of interest, or near the museum. When you see these drivers, you try to ignore them.
6. Fraud in water activities
Water sports are the easiest to be stolen. For example, after you rented a motorboat, they made people pretend to accidentally hit the car you were driving and then left. So when you return the car, you start asking exorbitant prices. It will make you snorkel anyway. It makes sense anyway. Finally, pretending to be kind according to your requirements will be 5 1 10,000 cheaper.
Mainly occurred in Pattaya and Phuket, about 1 10,000 to 20,000.
The best way to prevent this is to ask the tour guide to find a reliable boatman who will negotiate with you, or ask the boatman to send a beach boy to ride with you in the back seat, so that an accident will not be your problem.
7. Massage fraud
The manager solicited customers at the door and told them that it was 500 an hour before, and it will be cheaper today. Then, at the door, the manager will say you pay him first. When you have paid the money and enjoyed the massage, the proprietress will come to collect the money. The staff here will not testify for you, but they will say that they think this is your tour guide or friend.
It mainly occurs in some busy lanes with more tourists along the MRT of Sukunyi Road in Bangkok. The main method of prevention is to choose a well-known regular massage shop. Don't talk to strangers, pay after entering the store counter.
