    Chris, I was born in Thailand been living in the US since I was a boy, I watch a lot of TH-camrs in Thailand. There are a lot of TH-camrs that pretend to know about the custom and culture of Thailand.
    You are different, I can tell by your interactions that you genuinely respect and appreciate Thai culture. You’re one of the few. In Thai there’s a phrase that encompasses you, jai dee, maybe you’ve been called this, it means kindness, compassion, hospitality, humanity.

    As a Thai people. It's really ashame to see this. I know it's true. There is a bad and good people here. I'm sorry for tourists who met a scammer but i recommend you should avoid Tuk Tuk and Taxi. You better to use bus, taxi boat which is i never see you use it Thai people always use it i highly recommend or BTS sky train or MRT subway or monorail instead. there are many option for you to choose it cheaper and faster and safer you should recommend this in your chanel.

    Omg that is so true, my first time in thailand 10 days vacation before the seenamie in 2005. I got a very bad experience. Tuk tuk told us will cost $3 for 3 passenger and i want to tour silk store, they took me to a jewelry warehouse were they greet me with cold drink at front door surround by lots of pretty hookers, It was dark with dim lighting jewelry show case and jewelry factory. Aggressively asking us if we want to buy jewelry. I end up buying a necklace $1850 reduce to $850. My tuk tuk ask me what I buy. I found out he gets a cut of certain % from the jewelry factory. I told him I want to buy silk material not jewelry. He drop us off at this small building ( assuming this place is the silk store)and he want $30 not $3. I guess we may misunderstand him the price. I paid him $30. That day was Hot, tired and feel dizzy as we enter the silk store greeting by 2 beautiful girls dress in silk outfit. Shockingly we found ourselves woke up at some old building alley. They clean us out and dump us at some quiet scary alley. All of our purse and jewelry are gone. It was a tuk tuk team work scam. They drug us since the jewelry factory store, from those pretty girls greeting us with those cold drink.

    I don't understand how those places can charge for going into a religious temple. that's pretty much like going into a church here in the US, and finding out they're charging an entrance fee. You should talk to someone in customs, the embassy, or just someone you can trust, and ask them and find out about all of the places that are charging fee's like the temple and see if they're on the up and up. Find out what places are actually suppose to be free, and which ones have been scamming people this whole time. I do know from watching other video's that most of the places that say are doctor's office's, are actually a total scam and could actually get you sick or worse from what they give you.

Also grab or bolt motorcycles are the way to get around everything else takes too long or is very expensive.

    Here is what happened to me. I got in the tuk tuk and told the guy I wanted to go to Patpong. If he told me it was shut I would get off then, and of course, I'd owe him nothing. Instead, he bumbled around the town, and then said that Patpong was shut. I did not believe him. He said it was true and offered to take somewhere else. I told him I wanted to go to Patong several times. He feigned ignorance/ language troubles and I ended at another place with dancing girls. I got out gave him 100 bhats and walked unlike I found a real taxi, who took me there.

    I chose to go on the floating market tour to see what it was all about. It might be called a scam, but I found the things I got to see very interesting. I called it the tour of despair. It was one of my more memorable tours.

    I remember it was difficult to find this TukTuk scam a couple of years ago. I was on purpose searching for it as I had to kill a day in Bangkok before my (Thai) fiance and I wanted to travel by car to the North.
    Searched for about 30 to 45min around Sanam Luang before I found one. And it worked exactly, to the detail, the same as I had read before on the Internet. I had to control myself not to burst out into laughing as that TukTuk ride was just a kind of DejaVue. Surreal.
    And I encountered also a very talkative guy... If a Thai first approaches you, second speaks good English and third talking like a waterfall - it is a scammer.
    Thai are very polite and will not bother you at all. This is why I as an introvert love Thailand so much.

    USD550 for a pair of custom suite is a scam in Thailand. It should only cost around USD70-100.

    I had this on my first day in BK last year. I’m usually well up on scams etc but this guy would not piss off. I paid 2000 bht for around a four hour trip. Tbh the boat trip and temples were good but not worth the money. Obvs he tried to get me in a suit shop. I don’t think I was scammed as such but just overpaid.
