wrong. and i can't believe you actually bought into that. whats a jet ski scam ? hahaha
in fact a few weeks ago i was in patong and tried to listen to them as they were working. they were not speaking thai. i'm quite alright with thai and learned to speak thai in the south. there should of been no reason i didn't understand them. i wonder what language they were speaking as none of it made any sense. my bet is burmese. migrant workers.
then i was in pattaya last weekend with an american friend new to thailand and i kid you not it happened right in front of us on beach road. some unsuspecting drunken beer belly fools getting taken for some bahts.
