Taxi rip offs is the biggest scam in Thailand... followed by ATM withdrawals... at airport ATMs one may land up with a higher exchange rates and also normal ATM withdrawal is around 220 thb per transaction which is very high for a long stay traveler as compared to any other country... like In Vietnam, I pay around 60 thb equivalent in VND per withdrawal transactionfrom ATM... then is tuk tuk... a BIG no for me... and Other scams or rip off depends upon what you looking for or want to indulge in... and knowledge about a place. Almost all big tourist countries have buses from airport to city center... not in Thailand... so it's a scam also so that a tourist has to get into a taxi. Luckily swarnabhumi airport has MRT... but anyone getting down at Don mueang will get ripped off

actually now Thailand has got stagnant in respect to tourism... Higher costs of Transportation, hotels and sightseeing. Exchange rates of Thai Baht... plus higher cost of travel or sustaining. For example... ATM withdrawal per transaction costs 220 thb for a non thai card where-as same in Vietnam costs around 70 thb... taxi scams... plus that constant irritating touts... asking boom boom... while walking around in tourist areas especially at night. Plus competition from countries like Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos ... who are offering 2 to 3 months stay evisa...

Every loop hole has a big hole...

Chinese threw the bait... extension 10 days @ 500 thb per day... where as the Chinese was paying 5000 for 30 days... So the greed crept in the Thai owner... and Chinese made away... dumping his garbage in situ...

Good idea... because when own intelligence is not working... use Artificial one...

Too many magicians in Samui and Phanghan now days....

Why people bring in their false ego's in a holiday spot... just enjoy in your own spaces...

Such a lavish lifestyle with lions, high walls... bit surprising that it didn't come under the scanner of police before...

Happy to see Indians having clean fun ... Just the loud music... creating heart burns to few locals...

50 police men nabbed 13 women... wow ... deserve standing ovation 👏 Anyone walking in sukhumvit bkk or pattaya can point out minimum 200 at each places... brown envelopes not moved... so let's detain some of these women and say we are modest beings...

All those airlines using Northern Indian airspace and pakistan airspace... After Pakistan based islamic terrorists killed 28 civilians in India... the India has retaliated with missile strikes on the terrorist bases in Pakistan. And thus there are ongoing air skirmishes and land based ops...

Wishing for her safety... very young to undergo any suffering...

Normal flu... nothing much as its getting hotter and rains...

Don't worry my people... I'm opening up casinos... you can always look from outside and be happy....

I said so many times before already... it's spooky 👻

May be he thought it as a souvenir...

a routine friendly (corrupt) behavior of authorities... I sympathize with the restaurant owner to come out in public and tell the truth... but I am sure they will be forced to shut down the restaurant in near future soon... no outrage... ?

She lacks education in normal civic behavior and norms... plus she speaks bad with arrogance... her parents should have given her better grooming ways to life.

They are more keen on opening casinos than to provide funds for education.
