I don't see how Thais can cure the gullibility of tourists. Normally critical thinking is developed (or not) while school age. Clearly the number of people who voted for Brexit or who watch Fox News demonstrate the failure of that.

It never happened to me. Got to love posts like these... Some random tool comes along with a 'never happened to me’ comment, so assured in their own safety, they can never be pickpocketed, never be scammed, never be ripped off... This 'Keyboard bravado’ of such blinding nitwittedness highlights the stupidity of some who are completely oblivious to the fact that ‘it could’ happen to them and they are in line for a fall... usually when a BG rips them off !

Dealer, scammer, robber, pimp, I did it all in a previous life, so you want me to explain you more what it never happened to me and will never happen? No, I am not a big mouth keyboard warrior as most of the people here, truth me, your life is not better if you don't know me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got scammed on my first trip to Thailand in 1996 - though I learnt from it In 2005 I was staying in Bangkok for a period of 3 months so I had plenty of time to go to where I wanted to go. Being a Cheap Charlie, I came to an arrangement with one of the "unmetered" taxi drivers - he would take me where I wanted to go for free but only after we visited a number of gem stores / tailors etc (number depended on the length of journey to where I wanted to go) - he got his petrol coupons and I got a free ride (albeit 2 to 3 hours in time!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phkauf Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If they wanted to stop the scam it's actually quite easy - just have pre-recorded announcements in multiple languages announcing the Grand Palace is open and not to listen to the touts. The Japanese do that in the "red-light" area of Shinjuku warning not to go with touts and how you will scammed by the host clubs. But alas, there are too many important people being paid off by these scum so it's not going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
