Due to difficult economic and political times in Thailand, there has been a surge of reported rip-offs of travelers and local foreigners throughout the Kingdom by Guest Houses and Tour Guides. Thai people are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot and doing anything for money. Some feel it is their right to rip-off foreigners and this must stop.

Thus, this advisory is not only to help local foreign travelers not get ripped-off, but also to help honest local people so that foreign travelers will continue to visit this awesome place called The Kingdom of Thailand.

I urge people residing in other tourist locations throughout Thailand to post their own similar advisory. However, please do not post frivolous or spiteful advisories just because a business or person is not liked. Only post those that are known for being unscrupulous in their money dealings with honest local and foreign people. Thank you.
