Shops showing prices? Whatever next!

How can they inflate the price to us foreigners if it is shown in the first place? Surely the idea of displaying prices will never catch on.

Consumer protection my a**.

Yet more blind eyes turned at the jetski scam.

Officers from the Consumer Protection Police Division from Bangkok...

Who?? I had no idea such an organization existed in Thailand! Any idea what, exactly, are the scope of their duties & responsibilities?
