Tell me what scam you have been in ?
Many years back my Thai wife and I accepted such a fare. It was early in the day and we had no urgent need to be anywhere. We were taken to a semi precious stone jewelry outlet. All very nice but too expensive to attract even my Thai spouse for items that were not GOLD ! We completed the circuit of the shop and left. Tuktuk driver honored the deal and we returned to hotel for 20 Baht. What scam? Can only be a scam if the driver does not announce conditions of transport. If so then walk away and seek a different driver ! People need to differentiate "scam" from "negotiated " . More than once I have videoed conversations with taxi drivers in total duration of journey and in two cases where gross dispute was attempted I made it clear I had evidence to provide. -

US Warplane Brought Down in Red Sea Amid “Friendly Fire” Incident
Exactly, would have been a UN resolution drafted straight away. As it turns out the terrorist Houthis tried to claim credit for the shooting down first before the US revealed the real cause. Always trust the scum who side with Hamas to lie. -

Tell me what scam you have been in ?
That is one of the reasons why I don't like to travel to places which I don't know. I don't want to be one of those tourists who know nothing, and everybody only wants their money. -

Tell me what scam you have been in ?
I got the same scam 2 years ago. The tuk tuk driver was stationed in front of the hotel I was staying at. I said I needed a ride to such and such a place, not more than a few klms away. He gave me a price, then said can we stop at a tailors. I knew the tricks of the trade, as I 've been here a long time, but I had time on my hands. So off to the tailors. Nice place, all Middle Eastern people. A big shop as well, two stories, 10 or more salesmen wandering about. I thought about some silk for the wife. So he grabbed one 1st in line on the shelf and gave me a price. I liked the color, so we did a deal. I think it was 900 thb for enough to make a dress. I know good Thai silk is not cheap. So I finished my journey with the driver. When I gave my wife the silk, she was not impressed. She told me it was not real Thai silk. Worth a hundred baht or two. The next time I stayed at the hotel, the tuk tuk driver waved remembering my face and asked if I needed a ride. I gave him my best "evil eye" and moved on. Lesson learned, again. -

I think you should look in the mirror and ask yourself how you could have possibly ever supported a very obvious evil terrorist group. -

Selling a motorcycle
I did the same a number of years back (selling to a non-Thai) I Just signed proof of sale, POA and signed over the green book - left the rest with him. I was contacted a year later, he wanted another POA as he'd not bothered to put the bike in his name for a year. I sold another bike a couple of years ago this time to a guy in a different province (a non-Thai), I never even met him, he transfered a deposit, I sent photos of the bike being loaded onto transport, he transfered the balance, I then posted the GreenBook, POA, Letter of Sale etc separately. From the sellers point of view, its exactly the same as a Car (I've sold on a few Cars to foreigners and Thai's). The transfer process is quite simple and there is a lot of info out there - but its a moving target and reliant on a few factors such as location / Nationality of seller and buyer etc... Note: Based on comments on this forum, some DLT's want proof of address from the Seller, but I've never encountered that (and its also reported that some won't accept a Yellow Book, but again, when buying in Bangkok, I've never encountered that). -
