davetrout Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I was in bkk long ago on my fisrt trip to thailand , i was a green kid on the block and i was wandering around the streets looking for a place to eat with my newly met companion. Anyway a tuk tuk driver ask me if i wanted to go for some good seafood, so off we went he took us to a nice place. I remember him waiting outside then someone from the resturant went and spoke with him, i didn't think much of this at the time. we got our food there was no pricing on the menu. It came to just over 10,000 baht with just 5 beers and some food, ripped off but i paid and learn't a good lesson welcome to thailand. My question is was the tuk tuk involved and did he get paid to take me there. cheers big ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Mango Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) No , the restaurant staff went over and kindly said thankyou to the tuk tuk driver for bringing them customers. The driver politely replied , no problem its my pleasure to help you and please take care of this tourist. And then just drove off into the sunset .....

SantiSuk Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Commissions for business introductions are so commonplace the world over that it is hardly in true "scam" territory. Read reviews on the internet or ask a trusted friend or colleague if you want something that is not blatantly biased. Receptionists and doormen of reputable hotels fall into the latter category unless they insist on booking it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arunsakda Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 10,000 Baht? You were fleeced and the driver got a nifty kickback. Sent via a series of tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomyai Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 how much did your ComPanIon cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) What kind of dishes did you get for 10,000 baht?. In Tokyo you could have a 6 course dinner at Michelin 3 star of noted French chef JJoel Robuchon for 1 person. (Not including 12% service charge). The 8 course set is ¥42,000.

lamyai3 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 10,000 Baht? You were fleeced and the driver got a nifty kickback. Actually, I'd think even the driver got fleeced on that bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
