Today, in Bangkok, I come to see the scams that tourists of Thailand are exposed to. Thailand is well known for having many scams, and in this video, I go undercover to expose one of Bangkok's most common scams.

I live in Bangkok, but as an obvious foreigner with limited knowledge of Thai I NEVER take a tuk-tuk or a taxi unless I am with a Thai person. It’s BTS and MRT metros everywhere all the time on their extensive networks faster then going in traffic and cheaper with no potential scams.

@@blackbirdbeatle River and canal taxis have limited routes and hours of work and are only interesting if you live near a canal which has them, but fun to take. Grab can be an alternative in a crunch, but then you have to go trough the heavy Bangkok traffic, and some drivers will not honor your call or will try to get extra money out of you, while the metro avoids all traffic issues, has a large network, and is still cheaper.

The red non-AC buses are usually only 8 baht. Travel like a local and speak Thai you save a ton of money on transport. I usually only use local buses very seldom bts, some bts routes are cheap such as from Mochit to Yaek Kor Por Aor near Rangsit. Local air conditioned orange buses are also cheaper than the more modern blue AC buses. All buses are much cheaper than motorbikes, taxi or tuktuks. Bangkok has many options to save money on transport.

why not learn thai. its very easy language to do so at least the basics. go try learning khmer and burmese gets alot harder. but thai extremely easy as also the thais will just speak thai with you where as it was much harder for me to learn khmer and burmese as i did. then you got the minority language like karen and tai yai mon not easy. lao language once you know thai extremelly easy too.

Plenty of posts on thailand reddit pages from first timers, gets one of these taxis, go to suit store, buy some "top shelf Kashmir wool or silk suit", pay like $600, get back to australia and they find out its some polliester crap, didn't get to do most of the tours that they wanted, just the ones the driver gets a kick back on, usually they feel like they are trapped and had a horrible 8 hour day, the drivers can sense weakness and will push harder, so a 20 year old bloke with his misses on his first trip gets taken advantage of ....

Staying near National Stadium BTS last year, i was constantly bothered by one tuk-tuk scammer in particular. A few heated interactions eventually led a few Leo's where he explained how these scams operate. He explained that he didn't like his job but wasn't able to quit because his bosses were "mafia" and they could ruin his life. One day I visited one of the shops he was pushing and ACTUALLY got a good deal on an ornamental box.

I've been to Thailand 10x. I remember one trip where I got a taxi at the hotel I was at. Knowing about the "suit" or "jewel" scam shops, I got in and tapped my watch, hey, I'm in a hurry, no time for shop. Well, this pissed off the taxi driver. I noted that we lapped the victory monument twice. When he stopped at the light I threw him 20 baht and jumped out. The last thing you want to do is to be stranded at some scammer shop being pressured to buy stuff you don't want!

The real downside of these scams for newbies is once you know you've been scammed, you think everyone is scamming you and start accusing honest Thais of doing so and that's when things can get interesting.

I’ve traveled the world and thought I was an experienced traveler but I got scammed In Bangkok. (1994). I fell for the tuck tuck scam. I wanted to go to the palace so I flagged a tuk tuk. He told me the plalace was closed for a special holiday and he could take me to another temple. While there a gentleman approached me and started chatting. Eventually he started telling me about a jewelry sale that was being offered by the government to sell jewelry to foreigners at a discount. He wrote the name of the jewelry store on a piece of paper which I gave to the tuk tuk driver. We arrived there and it was busy but reflecting on it I believe they were actors in on the scam. I left and I asked the driver to take me back to the hotel. He asked me if he could take me to a tailor shop so he could get a gas voucher. So I said okay and suffered the high pressure sales pitch. Anyway that’s my story. They were so slick and professional.

There is a reason why rideshare like Bolt and Grab is eating their lunch! Avoid Tuk-Tuks and Taxis like the plague.

It's a full time job for them, they did me and my gf years ago taking us to a very "peng" restaurant but I just ordered 2 drinks and left. Could be worse, in Australia there's peoples losing thousands to online scams and banks and government doing nothing to protect! good vid

Yes. And it's not just the tuk tuk drivers. The cumulative effect on the visitors is very stressful and frustrating. There are so many psychopaths. Thank you so much for making this video.

Back in the late 1980's, I backpacked alone in SE Asia. Your video brought back memories of my BAD experiences in BGK. The methods recorded were similar to what I remember. Unfortunately, Thailand is not alone; other countries noted with bitter memories are Spain, Morocco, Indonesia, Egypt, India come to mind. The key is not to take any of this personally, you are a target and you can do very little to blend in. Today, I have visited 40+ countries, and all of my negative experiences all add to my list of "war stories." KEEP traveling!

That 80/100b Tuk Tuk was cheap as hell even though he did take you to a suit shop. I expected him to bump up the price when you finished but he only asked for 20b for water. I don't think you got scammed at all today there are way bigger scams than this. You just got lucky today and I give props to everyone who helped you, including the TukTuk driver.

As I am Thai And most Thai people don't ride these cars because they don't have meters. There is no standard for billing. These cars are about to disappear because Thai people don't ride them. But these cars like to make a living with foreigners because they think they have a lot of money and like to ride in these cars. I recommend and tourists must teach these cars a lesson without having to service them. Turn to using a car service that has a meter that correctly increases the price. Or it would be better to call Grab.

It's was so mutch fun to see this vlog ;-) They try always the same trick, that's why I normally take a Grab Taxi ;-) I was two time at the The Grand Palace and both time a Guy cames to my and told my it's closed but he do a TukTuk Tour for me ;-) If I take a TukTuk or a Taxi I always negotiate a price before the ride and during the ride they always show me a Card and try to sell me a Tour or PingPong Show or what ever... As a Tourist it's the best way to use Grab even if you pay a little more like you negotiate a price on a Taxi. For longer distances I take the metro or Train or Ferry and at the End a Taxi.
