If a scammer ask you where are you from, tell you are from Romania, he will run away for not to be scammed.

This is one of the most informative videos on Thailand I've seen. Helpful and concise. Well done!

I’ve heard of most of these and experienced a couple but I think you missed 1 very important point….. after 15 years in Thailand 99% of the people I’ve met are honest, helpful and trustworthy!! The majority of these scams take place in every large city in the world.

Yes all these scams can happen but they do paint a picture of everyone is out to scam you, which is simply not true. I have been going to Thailand 20 odd yrs and I find the majority of Thai people to be very honest and helpful. It’s a good video for people who are brand new to Thailand but you soon pick up all this stuff. Have a great time it’s the land of smiles. 😊

23:05 pickpocketing: I fell victim to pickpocket working with a street fruit peddler, the peddler tipped over a weighing scale deliberately and while my attention was distracted on it, someone behind me took my camera from my pouch. When I realised later and went back to confront the peddler she became aggressive, obvious giveaway she was in it.

Keep working hard and thanks for the info!

Extremely important: always look like you know exactly what you're up to and even better walk as you own the road. Never look lost! The moment you look lost, you attract all scammers like a lamp does with moths.

ขอให้แท๊กซี่และรถตุ๊กๆ ทั้งหลาย จงรับรู้และอย่าได้กระทำเยี่ยงนี้เลย เพื่อภาพพจน์ที่ดีของประเทศเรา

As someone who visited Bangkok for a month in November of 22' I definitely recommend using the local trains as they are inexpensive and safe. In terms of apps Grab works well for prepaid prices and local food deliveries. Your best options are to speak with locals (who will always be willing to help) and avoid the major tourist areas who are clearly selling overpriced goods. I never experienced any scams personally and felt very safe in Bangkok. Do your homework and research your destination before you travel.

Thanks Cal. My son (23 years old) is in Thailand now. Of course, as soon as I saw your video, I sent this to him. I hope to buy you a beer someday soon.

A few years back, I was approached by a well dressed Thai guy outside Erawan shrine. In his getting to know me spiel, he showed me a photo from his wallet of him with a famous snooker player from my country UK. Was in the 1990s so no smartphones or internet. I didn’t fall for his shopping scam, but later I checked up about the photo of him with Steve Davis, the world champion snooker player at the time. Turned out to be the Madam Tussauds wax model

taxi = bring smaller notes - 2 times going to the airport ( the fee is around 250- 300 b from airport to downtown in a proper metered taxi ) i handed them a 500 baht note and both times got told " i have no change " expecting i would just say keep it - well i stood my ground both times and both times the driver had a wad of cash on him to cover any change - after i waited him out and demanded my change back

Lots of scammers in Thailand for sure...some are police protected.

Give a serious eyeball look,
a firm NO
and keep walking.
Don't let them touch you.
