Hi Arsen, yet another video worth watching, however people are creative these days so I'm sure they will come up with new scams.. please keep us updated. Can you find out about some hotel scams? I'm sure tourists must be getting scammed specially in budget hotels.. Ex- loosing valuable items
Roaming used to be very expensive. Hundreds of dollars. Now its affordable so I never buy a new Sim. I also have a secondary cheaper phone with no other apps in case I need a local SIM or where my roaming does not work.
Scammers come up with new scams daily and the public has to beware and exercise caution at all times. Basically, don't easily trust anyone from unknown sources especially when visiting new places/cities. At the same time, stay alert to pickpockets etc. Try not to show off your wealth and wear simple.
the texting scams has gotten in the US as well. They appear to be from known companies but when you click on the site they as you for a bunch of stuff or if you reply to it they can get your data
@@stephanmaritz3924 depends who your network is most are good at blocking or idcating its spam. But they're from foreign countries so it's harder to crack down
Amazing, which Ideas they create to scam you, the parcelstory with a Link SMS we had also in 🇩🇪, never ever Klick on it, thanks for your advice, stay safe 🙏🇹🇭
Be firm. Tell them that you will pay exactly what is on the meter. No tip and not 1Baht extra. It's amazing how quick the meter recovers. If all else fails stop and get out. There are hundreds of taxis around and remember that the cheapest kilometers are included in the 40 Baht start price.
You are gem 💎!! Always support you and your channel!! The more i watch your videos 📸 the more i got inspired!! Thanks Sir ☺️!! 🧿 Once i be in Thailand My wish to meet you once , i hope you don't mind it ?? ☺️ so much informative, this really help me so many things about Thai !! Thanks Sir ☺️ keep growing!!! stay safe !!
Nice work Arsen. Re sms scams, do the mobile providers 'protect' your data or "on sell". Spent 3 months in Thailand last year. Would pay monthly mobile bill at 7-Eleven. Didn't have any faith 7-Elven would protect personal details (also paid in cash). Simply didn't answer any calls or sms.🙏
I didn’t get my sim at the airport in January because I wanted the eSim from AIS. Got my eSim at the AIS at the Villa Market. No unwanted calls or messages from scammers thankfully. I’ve heard about getting the scams from sims bought at the airport for some reason.
@@Buttercup553 I haven’t dealt with 7/11 sims because my phone cannot use physical sims. Strictly eSIM for my phone. I’ve heard 7/11 is a good place to get a SIM card at good prices.
Question, i was walking in Bangkok and a friendly girl stepped up to me and explained to me about child abuse and that the government is not doing much about it. Sadly i forgot the organization she worked for, but ok, child abuse is a sad well known problem and so I was thinking, because she also made selfies with other foreign people, ok, let`s donate 500 baht. Well, to my surprise you can only donate if you start with 2000 baht. So my reaction is, ok, listen, every small donation will help you, but that was not possible, only from 2000 baht or higher. For me it looks if she working for a real agency who really cares about child abuse, but i have still my doubt of this was a scam or not. Maybe worth to also check this out, because i did see more girls on different places exactly do the same things, targeting foreigners to listen to the same story. I don`t say that it is a scam, but just the, you can only help me when you donate 2000 baht was for me a no go.
obvious scam,buddy. holy crap. ive never heard any charity organization making a minimum donation of 2000 baht. i bet that money is going straight into her pocket. LOL!
The last time I was in Bangkok I decided to revisit the Grand Palace. I came across this scam. The guy tried to tell me the Palace was closed that day because of a special ceremony that was taking place. Ignored him walked up to the entrance payed the entrance fee and entered.
These internet scams are very common in India. Recently in Pattaya I asked by an Indian that he want to make a call to his mother and if I can give him Hotspot and I refused. After 5 minutes I see him with 5 more Indian friends chatting and enjoying. I wonder why didn't he asked his friends for Hotspot or why he just doesn't go to a coffee shop, massage etc where they provide free wifi
This is also happening at the airport..they don't want to turn on the meter and charge a flat rate of 500 Baht to hotel in Chit Lom area. And from hotel to airport is the same, the taxi will say they cannot get a customer after they drop you at the airport, so is 500 baht too. These is spoiling the image of Thailand and the Government should do something about this.
Thank you for this update Arsen. Some of these taxi drivers must think people are brain dead to fall for that old chestnut of 'ohh the meter has just broken down! :-). On the other hand is it possible to doctor a meter so that is shows inflated charges?
Love to see your happy face. Is there any number in thailand bkk pattaya where I can call and report the SMS and Call Scams .. I know they might not look in to it but for the record if I would want to report these online mobile scams where would I be reporting them to? I am not asking just you know... just saying
Lol that second scam happened to my mum and dad. It was fine as they just got driven around for a bit and then returned with no problems, but I was a bit surprised that they fell for it.
Hi Arsen. Very useful videos. Thanks a lot for your work and time. Btw: When is best time for visiting Thailand? May be next year, I will have the opportunity to visit Thailand in February or March.
The best time to visit Thailand is when your time and budget blend! But the time you were thinking about will be fine. The main thing is to be careful and have a good time. 👍
It's always a best time to visit Thailand, but I'd we talk about seasons November to February hight season March to may hot season June to July low season, good but rainy season September to October the most rainy season So choose the best for u
I got scammed at Krabi Resort 232 aonang beach, Tambon Ao Nang, Muang Krabi 81180, Thailand. Our bedsheets and pillow covers at Krabi Resort were stained and we were asked to pay for it during checkout 2 days later when we had no time to dispute it as we had to catch a flight!
Just got scammed by ifc suits. A tuk tuk driver took me around to all the places i wanted then brought me there. I am such an idoit and cant believe i fell for it. I should have trusted me gut and not bought them but i wanted some nice clothes and jumped at the opportunity to buy some tailored suits. I only hope now that they send me something...
@@LiveLoveThailand it's OK at the end ok the day it won't break me nor the bank. And I got out of there in one piece with a hit to my dignity. And now I'm more educated in buying suits
Yep, this scam has existed for yrs. Saw the same guy outside Grand Palace two yrs. in a row, perhaps 2004 or so promoting his buddies tuk-tuk. The second yr. I told him I worked at the school across the street (fib) and he changed his tune right away. lol
If you get scammed in Thailand, get reported to the police. So he won't go do it with other people. or the agency that has the number attached in the taxi He will no longer work.
Roaming used to be very expensive. Hundreds of dollars. Now its affordable so I never buy a new Sim. I also have a secondary cheaper phone with no other apps in case I need a local SIM or where my roaming does not work.
Good morning from Kota Kinabalu Sabah Malaysia. I tend to visit Bangkok with my family but i need infos regarding the various scams & trickters that are targeting tourists which is rampant in Thailand. Who say other places are safe but Bangkok are full of them. Thus your tips are very helpful and hope to see & seeking your assistances when we are in Bangkok. Looking forward to visit Bangkok Thailand tq

Thank you for the tips. Your channel is one of the best about Thai visits. ✌️
Thank you for information , you,re the best.
Another marvellous video as always. Keep up the good work 😉
Thanks again!
Very helpful thanks! Tourists visiting for just a few days can probably buy a roaming pack & avoid buying a new sim.
Good idea!
Roaming used to be very expensive. Hundreds of dollars. Now its affordable so I never buy a new Sim. I also have a secondary cheaper phone with no other apps in case I need a local SIM or where my roaming does not work.
Great tips again Arsen. Thank you !
Welcome Antonio
thank you so much with the latest update really give a lot banefit to me. looking forward to hear from your channel

I got a few messages within a couple of hours of buying sim card at Bangkok airport asking for charity donations. Got to be so careful. Thanks
Hehe yeh
Thank u Arsen..as always..ur very real..keep up

I got a call on my new SIM within an hour of purchasing it. They were asking funding for some charity. I immediately figured it out and cut the call.
It happens
Probably they are working with the place where you buy the sim card else how would they know that you have a new sim card.
Which sim company is the best deal and without connected scams ???
I use dtac and never had any problem. Just remember to refill to avoid disconnection. I refill 20 baht a month
@@Travel_Eyes
Plus internet ?

@@stephanmaritz3924 depends who your network is most are good at blocking or idcating its spam. But they're from foreign countries so it's harder to crack down
In India banks and the government regularly send us Sms and emails and advertise about not clicking on random links.

Good advice 👍many thanks, and do you think it’s wise to just arrive and choose a hotel you walk by😊 if you’re travelling light?
Could be if immigration don't ask your address 😃
@@LiveLoveThailand Good point thanks, I’m forgetting customs can ask where you’re staying
Hi, maybe you can recommend a boat tour in bangkok like i saw your video. The price was like 150bt per person.
use BTS to Sapham taksin station. there you can use tourist boat. 150 person per day per person
Next time!
The grand palace one happened to me, my first time in Thailand
Interestingly, when I was there in Nov 2022, the Grand Palace was really closed. It was because of SONA 2022.
😃
Thanks, Arsen.
very helpful video
Glad to hear that
I just take Grab, I'd rather not be scammed by anyone
How to know which one is official site ?
very useful video
When I visited this past September, every taxi driver turned off the meter and wanted a flat fee.
😃
This is also happening at the airport..they don't want to turn on the meter and charge a flat rate of 500 Baht to hotel in Chit Lom area. And from hotel to airport is the same, the taxi will say they cannot get a customer after they drop you at the airport, so is 500 baht too.
These is spoiling the image of Thailand and the Government should do something about this.
That’s why I use the Airport link 😅😅
@@klausw.5612 Me too.
question: even if the driver tells you that the meter is broken halfway to your place...what can you do at that point? thanks.
That won't happen once meter is on that mean no problem
When taxi moving, what do you do when told taxi meter is broken?
Get out and find another one.

Hi can you make a video about cheapest hotel at Nana
Alt hotel nana, is good and provides good breakfast
I would like to know, it's grab and drive-in apps available from Bangkok, Thailand. I like to use grap app for taxi and food in south east Asia.
Which sim card company is the best deal these days and less scams attached Arsen?
Thank you in advance
Thank you for this update Arsen. Some of these taxi drivers must think people are brain dead to fall for that old chestnut of 'ohh the meter has just broken down! :-). On the other hand is it possible to doctor a meter so that is shows inflated charges?
I don't think so 😃
Thank you for your wonderful suggestion but don't worry too much just alittle scam of them.
Thanks this video, very good ! 👌💪👏👏👏👏

Love to see your happy face. Is there any number in thailand bkk pattaya where I can call and report the SMS and Call Scams .. I know they might not look in to it but for the record if I would want to report these online mobile scams where would I be reporting them to? I am not asking just you know... just saying
with the scam when they put the meter on and after a little while say it is broken can you just leave the taxi abd pay what is on the meter
Just before you jump in say meter krap and he will know you are insisting that ... and all is fine
If grab fare is above 100 bahts they will come and pick you up otherwise they will decline your ride...I faced this issue as right now I am in Bangkok
Is there any taxi online like uber or grab which we can use instead of reguler taxi?
Use "Bolt"
Grab and Bolt in Thailand
I've used grab in Thailand.
So what happens when the taxi say the meter is broken in the middle of the ride? What do you do? Just get out?
good to know then again I never get a phone or a new sim because my carrier have 100 GB in Thiland so there is no need.
..ขอบคุณที่แจ้งเบาะแสเรื่องทั้งหมดนี้ต้องได้รับการแก้ไขโดยเร็วและตำรวจต้องเข้ามาแก้ไข...ขอบคุณมากค่ะ❤

@@davedaniels4967 like your thinking
It's always a best time to visit Thailand, but I'd we talk about seasons
November to February hight season
March to may hot season
June to July low season, good but rainy season
September to October the most rainy season
So choose the best for u
Pulic transportation such as public bus, BTS sky train, MRT and boat are working good for me. Ignore Tuktuk and Taxi, Simcard could buy at 7
The last one I had happen to me on your last video 🤣
😃
I got scammed at Krabi Resort 232 aonang beach, Tambon Ao Nang, Muang Krabi 81180, Thailand. Our bedsheets and pillow covers at Krabi Resort were stained and we were asked to pay for it during checkout 2 days later when we had no time to dispute it as we had to catch a flight!
That's really bad, sorry to hear that.
So what your saying is, do NOT take a taxi because the driver can say the meter stopped working while driving ?

The tuk tuk scam at Grand Palace is at least 15 years old because it happened to me there.
Yes but sanam chai station which is only 3 minutes walk from grand palace solved the problem which is new
Yep, this scam has existed for yrs. Saw the same guy outside Grand Palace two yrs. in a row, perhaps 2004 or so promoting his buddies tuk-tuk. The second yr. I told him I worked at the school across the street (fib) and he changed his tune right away. lol

Any time
If you get scammed in Thailand, get reported to the police. So he won't go do it with other people. or the agency that has the number attached in the taxi He will no longer work.
My husband and I are visiting Thailand in 2025...what is the reason for buying a sim card? Does your # stay the same?
Roaming used to be very expensive. Hundreds of dollars. Now its affordable so I never buy a new Sim. I also have a secondary cheaper phone with no other apps in case I need a local SIM or where my roaming does not work.
I don't think I ever saw so many elephant pants as in this video ;-)
