As a Thai this is so embarrassing for me. I’m studying in New Zealand and my teacher was telling everyone in the front of class about his story in Thailand that he has been scammed in Thailand.
@@JesseStLouis That is right. The important thing is that you should do research on the area to avoid scammers wherever you are. There are a lot of friendly people everywhere like. You are so kind to educate us wherever you go.
I know that "policeman". He "works" for several tourist traps around Bangkok. He works in the area around the royal palace for the most part. He managed to push an expensive river trip on me some years back. 😂
I'm Thai Tuk tuk also scamed me. He charged me for 100 bath with only 5 minutes. I told him the way to go, but he didn't listen to me. He drove too far away, and lied me that I hadn't said anything or he hadn't heard what I had said. Actually, he knows where to go.
Just base on my experience….. I am a Filipino. My husband is a Korean. The tactics I have and it absolutely work -- 💯 %. Everytime we ride a taxi…. We pretend that I don’t know my family and they kept their distance with me. And when I flag down a taxi, I spoke my native tongue and absolutely verify to the driver….. we use the meter , no additionals. And he agreed. I called my family hiding and/or just keeping their distance. No hassles….. The other one is…. when we go to local market or souvenir shop…. I always kept my distance as if, I don’t know my own family…. so, I can hear easily what they wanted to buy and the price of the goods. And then, I asked few items but make sure that the item that my family wants to buy is within those choices. And OMG 😆!!! You can see the faces, when they found out we are one whole family and they are trying to scam my husband and my children. They stutter…. they sweat…. and suddenly they look pale…… I always advice all my Korean friends the same thing when they go to Philippines. Well …. all countries have scammers right??? Agreed?? And this is how my family deal with it. Always, whenever you go to abroad, if possible have someone that can be trusted to protect you from scammers that is native to that country.
I speak fluent Thai. I love walking past the tourist scam hotspots, listen to their sales pitch, then i blurt out in Thai "sorry, you can't scam me today"....politely of course 😉
@@nerd6287 yes mate i lived there 16 years and we still have a business there. Never did any lessons just slowly picked it up. Breaks down a lot of barriers!
Speaking Thai tends to scare off most of those who wish to scam you having said that some still try. My best advice is to ignore anyone who approaches you just say thank you and hopefully they will stop. I tend to just avoid any tourist areas so never have had many bad encounters. Don,t be afraid to say no, no, and no. No one is holding a gun to your head always remember that. The majority of Thais are good people and will never harm you.
Uggggg things I will miss about the pandemic. All the meters on the taxis magically started working. And the Tuk tuks were suddenly affordable and these scammers were nowhere around. The meters are broken again and the scammers are back.
That guy in blue with the fake badge was the same guy that confronted us exactly 15 years ago using his same tactics. Surprised he’s still not caught. Do something Thailand. My wife hates that area and Bangkok now because of this bad experience
We got ripped off by taxi drivers, taking us all over the place, when the hotel was just five minutes away from the airport, also remember getting hustled by a taxi driver , who was looking for suckers, on the ferry from phi phi to kho lanta! Thailand is a beautiful place, just have to be careful!
I took a Tuktuk and he said 200baht. Took me somewhere else and demanded 2000baht to bring me back. Also tried to take me into some shady area... If you want to go around the city take a normal taxi and demand the meter, or take public transport. It's not that complicated and the instructions and apps are available in English. Tuktuks are expensive entertainment for tourists. You can take them for fun but don't expect them to be the cheaper alternative. Also, some drivers might be out to scam you.
Tips for anyone in the comment section who wanna visit Thailand (after covid): I don't recommend you to use a taxi you see in tourist spots aka scam taxi 😕 instead, try to use the uber (I recommend bolt, indriver, and grab). Also, avoid the café or the nice-looking restaurant that has a foreign language menu and try out street food or local market food. I'm pretty sure you gonna save a lot and get even a better experience. 🤞😃
Uber sold to grab in thailand Side note on their 2000 Bahy comment, I had after hour taxi (no need to use tollway, but we did) from suvarnabhumi to krungthep wing shangrila bangkok .....25 and 50 for tolls, 340 baht for taxi itself
@@75ur15 That's fair price for Taxi, Grab. But for airport to shangri-la If you want to save money I recommend using public transport like BTS and a little walk i would cost no more than 100 baht. Btw how was your experience in shangri-la hotel?
@@nerd6287 flight landed just before midnight so taxi was it, used bts/rail link the other times. Second one I've stayed in (Sydney Australia 1 night) , and the best I can say, 1) i prefer the krungthep side just for bts/water taxi access, I regret choosing a room with meal not noting that likely the same room was available for much less, and for recommendation I've already booked it again for me (and my nephew this time) on the krungthep side in a water view room....doesn't mention balcony like the first; but it seems to have one in pictures. Best recommendation is one I'd do again, and I'm definitely going back (chiang mai shangrila also, in addition to a return to hotel indigo phuket) 5/2022 Tldr I just reread that and it wasn't entirely clear, I would recommend any shangrila I've been to if you are OK with the steep price. Can stay in thailand at 5 star hotel for 3 Star usa prices.
Yes there are some bad taxis and some good.the one i used was relation of thai girl i know.he was lovely gentleman take us everywhere .he had photo i.d and phone number in his taxi. But if you are falang on your own be careful.
Best protections from scams is being with a local. Get a local tour guide. Precovid I would go to Bangkok for work 3 times a year. I speak fluid Thai and do have a lot of local friends. It's funny to me when a scammer tries on me when I'm alone. I usually let them do their thing then just start talking Thai.
Been to Thailand a few times now so very clued up on the majority of scams. This video was amazing, especially that woman with the elephant pants 😂😂 well played guys!
The comment to the guys selling suits is funny as. I overheard a guy say something similar in Bali, Indonesia a few years ago. But he pointed to a model and said how much for him? Made my day haha.
I too got duped by a tuk-tuk driver sitting outside my hotel on my first trip to Thailand, 60 Baht " I give you tour of Bangkok" ...Took me to an overpriced ( but legit & clean) massage parlour & Thai restaurant l along with the customary tailor shop. Next time around, I found a more honest tuk tuk driver who I let know upfront what I did & did not want to see. He spent 4 hrs with me & didn’t go off trying to squeeze in small jobs here & there while waiting for me outside Siam Paragon / MBK center, so I paid him accordingly well. Gave him 650 THB and I could see he was surprised and appreciative of what I gave him. Kept his number and called on him again on my last visit. Now that I know my way around the city, I just simply use the BTS or metro to get to where I want.
Thanks bro, I was very unaware of these scams. I can’t believe that this guys put so much effort to scam us Westerners, so in case I go to Asia I am aware of these scams. Great video bro keep it up.
I wonder how many tourists in the year traveling all over the world get scammed and that’s why it’s good to travel in packs even with someone we know that knows the language of the country we are visiting so we can be aware at all times when it comes to scams and theft.
Knowing the language isnt the biggest issue, but knowing the habits of a country does help you better. Thailand is known as 'the land of smiles', that is not without any reason!
Literally just ran into this same guy yesterday. He is still out there, scamming with his badge. Just tell him you know him from RUclips. Once I said that, he walked away immediately.
i was scammed in Thailand last month . They pointed a knife on me , got my wallet with all my dollars ...i was traumatized....I left Thailand 2 days after and never will come back...
(Just some translation for those who are curious) 5:00 - "hey hey can you take them to these places" "oh yeah can do 3 people 300thb" "no it just 2 so 200 thb" "oh ok" 13:25 - this guy did not know English so he asked if you can speak thai
I was scammed by Thailand company and sent a lot of money but it comes out that they are cheating.And im searching how to catch that scammer unfortunately i dont know how to find a way.
5:04 He tells the driver to go to Wat Saket first. That's the Golden Mount temple. Seems like the Lucky Buddha changes each time. Then he says go to the "Thai Export Center" (which doesn't exist), but the driver knows where it is, so he's in on the scam.
I want to add some extra to this. Don't step into tuktuk's and taxi's that are waiting. Get an actual driving taxi at the road. For tuktuk, get your price first as they don't have a meter. Mostly these are not the scammers. Will they not use the meter, then get the next one, there are plenty. Also tuktuk and taxidrivers offer you cheap rides to several places such as a boat tour, say, very cheap price for the taxi ride, but the boatticket cost a lot. They will get commission. During normal days most temples and palace will be open. Never get angry in the country of the smiles as Jesse St. Louis did. They made a joke and/or handled it with being polite. You don't want to fight lots of Thai, so no drama and not make their face not look bad. You don't want to go home in a wooden box. And always have the Tourist Police telephone number with you.
Just keep flagging down taxis until you find one that agrees to use a meter. Or take a bus or train, they are very cheap and can be found on Google maps navigation.
Omfg you guys are so funny but it's good to know that about these scams as many people may not know a out these you mentioned any single men for Jason spilt my coffee on that ☕🤣👍
Hey mate, you try and live on $2 an hour. It's poor people trying to survive, with no help from the government, and jobs that pay peanuts for people labour. If you were born in Thailand, you would be the same
I had been scam by an old lady opposite the temple..it’s a small garden where I sit and suddenly an old lady appears and force me and 2others to take a packet of bird food whereby you can buy a packet at thb 10 each. Then the old lady ask us to give it to the birds around to eat. Without any suspicious we just tear up and throw to the birds. After that the old lady came to ask money. I give thb 100 but she say a packet cost thb 1000. We argue and somehow suddenly appear a few muscular guys came to us and wanted to beat us so without wanting any problems I had no choice but to pay thb 3000 to them. So next time do not take anything from them will save you.
Two questions to watch out for. Where you come from and how long you stay in Thailand. These are questions to size you up. See how much you know and rich or poor country.
@@JesseStLouis Damn I'm in Kansas City, Missouri. Home of the Chiefs and Royals. That was Terrific Content. We need more Safety Videos like that From your neck of the woods in the Louie ville lol
lol Bangkok scammers wont even know what hit them after you guys roll through.:) Butch Casity and the Sundance Kid:) and Anny Okley covering your back.:)
Same thing happened yesterday to us.. 1 gentle man came to us and said this time closed for tourists only after One hour.. till then let's go for boat ride n send us to other direction 😱😱 we fooled by so called teacher.. on the way.. . Tuk tuk also was stand by there. ..
The lucky Buddha is different than the leaning Buddha. At the lucky one you’ll meet the Thai tourist that speaks perfect English, usually talking business on the phone to someone, but he will take the time to tell you about this amazing gem sale, only today on this special holiday…. I love a listening to a good scam. At the tailor store the Indian chap got very angry and told me I have to buy. I told him that I would call my brother/in-law who works for the Thai tourist police, he told me to get out, and looked very worried after that. I tipped the tuktuk driver and said that this was for the entertainment he had supplied
True, but after that being polite might save your ass. Never get angry and make their face look bad. Worst thing that can overcome them AND you if you do so.
@@chris1978nl some Thai guy walked up to me and starts yelling that have been fined 500 baht while he is sticks his bogas badge six inches from my face is a form of assault. I have no reason before, during or after to be polite. I pushed his badge back into his face. If you had been there that is your right to show weakness and be polite. As for me, I will never be polite to someone who violates my personal space. Just saying.
This happen to me yesterday..guy direct me to expensive clothing store own by middle Eastern then motorcycle guy waited for us outside to take us to River lol .
Use bolt app for taxis. You can choose to pay cash and it's the same price for everyone. Also you can get food delivery too. Learn to say no. Always get a price beforehand. I'm here right now. Some people are being so nice for repeat business. Others want a big one time payoff.
Djeesus! :) you guys are good. 555 i never see that in Bangkok. well at tourist areas the meter is sometimes broken. Just change taxi, make them stop in the middle of the road.
Jesse do you know a american cowboy? Take him with you and go with the scammers on their route. It would be the perfect insane history of the year. I swear!!!! Jason Rupp?
even if they use the taximeter , theres a new video going around where the meter runs up verry fast , seems they found a way to raise the price per distance using a small switch near the steeringwheel , the man recording the video was caught recording it by the driver who switched the fast mode off immediately so even on the meter keep an eye on it to check how fast its running up and keep youre camera in youre hands just in case , allso make a picture of the licenceplate and the face of the driver
Met a tuk tuk driver at Phanfa Bridge, around the time of the Kings Funeral, I was going to Khao San Road, and I had a map. Very hard to shake him off, but I didn't take the bait.
One tip. I was smart t shirt (polo shirt) smart 3/4 length shorts.my thai friend she says " yes you are ok" but some have to cover, it is true but you do not pay for pants.! For me temples never any problem.

How do you get a Taxi if they will not use the meter?
Just keep flagging down taxis until you find one that agrees to use a meter. Or take a bus or train, they are very cheap and can be found on Google maps navigation.

So how do you get around if you essentially can’t use taxis?
You can use taxis, but just insist they use the meter before they start driving. Also the buses and trains are extremely convenient and affordable.
They also have GRAB which is like their version of UBER
EXCELLENT Video
🙌🤙thanks

lol Bangkok scammers wont even know what hit them after you guys roll through.:) Butch Casity and the Sundance Kid:) and Anny Okley covering your back.:)
Lol
Slick scammers, they make me laugh 😆. It amazes me how you can smile at someone and screw them over at the same time.
The best scammer is the one who doesn't let you know that you're being scammed
Same thing happened yesterday to us.. 1 gentle man came to us and said this time closed for tourists only after One hour.. till then let's go for boat ride n send us to other direction 😱😱 we fooled by so called teacher.. on the way.. . Tuk tuk also was stand by there. ..
I'm so sorry to hear that
Very informative. You have the right to remain silent,you have the right to an eternity etc.😂😂

The lucky Buddha is different than the leaning Buddha. At the lucky one you’ll meet the Thai tourist that speaks perfect English, usually talking business on the phone to someone, but he will take the time to tell you about this amazing gem sale, only today on this special holiday…. I love a listening to a good scam. At the tailor store the Indian chap got very angry and told me I have to buy. I told him that I would call my brother/in-law who works for the Thai tourist police, he told me to get out, and looked very worried after that. I tipped the tuktuk driver and said that this was for the entertainment he had supplied
Great insights!! Next time I'm gonna go with the flow and film each step of the scam
1ST TIME BEING ON THIS CHANNEL AND I LIKED IT
NEW SUB @JSL👍👍👍👍
Thanks!! Welcome to the party 🥳🙏

I just keep walking and ignore the badge and the sales pitch. Being polite to scammers is taken as a sign of weakness.
True, but after that being polite might save your ass. Never get angry and make their face look bad. Worst thing that can overcome them AND you if you do so.
@@chris1978nl some Thai guy walked up to me and starts yelling that have been fined 500 baht while he is sticks his bogas badge six inches from my face is a form of assault.
I have no reason before, during or after to be polite. I pushed his badge back into his face.
If you had been there that is your right to show weakness and be polite.
As for me, I will never be polite to someone who violates my personal space.
Just saying.
This is why I stay home and watch RUclips.
🤣
This happen to me yesterday..guy direct me to expensive clothing store own by middle Eastern then motorcycle guy waited for us outside to take us to River lol .
Do you know what is was or were you caught off guard?
Good video 😀
🤙thanks John
You guys are hillarious! xD
🤣🤙
Use bolt app for taxis. You can choose to pay cash and it's the same price for everyone. Also you can get food delivery too. Learn to say no. Always get a price beforehand. I'm here right now. Some people are being so nice for repeat business. Others want a big one time payoff.

Djeesus! :) you guys are good. 555 i never see that in Bangkok. well at tourist areas the meter is sometimes broken. Just change taxi, make them stop in the middle of the road.
Jesse do you know a american cowboy? Take him with you and go with the scammers on their route. It would be the perfect insane history of the year. I swear!!!! Jason Rupp?
Trust me...their meters are not broken. Never get in a taxi until he agrees to use the meter.
Hahaha, thank you. I got 2 scams last year :)
Now I know it was really scam.
🤣🤙
Thanks for the warnings!
No problem
even if they use the taximeter , theres a new video going around where the meter runs up verry fast , seems they found a way to raise the price per distance using a small switch near the steeringwheel , the man recording the video was caught recording it by the driver who switched the fast mode off immediately so even on the meter keep an eye on it to check how fast its running up and keep youre camera in youre hands just in case , allso make a picture of the licenceplate and the face of the driver
Whoa, that's nuts
I found that most of the scammers are not Thai citizens, but rather from Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and even from Myanmar.
Interesting
Always get a “taxi meter”, metered taxi. Tuk Tuks are unmetered and dangerous but always worth a ride for the thrill!
No map he started laughing hard. In his mind he saw Bhat
2 thousand baht for a taxi ride is a terrible price for any place you probably went to. 500 baht at most
Yep
How old is that Police ID and where did he get it from? Looks like something from the 1970.
Met a tuk tuk driver at Phanfa Bridge, around the time of the Kings Funeral, I was going to Khao San Road, and I had a map. Very hard to shake him off, but I didn't take the bait.
This looks like important information to know in your video.
One tip. I was smart t shirt (polo shirt) smart 3/4 length shorts.my thai friend she says " yes you are ok" but some have to cover, it is true but you do not pay for pants.! For me temples never any problem.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks great hilarious !
