    In this Vlog we show the good and the bad, so the idea is to prove that not everyone is a scammer ,and most of the taxis and tuk tuks are friendly and helpful.
    So hope the vlog was clear and helpful

    Yes, a Tuk Tuk might say 100 Bhat, but on the way to the various sites he will want to stop at a gem shop or a tailor shop as he will get "gas coupons" or such for bringing tourists. Even if you tell him you are not interested, he will insist. I had that happen and was so disgusted I left the Tuk Tuk, not knowing where I was. But it worked out as I learned how to use the river bus and after a 20-minute walk from where the driver made sure I got off, I was back at my hotel. So, to see if it is a scam or not you need to take the actual trip, not just take his word that he is "only" going to charge 100 Bhat and is not taking advantage of tourists.

      Thats exactly what happend to me with a taxi driver who became my friend. He explained that he’ll just take me there and he’ll get a gas coupon even if I dont buy so I agreed and we went to a few places, I spent a few minutes at each place and walked out without buying anything then I offered to buy him lunch lol. Fun experience 😁

      Well, it is a scam however only if you don't purchase anything along his scam route, you could get away with a 100 baht ride but highly doubt he would keep that price at the end if nothing was purchased along the way

    Even Thai I got scam too. Around 120THB from Tha Phrachan to MRT Sanam Chai(Wat Pho)(around 1KM). But I’m not too concern at that time because I’m hurrying to catch my train at Hua lumphong.

      You should use Grab which will cost you 10% more than the best price you would be able to haggle in 38 degree heat. IF you can't afford that you should not be visiting Thailand.

    In Thailand or VN.....before entering a taxi. I'll always mention my intended destination AND I'll ask, "Is the meter working?"
    If they respond with a story that the meter is "broken" or a set price. IMHO they are more than likely a scammer. If they respond with "It'll be about x." That's a good sign. BUT, be sure that they'll use the meter. WHY?
    Because, when you think about it. How is a tourist suppose to know, "What's a FAIR price"? Paying the meter price is IMHO.....FAIR. It's the "default" position. While working "off meter".....is not FAIR. The driver is trying NOT TO CLAIM PROPER income taxes and/or NOT having the Taxi Company know what's going on. A scammer move.
    In Thailand (or VN). I'm quite sure that the KING (or communist Govt, in VN) want's a fair share? So, if the driver is "working off meter". Isn't he/she actually cheating The KING (or Govt)? Oooops......
    That all being said....don't forget to TIP the honest ones.

    ราคาค่าโดยสารรถตุ๊กไทยขึ้นอยู่กับการเจรจา เราไม่มีทางรู้ได้ว่าราคาแท้จริงนั้นควรเป็นเท่าไหร่ แม้กระทั่งคนไทยอย่างฉันก็ไม่รู้ราคาแท้จริงถ้าไม่ได้ขึ้นประจำ แต่ถ้าตกลงราคากันได้ไม่ลงตัว โปรดเลือกรถโดยสารอื่นแทน แต่ถ้าตกลงราคากันเรียบร้อยแล้วตั้งแต่แรก เมื่อเดินทางไปถึงจุดหมาย คนขับรถกลับบังคับให้จ่ายราคาแพงกว่าเดิมโดยไม่ใช่ที่ตกลงกันไว้ตั้งแต่แรก คุณสามารถแจ้งให้เจ้าหน้าที่ตำรวจรับทราบได้โดยเบอร์โทร 1584 และถ้ารถตุ๊กนำคุณไปสถานที่อื่นที่ไม่ใช่จุดหมาย อย่างเช่นร้านขายของ เป็นต้น คุณต้องบอกรถตุ๊กว่าเราไม่ต้องการ แต่ถ้ารถตุ๊กยังคงไม่รับฟัง คุณต้องขู่ว่าจะแจ้งตำรวจ หรือไม่ก็คุณต้องใช้วิธีโวยวาย โดยคุณต้องโวยวายเสียงดังว่าจะแจ้งตำรวจ พูดคำว่าตำรวจให้ดังมากที่สุด (แต่ก่อนที่จะขึ้นรถโดยสาร กรุณาถ่ายรูปหน้าตาของคนขับรถโดยสารและหมายเลขทะเบียนรถเอาไว้ด้วย และถ้าเป็นไปได้ ควรจะอัดคลิปวิดีโอตอนที่เจรจาราคาค่าโดยสารเอาไว้ด้วย เพราะต้องใช้เป็นหลักฐาน)
    ฉันยอมรับว่าวิธีการนั้นยุ่งยากและเสียเวลามาก ดังนั้นถ้าเป็นไปได้โปรดขึ้นรถโดยสารแท็กซี่จะดีที่สุด แต่ถ้ารถแท็กซี่ไม่ยอมกดมิเตอร์เพื่อคิดราคาตามระยะทาง เราก็ไม่ต้องขึ้นรถแท็กซี่คันนั้น โปรดเลือกรถแท็กซี่คันต่อไปแทน
    ปัญหาเรื่องรถโดยสารเช่นนี้แก้ไขยากมาก เพราะส่วนใหญ่ผู้เสียหายไม่มีหลักฐานเพื่อดำเนินคดีและส่วนใหญ่ผู้โดยสารไม่อยากเสียเวลาเพื่อรอดำเนินคดี ตำรวจจึงไม่สามารถจับคนเหล่านี้ได้
