It's them knowing English in a place where very few people know it as well. It's sad but like you say majority are scammers but some do want to practice their English.
This is the most Glasgow thing I've heard. 'I knew it was a massive scam but I was enjoying it and as long as we don't get stabbed to death I'm all for it...it's only 50p'
I fell asleep in the back of a taxi in Dublin and my uncle saw him driving in circles round the hotel streets for 15 minutes before he eventually woke me up. I looked at my Google maps the next day and I'd managed 16 circuits.

Same thing here with me in Bangkok. Took me to the worst temple I've ever seen, which was completely deserted. But the suit man I was taken to was really quite intimidating and basically shouting at me for not wanting a suit. Did feel sorry for the tuktuk driver though; he must be constantly disappointed by these non-suit wearing westerners.
I love myself a bootleg market on holiday, nothing beats them trying to convince you the 2 pound Balenciaga's are real, Hashish bars charging you an arm an a leg are also a interesting experience to barter out of.
As a Thai, we don’t have government tuktuk in Thailand, they are all private. They should all have yellow plates, don’t trust what they say! Thai people from country sides have been scammed by these tuktuk drivers just like how foreigners have, thai people are all really fed up with the scammers. I recommend asking students or shopkeepers who won’t be able to get any benefits from your money.
Had the same, I haggled down the fare in return for going to the suit shop so he could get free fuel. The suit shop people were pissed because I wouldn't buy anything. Did they really think a man who wouldn't pay 50p more for his taxi is going to pay £2000 for his suit...
Arrived Mexico city in 2001. Bought a ticket for a taxi in the airport as it is advised to so as not to deal with scumbag taxi drivers. I presented my ticket t o a taxi driver outside who took my ticket and put my rucksack in the back of a taxi which already had 2 guys sat in it and a driver. They started arguing with him in Spanish so after a minute of this I got out and took my bag out of the back and said 'where is YOUR' taxi. I proceeded to put my bag in his taxi and just sat in it waiting for him. So he starts driving and for the 20 minute drive, he only said 2 things - "do you know anybody here in mexico" ("oooohhh yess" I lied - "my uncle"). Later he asked "is anybody expecting you at the hotel you are going to" ("oooooh yes" I lied - "my uncle is the manager there".)
Limmy, the same thing happened to me. "If you just go in I'll get my fuel." I guess the tailor didn't like the fact I said, "It's okay, I don't see anything I like," because his response was, "If you waste people's time like this someone will shoot you in the face." Totally deadpan.
Nobody: Limmy: "I needed a heal for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time"
I went on a similar scam tour in Bangkok about 15 years ago. In one temple we met a western guy who showed us a receipt from a jewelry shop where he has just bought all this gold stuff that he said he would sell in Europe for double the price. The next stop was the jewelry shop. I couldn't believe anybody would fall for it, but on the same holiday I met some people who did and ended up buying a load of fake stuff.
24k gold is actually pretty cheap in thailand and worth buying, they have a shit load of thai gold and it has no sales tax, they have very little reason to sell fake gold
I almost fell for exact same scam, but ended the tour after they took me to the 'golden buddha temple' which was just a hut on a school playground with shit buddha statues. Tuk tuk driver got super angry and started chasing after me.
Exactly the same thing happened to me in Phuket but after the taxi tour we got taken to a huge flashy jewellery super store, driver said same thing to us if he didn’t drop us there he wouldn’t get his commission. We had to walk through the whole store accompanied by someone else till we managed to escape out the other side. It was pretty funny. Loved Thailand tho, it’s an absolute blast.
Did the exact same tour when i was in Bangkok with some friends. A couple of them actually booked the train to ChangMai & it was legit! the tuk tuk driver treated us like royalty after that lol. even waited at the temple while we ate lunch then took us back to our hotel.
Exact same thing happened to me. I got drove around Bangkok and somehow found my stinky, long-haired backpacking pimply beanpole ass in the middle of a suit shop. Such an elaborate scam for someone who couldn't look less like they've ever worn a suit.
Had something very similar happen to us on our honeymoon in Bangkok. Had the very lucky line told to us too. Between every stop we had to go through a clothes or tourist shop. @limmy have you seen the video of the Thai jet ski scam?
I wonder if you actually buy the suit and left it in (you wouldn't want to carry a suit up the spiral stairs) if they still drive away and the suit gets hung back up in the shop.
fell for the same in 2012 only they said drivers could take you on the cheap tour as the government made fuel cheap for them during budhist holidays. very similar never felt at risk.
50 baht is about a quid these days and 500 baht is roughly a tenner. Of course 10 years ago there were much better exchange rates but not more than double.
It's a pity cus I've been to Thailand and found the people so helpful, genuine and friendly, not scammed once. One guy saw me limping with a cut on my foot, he cleaned and dressed it for me, another time my gf was very ill so and the whole street carried her to an off duty nurse who took us in her bike and side carriage to the hospital. The most loving genuine people I've ever met, give them something in return and they might take offense. I felt bad that we were spending what in their eyes is an obscene amount on food and accommodation etc when families there would live like kings for year on a weeks budget of the average western traveller. Just go with it, one man's scam is another's living.
this near enough happened to me and my misses back in 2018. A guy stopped us on the way to the palace. and said it was closed because it was a holiday. Even though we could see a massive queue. The guy was like.. "I know of a good boat tour you should go on. I'll get my mate to drive you there for free." I was like.... "... okay..." we jumped in. And I was whispering to my misses like.. "this is a fucking scam." We got to the boat tour thing and the guy showed me to prices. and they were ridiculous. like. 2000 bhat just to go over the river. I was like.. "oh yeah cool. What I'll do is go and get some money out and ill be right back." he was like.. "no no, you can pay us later. after the tour." and I was like.. "nah ill go get some money." he started to get angry. And got a bit pushy and I just kept really happy like.. "Nah man ill be right back..." and He looked so angry when I walked off. We just walked back to hostel. Took in some sites.
I'm 12 minutes in and just realised I got scammed in Thailand with my mates in 2017. Word for word same story even down to the boy reading the paper by the range rover who'd been to Newcastle uni. Outside the sleeping Buddha, nae palace because the Buddhist holiday, he telt us his maw was upstairs praying. We got in the Tuk Tuk after there and asked to go to the zoo, Tuk Tuk driver went mental and tried to batter us so we threw 200 baht at him and ran away. Zoo was class though. Ran there.
Exact same thing happened to me in Thailand, but it was a well dressed older guy. I immediately smelled a scam, so I tried to brush him off. That old guy tried to get me to take a taxi with him for a good 15 minutes before finally giving up. I kept my cool, but it was hard.
This exact scam happened to me too hahaha. I knew it was a scam but for some reason still went, I guess just to see what was going on since it was so cheap anyway. Best part was when he wrote everything down he didn't have any paper so he wrote it on a leaf. Very legit
Same kind of thing happened to my ex and I in Faro, Portugal. Booked a boat trip to visit little islands in the bay and turned out the skipper had the least seaworthy boat I've ever seen. We happened to go to the most expensive bars. At least the pitchers of sangria were cheaper than pints of beer so we got smashed but still. Looking back was a right laugh.
So why'd the tuktuk driver leave? I've heard of scams where the tuktuks at this new location are very very expensive. Was that it, or was he just fed-up/tired and left out of spite/annoyance?
This exact same scam happened to me, but the guy in the suit shop got super aggressive screaming at me " get the fuck out my shop " . It's was scary, literally my first day in Thailand alone😢
Got stopped at a blockade in chiang mai. Polis asked for 1000 baht. Told them I've only got 200 baht (200 baht is the actual cost of the fine). Cop says OK 200 is fine. Across the road a woman pulling out of maya shopping centre on their scooter got side swiped by a Ford ranger. Ford driver done the bunk, polis didn't bat an eye and just kept issuing the fines
These guys are still working off the same exact same script. Some guy tried it on with me a couple months ago in Bangkok. Walk away if you see/hear any mention of: 1 - The temple you want to visit is closed. 2 - You aren't properly dressed for where you're going. 3 - Special Buddhist holiday. 4 - Here's a written list of laces you want to visit. 5 - Potentially, maybe, if you feel like it you might want visit this clothing shop and look at suits.
There's a reason why he didn't say goodbye to you and went back to his newspaper. When someone lies, they do one of two things: they either over-act, or they stop moving. When someone lies, _there's always a sign._ Their whole body is shouting at you: _'I'm lying to you!'_ But you have to register the signs consciously. He didn't say goodbye to you, that was his way of unconsciously letting you know that he's full of shit.
We got caught up in the exact same scam… never made it to that palace yet 😤 These guys run a well greased operation… probably organised by the government or tourist board I would think
i'm very content with the fact that everyone in the comments got scammed as well. most "1st world" tourists deserve it. i'm with limmy on the make believe comparison with americans visiting glasgow.
The brother's clothes shop thing ticked you off because it was incongruent with all of the other stops on the tour. It's as if he was suggesting that you buy clothes from "his brother's shop". People do this a lot: they'll say things to see how impressionable you are to them, and then if they earn your trust they'll suggest more. This is why you should always be suspicious of people who are overly friendly/trying to earn your trust. If you're in a new job/situation/place where you don't know your way around, these lying scum leeches will glom to you and try and isolate you very quickly.
