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

Very helpful thanks! Tourists visiting for just a few days can probably buy a roaming pack & avoid buying a new sim.

@jamessmith9946 Год назад

Good idea!

@notmyname8527 6 месяцев назад

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.

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.

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.🙏

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?

@LiveLoveThailand Год назад

I don't think so 😃

@globaltravelbuzz Год назад

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

@stevebourne9387 Год назад

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.

@ssllsg9439 Год назад

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!

Avoid going to Floating Market bangkok as its 2 hours drive from Bangkok city center..Taxi will charge you only 300 baths...but catch is at the floating market...minimum ticket price 3000 bahts to 5000 bahts per adult plus prices of the products at floating market are much higher than Bangkok Markets.

When I visited this past September, every taxi driver turned off the meter and wanted a flat fee.

@LiveLoveThailand Год назад

@peterwong1531 Год назад

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.
