What are the fraudulent means of tourism in Thailand? How to prevent Thailand tourism from being cheated?

In fact, there will be many fraud incidents in Thailand, so you must pay attention in Thailand. The following small series will introduce you to the places that need attention. The above are some common fraud methods, remember to guard against them in advance.

1, warm-hearted liar-jewelry store

Someone accosted you near the Grand Palace in Bangkok and told you that there were activities to go, but the door was closed. When you didn't know what to do, I kindly introduced you to other temples and called you a tuk-tuk car. Finally, you really went to a jewelry store. The opening hours of the Grand Palace are 8: 30- 15: 30.

2. Pigeon scam outside Bangkok Grand Palace

The corn grains fed to pigeons outside Bangkok Grand Palace are all for money. Don't pick it up. It costs money, usually 150 baht.

3. Black Shop Travel Agency

Heidian Chiang Mai Ha _ China Travel Agency, Address:

The street outside Tapemen Square in Chiang Mai faces north. As for this store, at first it was agreed that the shuttle bus would come to the hotel to pick up the plane, and then no one was seen after waiting for a long time. A few hours later, people said they couldn't leave because they broke something, and threatened local forces to demand compensation. I suggest you contact the embassy and call the police.

4. Taxi fraud

Taxis in Bangkok are cheaper, so drivers will make detours to increase their income. About ten baht to a hundred baht at a time. I suggest you ask the hotel owner to call a car for you.

5, all car fraud

Near the Palace and Jade Buddha Temple in Bangkok, some drivers will tell you that the Palace will be closed for one day for some reason, and then they will know that there is a good scenic spot nearby that can take you directly. Yes, the cost is about 50 or 100 baht. When we get to where we want to go, there are several more possibilities. First, if you want to go to the monk's residence to pray, your bags and things will disappear when you pray, and you will go to an art gallery and other places.

Mainly occurred in the Grand Palace, Jade Buddha Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple, National Museum, Siam Museum and other major attractions or museums. Everyone tried to ignore these drivers when they saw them.

6. Fraud in water activities

Water sports are the most easily ripped off. For example, after you rented a motorboat, they made people pretend to be careless, bumped into the car you were driving and left. So when I returned the car, I began to ask for it. In any case, it will make you snorkel. It makes sense anyway. Finally, you will pretend to be kind and cheap under your pleading.

It mainly happens in Pattaya and Phuket, which is about 20,000 yuan.

The best preventive method is to ask the tour guide to find a trusted boatman, and the tour guide will negotiate with you, or ask the boatman to send a beach boy to take you to the back seat, so that the accident is not your problem.

7. Massage fraud

The manager solicited customers at the door and told them that it used to be cheaper to spend 500 yuan an hour alone. Then when they arrive at the door, the manager will say to pay him first. After you have paid the money and enjoyed the massage, the proprietress will come to collect the money again. The staff here will not testify for you, but they will say that they think this is your tour guide or friend.

It mainly occurs in some busy lanes with more tourists along the MRT of Sukunyi Road in Bangkok. The main way of prevention is to choose a well-known regular massage shop, ignore the conversation of strangers, and pay after entering the store counter.
