To all Tourists planning to visit Thailand. Scams, Touts, petite crimes are all round everywhere.

Had been visiting many provinces in Thailand for the past 20 years, I found Thailand are much much safer than “other” countries I’d visit. Just practice normal common sense will be okay.

Just go and enjoy Thailand! Just a friendly NO THANKS to all touts, and don’t speak to strangers BUT just give them a friendly smile. Do and don’t be paranoid everyone’s gonna scam you. You’ll be fine!!!

Some great advice in this post. Definitely be aware that ripping off tourists is a full time job for a lot of people – not just a hobby!

Most of the scammers around the Grand Palace and other tourist areas are in fact Burmese. Us Brits set up a good school system there and they learn good English. Any Thai that could speak English that well would be in a well paid job.

I live here and love it, my Thai friends are annoyed by these scammers. Obviously gives the country a bad name. of course there are Thai scammers too but not so many and not so slick.

Hope this helps you to have a different idea about Bangkok and Thailand,

best wishes, Howell
