There are so many scams in Thailand
that it seems like a national past time for some of the natives. From
the moment you cross the border into the country,
it seems like many
of locals are looking you up and down and licking their lips in
anticipation of relieving you of your hard earned cash. |
Many have fallen victim and many
have heard the stories...
| Stories of condo deposits/payments
being readily accepted and buildings never completed. Where is the
money? Poof! Gone.
Pissed away or used up with major purchases for
the scammer.
| Woeful tales of being charged for
alleged jet ski damage and being charged an extortionate amount for
repairs or face a beating by the jet ski workers.
And by the way,
while you are being beaten by the jet ski workers, there is a
distinct possibility that a passerby or two will give you a couple of
kicks too. Welcome to Thailand.
| You say you have a proper visa to stay
in country and that your paper work is perfect? Why-o-why are there
times when the immigration officer
will ask for a bit of cash to keep
things moving along. What the heck?
| Signed up for an internet service with
an advertised speed of 3M and only got dial-up speed equivalent circa
