Micbozy Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 What is the normal rate to ride tuk-tuk? I had never heard rates less than 300THB for rides within downtown Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhounan Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Who damage the image of Thailand, is NOT the low class people. In the contrary, these People are the real Thais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how far you want to go, where you take it, how good you can negotiate and how good your Thai is ???? Expect to pay 2-3 times of what you would pay for a motorbike taxi.

BangkokBaksida Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well, as long as he cheated because he needed the money . . . It would have been inexcusable had he not needed the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToS2014 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 During my time in the land of smiles, I've come to the conclusion that all of my 'learning lessons', (scams or whatever you want to call them) are hasip hasip.....half come from the locals and the other half have come from 'us' truly worthy and trusting farangs. It appears to me that WE have taught them well.....and then opine when they do what we taught them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoon Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Here's a consolation folks: Got caught up in the jewelry scam in BK in 2010. Realised what was going on part way round and did a runner (speed march actually). Tuk-tuk driver never even got the "special tour 30baht" that he had expected to get, from me, after the scam was completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisperone Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I wish someone would turn in the IO at the airport that was reported on here the other day. The set up is bad cop/good cop...or bad IO, good IO. First female IO gives the guy a hard time about entries in to Thailand, then speaks to her compadre, bottom line...heres my phone number, next time Line me, pay me, and we will escort you right thru. Corruption at its best. But people don't report as it is Thailand, and it just goes on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyboy2018 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Rich Americans are ripped off all over the world. One idiot bought london bridge thinking he was buying tower bridge. These white, wealthy, entitled girls should have learned from the experience and not ratted out this poor guy. I really dont like this class of tourists. They make more in an hour than he makes in a day. As for the guide who caused the problem ..I bet he was rewarded financially or in other ways. These gringas were played.

Beggar Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 It is pretty normal that some locals will try to rip off tourists. Not only in Thailand. Some tourists are too naive and should better stay at home or only use group tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaitot Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 This is typical you really need to close all the loop holes when you negotiate with these guys. Oh sorry I told you 500 baht each or 500 baht each plus motorway or 500 baht plus luggage an additional 100 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
