Even though I wrote this tip years ago, I still see it happening on the streets in 2004, so please read the following:Bangkok's infamous gem scam has ruined the holidays of many, many visitors to Thailand and it is an important thing to be aware of beforehand if you want to avoid becoming yet another victim.
The scam is no secret - there's warnings about it in every guidebook and in posters put up around Bangkok by the Tourist Authority, yet many people are still caught unaware of it.
Though it does happen occasionally in other parts of Thailand, the vast majority of incidences take place in Bangkok.

Aukje, one cannot find more informative, accurate tips than these. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. The tips on dress codes and Thai culture are especially good. | pmarshuk Fri Apr 30, 2004 08:36 UTC
Great page on one of my favourite cities. I was there for part of Songkran last year and it was total madness - got soaked and covered in talcum powder just like you. | obiwanwasabe Sun Apr 11, 2004 07:19 UTC
It's a long time since I visited Bangkok, I found the best way into town from the airport was by train and then tuktuk, nice accurate pages they bring back some memories for me... Nick |
