    Scams and Conmen: Selling GEMS / JEWELRY on streets
  • Tip Rating:
  • If someone approaches you on the street offering to sell you something such as gems or jewelry, just smile and walk away. Go in a shop and buy them instead. They’re more likely to be genuine and you’ll probably get a better price.

     Patpong was great for the night market... and at first the "you wanna see smoking pussy" was amusing, but it did get the better of me. The markets are worth it though... great to read through your pages!!
