The classic scam is the jewellery scam. Watch out for tuk-tuk drivers who tell you the attraction you want to go to is closed (it's generally not) but they will take you to another one istead (normally a jewellery shop they get commission from). Others may even refuse to take you where you want to go unless you agree to visit a the above mentioned jewellery shop. My travel mate decided she wanted to check out some earrings, and would not hear the word scam - so we were taken to a jewellery shop. She ended up buying a pair of golden earrings - not even too cheap - and decided to wear them the same evening. needless to say she got an infection - hence golden my a**! Should you want to buy jewellery, go to an approved thai gem and jewellery trader association shop: you'll pay more, but you'll at least get what you pay for

This warning is especially for guys - the spiked drink trick. I travelled a few days with a guy from israel who got his drink spiked by two ladies (teachers they said) that he had met while visiting a temple in Bangkok. Afterwards they went for an innocent drink together, then he invited them to dinner... While eating something was poured in his drink, the guy fell asleep and when he woke up the following morning, in a dodgy guesthouse, all his money and camera had vanished... and so had the ladies

Nice pages, you have some amazing photos of Wat Arun in your travelogue, I like the different angles. Bangkok's beauty is not obvious at first but slowly you discover all it's treasures. Greetings from Canada, Anita | yen_2 Wed Apr 2, 2003 10:54 UTC
