Fake International Police and other Bangkok, Thailand Warning Or Danger Tips

If you encounter anyone who claims he's International Police and tries to rip you off some money by pointing your pocket and asking "what's in your pocket" if you reply "my money ofcouse" he would ask "show me"

You don't have to do anything he orders,Just tell them "Sorry I don't believe you" and just walk away as soon as possible.If he's still bugging you by trying to take you to "Police Station" DONT pay attention at them.Just looking for police in uniform around there if possible and tell them what happened.Otherwise just tell those guys that you will call Tourist Police to check his ID that it's real or fake.(and ofcourse it doesn't even exist)

These people they're not even Thais.(In his card says "Turkish" but anyway you can't believe anything) These people are real trouble.Government don't even have a clue that this kind of people exist and I don't know how many tourists they've rip off them already.

They will try ask if you use drugs or stuff like that.Don't waste your time.Walk to most crowded areas as soon as possible and if they still wanna take you to police station.You might say "yes" BUT ONLY IF YOU WHO CHOOSES A POLICE STATION and ofcourse they won't go with you.It seems they work as teamwork.While one guys is trying to make a trouble with you,other one is waiting on his motorbike as they could run away anytime.

I was quite shocked to hear this story from my Belgian friend.(he encountered ones near Siam BTS station) So,becareful.

I'm not being cruel. But 80% (or more) of beggars you see in Bangkok are from neighborin country of Thailand. Some were sold by their families some agreed to be sold to become beggar in Bangkok. Because it means $2000 (yes, US dollars) they can make each month. (per head)

I know they look so sad and you feel sorry for them. So do we but giving them money is making the 'agent' rich and richer. This money never go to their family more than a few thousands Baht a month some never got any money at all. The "Agent" keeps it.

Everyday they go to change those coins at 7-eleven and the cashier told the reporter that this woman came to change coins to notes 4-5 times a day everyday.

Thais usually give little money to beggars (1-5 baht) but some tourists cry when they see those beggars and finally give them 100 baht note. This kills them afterward.

If you really wanna give. Give them food or clothes or anything else not the money.

You don't wanna hear that some kids were kidnapped and being cut off legs or arms so they look more 'sorry' which means it will make you weep more and they'll get more money.

Anyway there're also other type of beggars some that we all "Vaniphok" those they sing or play music to earn their liviing. This is different case.

How to define which are just 'beg for real' or 'being forced to beg' ?

Some deformed ones they come to drop them somewhere in the morning and pick them up later in the evening.

Mother and a baby. Some are real mother and child(but also work for agent) but some of them they rent that poor baby from someone else. Most of this "mother and a baby" type .. is just WRONG. Don't give any money..please

Don't fall for this. Safe them by not giving money. Spread the words, Thanks
