Warnings Or Dangers: Persistent Tour Guides
  • Tip Rating:
  • As the majority of visitors to Thailand are going to take at least one organised trip be aware that the tour guides on the trip are all trying to make a decent living and many work on commission only so will do their best to get you to a jewelery factory and hope you buy something. After our Palace tour our guide asked if we wanted to go on a longboat trip on the Khlongs which we agreed to, but when we came back and got back into our minibus she said we were now going onto the gems factory. We said we didnt want to go but she said "you must. It is part of my job to take you there" .We said, very firmly, that if we had wanted to go there we would have booked it and NO WE DID NOT WANT TO GO! She became flustered and rang someone on her mobile and the driver seemed to be harrassing her. Finally we said we would get a taxi back to our hotel as we didnt like the idea of being taken somewhere against our will. It spoilt a really good day.
