    • Unless you are going to Phuket to buy a Timeshare, just beware of the couples on motos who pull up and ask if you speak English (most of the time they are English themselves, though can be any nationalities).

    They won't tell you that they are anything to do with timeshare, sometimes they say its a survey, or they will give you a scratchie card (and of course you will win something).

    The main aim is to get your contact details and the name of your hotel etc so you can then be contacted to attend the hard sell presentation etc.

    We just say to them as soon as they pull up, we dont speak English, smile and keep walking haha.
