Tours - unscheduled shopping stops: Tour that cost extra.
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • I don't know whether this should be regarded as a tourist trap. First we supposed to go floating market in the morning. This tour is supposed to cost 850baht including afternoon rose garden. However, the tour guide will say that there is a lot of time in between and will take us to elephant ride and snake farm for 700baht extra. Actually, there is a tour inside the agency which cost 950baht total for all this (A 600baht extra per person!!!). It is hard to say no since the whole group seemed to be ignorant of the matter and all agree to go.

  • The airport departure tax cost 500baht per person. It is a must to buy. Haha I wonder what will happen to those who do not have the money to buy it. In some countries like Singapore, it is included in the airticket already.

    Tourist Trap: Remember to bargain at shopping center
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Remember to bargain hard at shopping center like small shops inside MBK. I wanted to buy a photo album and the shop quotes me 850 baht. I bargained and got it for 800 baht. Was shock to see the same time at weekend market for 400 baht!!!
