10 Baht for an hour for Tuk Tuk and other Bangkok, Thailand Warning Or Danger Tips

If you're trying to get somewhere fast you may hear a tuk tuk driver say he'll take you where ever you want to go for an hour for 10 Baht. He gets a gas card stamp if he takes you to the jewlery place, or clothes place. If you have pleanty of time to kill, get as much touristy things like the temples/Wats as you can in. Don't feel like you have to buy anything if you are enjoying yourself. If they offer you a drink, it will be harder for you to leave without buying anything and without insult. More than once I was told I was cheap and to leave after not wanting to buy a suit.

If you've got thick skin I found it was a great way to see the city for really cheap, we saw most of the Wats in Bangkok in 6 hours. After I while I got sick of the high pressure and it was worth the money to avoid going to these places.

A ping pong side show may sound like an interesting feat. Unless you're looking for a sex show, don't fall for this. There are some very seedy places that have some crazy stuff going on. I recommend staying away from anything that remotely sounds like ping pong.

I had a number of great and cheap massages while I was in Bangkok. Sometimes a massage can be confused for something more. Again, this is something you should be aware of and understand what you're getting into. A Thai massage doesn't necessarily mean something more, but be cautious. Many establishments don't have a place for your wallet, keep track of your stuff!
