Closed? Best check for yourself., Bangkok: 21 reviews and 7 photos
My hotel warned me about this scam the first time I ever visited Bangkok, and I'm glad they did because I encountered it first hand that very same trip. When we were walking to Wat Phra Kaew and the Royal Palace, this random tuk-tuk guy pulled up beside us and said that the palace was closed all morning until 2pm because of a special event. He then offered to take us to see a few other sights around the area and then bring us back to the palace once it reopened. Of course he was lying to us in the hopes of getting some business. The palace was indeed open and we told the crooked tuk-tuk driver to shag off.
