Don’t get me wrong. I love Thailand. Scammers and pick pockets appear in almost all countries. It’s always a small minority of people who are the culprit. To be on a safe side, it’s good to be informed with common scams and dangers so that you can have a happy trip ahead.
A wise man learns the mistakes of himself and the mistakes of others. Instead of learning the hard way, lets us be the wise man. Together, we can avoid being the victims of the scammers.
