Guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Well, I learned a lot from this board but in Thailand, there are so many good scams, I think making mistakes and learning from them is just part of the journey. My mistakes (recent) When I got to Pattaya, I would ask the baht bus, "how much". For a few days, I would pay the baht buss drive 30-60 baht for a trip. It was nice when I figured out that I could ride them for 10 baht. I am sure Thai people can get 5 baht, but I was happy to get it down to 10 baht I went to Sabai massage in Pattaya. I paid 600 baht for a massage. The girl said she wanted another 700 baht for a tip. I was alreaady there so I just went with the program, I am vacation right? This may have been a double dipping on the dumb tourist who would not make a fuss. The last one is being with a girl and being distracted and not seeing that the cab driver turned on the meter. We got to the hotel and he wanted 200 baht, I offered him 50, and finally gave him 70. It was funny, the Thai lady I was with was more angry than me, I was telling her to take it easy and calm down. I am sure there are more where I payed too much. This I think is a common mistake. Sometimes I don't really mind paying a higher price, I just hate it when they are scamming you and they have that big smile on their face...Grrrrrrr! I am happy to say I did not make any bigger mistakes. I was very careful to always stay calm and to make sure I was never standing in front of a Thai police and saying "let's settle" ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakkabon Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 I have now been to Thailand 19 times and my first trip was only 3 years ago, on my first trip and first girl i paid her 7000 baht for the night cause thats how much she said it cost.

New Petchburi Pete Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 The biggest mistake I made on my first holiday to LOS was to grab the third girl (I trhink she grabbed me first) I saw in the very first bar I entered at NEP ... long time for 500 Baht ... thought I was in my glory until I awakened the next morning and took a real good look at her! My two buddies had a bet as to how long I would last. I was just blown away by the scene and fell prey to temptation way too quickly. ... my friends had a good laugh.

camerashy Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Reminds me of my first trip to LOS, when I went out on the third night hoping to get laid (hoping - that shows you how new I was). Having so far not discovered the delights of Nana or Cowboy in my daytime wanderings, I strolled down Sukhumvit from my Soi 11 hotel, and eventually spotted some sparkling lights down a soi. It was a small bar, with me as the only customer and 2 girls. I was hard pressed to decide on which one to take upstairs to a private room, so decided on both for 5000 baht!!! I also paid with my credit card, which later in the cold light of day gave me many anxious moments. I had an ok time with these two, but discovered later I paid way too much, and service was only average. Funny thing is, on subsequent trips to that area, I cannot find that bar, the nearest thing being the Eden Club. I was wondering then how long the Eden club has been operating under that name (the event above happened in Feb 1998) and if in fact I was one of its earliest customers before Marc turned it into what it is today - shit, I may have given him the 2 girls per customer idea!!!!
