Fascinating: I LOVE the fact that 'Grab' built their own stand - sooner or later, the taxi mafia will have to get their act together since so many people are aware of their BS. We took the Airport Rail Link and that was the bestest!

Very interesting Rob and fantastic advice for anyone who is new to Thailand. I am happy to say after been in Thailand many times I have never been scammed, I guess being a bit street smart helped and speaking Thai . Keep them coming Rob can not get enough of Project Bangkok

The train gets you to the city center faster and far cheaper than the taxis. I've had it with taxis and tuk tuks and now pretty much organize my trip around things I can get to by BTS and MRT.

I hope anyone planning on going to Thailand gets to see this video first. Fantastic advice.. Great info.

Great video as usual Rob. You handled #8 pretty well. About 3 years ago I was stupid to fall a scammer. Fortunately I didn't lose everything, just 70%, lol. I can laugh now about it. My friend wasn't so lucky. He lost over 250K USD. My lose wasn't no where that but to me it was a lot. I blame myself.

We went to Thailand around 4 weeks ago. When we went to pick up the hire car I saw the Grab kiosk for the first time - it was really busy and the queue was very long. Hopefully it will make the other taxi providers clamp down on the way their drivers price trips.

Great video Rob 👍 keep them coming mate

Awesome video, You put in some serious mileage putting this one together!!

Wish I'd seen this before. I just took a 2, 000 baht ($60) tuk-tuk ride from a mall a couple of miles away to my hotel, and he tried to get us to visit a tailor shop on the way. Never again.

Great Video ! Saw the Keis One vid too, and great reminder on how people everywhere in the world behave when scamming. I have traveled the USA with work and had been in NYC for 4 months on a project and saw a lot of what you are talking about :)

Definitely a scammers paradise but it's in a lot of different countries. Always avoid taxi's that's for sure! good to know about the grab stand that's awesome... usually always get the train.

We went to the Grand Palace on a Big Buddha day 2 years ago. They said it was closed because the King was there. Went anyway and it was true with soldiers everywhere. But also said no ferries were running that day and had to get private boat trip-bullshit.

Becareful when renting a condo. It took me 6 months to get my 50, 000 thb deposit back. Many real-estate agencies cannot get your deposit back. It's all between you and the owner of the condo unit.

Deliberately delaying your change is a tactic, hoping you'll give up waiting. I've even experienced people assuming that they can keep the change.

Got a taxi at the airport last week and the meter racked up 100 baht is about 5 minutes. I called out the scam and by some miracle the meter returned to normal… I wish I knew about the grab rank. Bkk taxi’s suck…

[Beep-Boop]

It's incredibly and amazingly stupid how these taxi drivers are, the more they scam the more business revenue they lose for themselves. They're just pushing the money they should be making to drivers like grab and bolt.

[gurdavarsingh-sahota]

I have a juicy scam to share so that awareness can be raised and at least minimize the potential damage.

Also what to do about being scammed beyond the fact that no matter what you do, it's gonna happen.

Education is one thing bar the fact that no matter what or how much someone is aware, it's still going to happen!

[TeacherJason-neiz]

I have lived here for 8 years and never been scammed.

Whats the best way to get to Pattaya from Bangkok Airport at 10pm ?
