  • In this vlog, I took a TukTuk to the Mall from my hotel but the TukTuk driver tried to scam me and take me to a different location to shop, but I managed to avoid it.
    Then I went to the mall and bought a charger for my laptop, and ate some yummiest sushi over there. I hope you guys will enjoy this vlog.

    We Thai people are sorry that you had to face such terrible things in our country. That driver is a person who deserves to be punished. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I will share this matter with the appropriate agencies that must do something to take responsibility for this matter 🇹🇭

    Don't ever take any offers like these from the tuk tuk drivers. If you want to go somewhere, strictly tell the driver you want to visit the place, agree the price and then take the ride. If you are unsure, simply avoid and move on, it's not worth ruining your time in Bangkok. Use motorcycle grab, fixed price, simply ride from your place to your location, no need to agree on anything.

    Good you were confident enough to handle the situation. You always have the right to flim and you should, as some situations can get agressive fast but this rarely happens. Those indian suit shops, are better and trustable in asoke, sukumvit area. IF they dont let you flim going in, then most likly they are planning a scam on you. You can file reports to the tourist police and having photographic evidence will put you in a good position. The suit shop you went to was definitely planning some nefarious acts. But always remember to stand your ground, they try to make you feel uncomfortable with paying as a way out of it. You held your own good man

    The guy at the shop was stopping you not to film the shop inside or outside because, perhaps, they have secret underhand plan with Rickshaw drivers to bring the passengers to that shop. That would disclose the secret to the Rickshaw company.😊😅 And that shop is running a bad deals, you are lucky you escaped that trap as well. 😮

      I got tuktuk scam who brought me to this kind of shop in Sri Lanka and India. Btw the shop owner who deal with Tuk tuk are Indian who are living in Thailand. You can easily see the face of the people in the shop, they are not Thai people.
