There are huge of illegal tourist guide in Bangkok locating in the density tourist area; - Grand palace near the Tachang port, Sanam Luang (Royal park lawn)
- Silom area
- Siam Square
How do you observe the illegal tourist guide ?They wear cap with a Royal symbol on their cap, short sleeve shirt, Khaki color, private trouser, wear black eyes glass, hang a name tag on their neck.
Good English speaking, they call you to come to listen what they want to say for example, you were told the Grand Palace is closed but actually it isn't close, then you were persuade to go with Tuk Tuk taxi (3 wheels taxi) and they will charge you for sight seeing, and bring you to the FAKE Jewellery shop. If you walk away they will cell phone to their gang to speak with you again. They are Damn impolite to you.
So please do not listen to a stranger, leave away from them. Do not walk alone. Call tourist police Tel: 1155 to help you. Supa News Nov 7, 2007 |
