has anyone been scam there? I got taken in for a suite and over price tour package...the suit was not bad, I do not mind but everyone seem to want to scam you there.

wut

no need to book ahead usually... otherwise u do get scammed unless staying at a chain.

ive been to thailand. Never trust anyone there for a service unless the service is to be rendered IMMEDIATELY. Never prebook anything unless you dont have to pay until service is rendered.

I got taken at full moon party. We got over to the island no problem but the scammers never came back to pick us up at the designated time.

ya man for sure... I was told the girl I was going to get was 12 but she was friggin 18...like wtf

Did you get tricked? Did she have an apendage that wasn't supposed to be there?

I saw some of that there. It happens in broad daylight within ear shot of anyone.

This particular moment there were 2 little girls that these guys were being sold by an older white chick in a normal restaurant. I wanted to get up and beat the crap out of them.

The internet comes on computers now?

No doubt you can pay the "white tax" in asia. Unless you have asian friends who tell you the real price to shoot for LOL

But it's still just over a buck a piece.

I had this in Bali where it is encourage that you bargain with the merchants. They would often sell for 20-25% of their or original price. At first it was fun, but I started to feel bad trying to beat these people down to paying a few bucks for something that would cost me a lot more.
