Bangkok is affordable — unless you fall into common traps.
1️⃣ “Grand Palace Closed” Scam
Someone tells you it’s closed and redirects you.
Smart Move:
Ignore them and check the entrance yourself.
2️⃣ Tuk-Tuk “Special Tour”
Very cheap price = forced shopping stops.
Smart Move:
Use Grab instead.
3️⃣ Gem Scam
You’re told you’ve found a rare investment opportunity.
Smart Move:
Never buy gemstones as a tourist investment.
4️⃣ Overpriced Floating Market Tours
Some are far and staged.
Smart Move:
Research which markets are authentic before booking.
