Booby traps in Bangkok 'Tiger shows'.The popular, or should I say infamous Tiger shows in Bangkok are usually 'free' but apparently that is not the case. My friends and I bought the tickets through a 'bulk system' for four and paid an average of 20 SGD per person. What's more, the drinks there are exorbitantly priced!Location: Patpong, BangkokPrice : pay nothing more thant 20 SGD

Jewelry store
[ 1 ]While you are in Thailand, taxi or tuk tuk drivers try to take you to jewelry stores as they get 50 baht per foreigner going into the store. These stores pay them commission even you do not buy. But when you buy, they will get commission.

Beware of Stainless Steel Cutlery
[ 0 ]If one knows about metal, magnet does not attract to stainless steel. So while you are in Thailand and intend to buy any of their cutlery especially stainless steel ones. Do not be surprised you will be cheated even with the stamp "Stainless Steel." on it. Even big department stores have non stainless steel cutlery but the words are being stamped on it. If you have a mobile phone cover with strap and has a magnet on it, you may use it to check. If it sticks to the cutlery then you can be sure its not stainless steel at all. One may show you a real stainless steel but when take from the stock, its not stainless steel anymore.

They Worked Hard For Your Money
[ 1 ]The rejects usually end up in China where photo-taking was a measly RMB20 per shot. Here, we are all wrapped up against the biting cold but these "ladies" were in their skimpy costumes acting as if they were still the sunny Thailand.
