What a dick. I'm glad you got your phone back. In short, don't trust Germans. Ever.

Chris: Paragon and Siam Center Apple store: Aerons for 50k baht, HM shop at wireless road for 45k (aluminum model is 60k) (so its around double price compared to usa...)

If you havent done it already, might be worth checking the numbers he dialled to make sure he didnt dial any of those premium-rate style ones or whatever.

he said something about somebody stealing his bag and he wondered if he could use my phone. i felt like i could take him down if he made a run for it, so i said sure. (probably a bad move.) he made 3 calls really fast. his hands were shaking a lot. while he was making the calls he was asking if i worked in bkk and if i was just on vacation.

then he starts into talking about money transfers and western union. he asked me if i had a bank account. i said no. basically he was wanting me to take out money from an atm and give it to him so he could pay for his flight. which makes no sense because if he had i flight, why would he need more money? then he was saying he was going to send me a western union tomorrow when he got to germany so he could pay me back. he also said something about online money transfers. when he went into his rant about transfers i made sure to grab my phone even though he didn't look like he was done with it.

he said something about going to the german embassy but it was closed. do embassies even close?

he is about 6 feet tall, skinny, with short brown hair. watch out.
i'm ashamed to admit i gave this very guy 1000 baht. i was in a hurry (same place, ~subway by phrom pong across from benjasiri) and i swear he was crying, tears down his eyes, everything. i walk home that way nearly every day and have yet to see him again. he will not enjoy the day that i do.

i took "his phone number" and of course when i called it later it was the number for topping up credit. in that fleeting moment i was like hey, if i'm ever totally screwed like this i would want someone to help me. obv regretted 5 mins later.

i generally walk a distance from that stretch when i walk home so if i see him i can approach him from behind and "politely" ask to borrow 1000 baht. good to know he's still around.

haha seriously you gave money to a crying german

You have seen Russian sex tourists? I honestly don't think I've ever seen them partake. They usually bring their own with them or have wives that dress like them from my observations

Sup dawgs...
i came back from bkk 2 days ago.. i was there for like 4 weeks, standard program (bkk, chiang mai, phuket, peepee,phangan samui,bkk home)...

My question to youuu guuuuuys:
Is it ****ing possible to walk like 500meters in bkk without getting ****ing ripped off or scammed?
Thailand was so ****ing nice but bkk really ****ed us up...

The **** taxi tiltet me so hard whuuuaaaa:
i was like go to chawacheng weekend market or something.. the really big one u know... he like: kk lol
driving threw all the **** city. why not? were ****ing farangs, what could we do? get out and get scammed by another ****ing taxi driver?so we drove like 1hr for 250 baht... if he told me that he was poor and needed some moneys i would have gave him 200 baht for free... its 5 euros lol waynnneee... but ripping of farangs who support thai eco so hard is **** dumb of them..
on our way back we just payd like 80baht.. 10 minutes...


best line for farangs in bkk is getting a guest house near kaoh san and ****ing party the last 1 or 2 nights before flying home imo... u may got shot on kaoh san but not ripped off

in before cool story bro

Standard dude, its always good to read the travel forums so you know what stuff should cost and not take any sh.it off the locals. India is 5 times worse and they don't even have hot chicks to compensate for the inconvenience. Can't blame them mind you, we have money they don't, if the situation was reversed you would do the same..........

basically had you used pokertableratings or in this case ATF thread prior to visiting you wouldnt have sat heads up with the reg tuk tuk driver rubbing his hands together grinning saying hello welcome! at the arrival of new fish and walked 10 steps further and gotten a reg taxi from the street/ongoing traffic which would have given you no hassle at all hence the 80 baht 10 minute trip home. som nam na!
07-21-2010 , 04:42 PM
Lol vlad, we were definitely writing a reply at the same time and ended it both the same....Som nam na! didnt see yours till after i posted mine....far as this goes

this is probably the worst line you could take that is unless you traveled across the world to chill with busto backpackers and ship some euro chick who has hairy pits and doesnt shave her legs.

Best line is to post in chatter, hit up a barcrawl and meet some other regs there/tag along with them one night when we go out clubbing..get 4 handed massages daily and eat ballin noodles with an ice cream nom sunday for dessert.

Hi all,

Posted this in another thread, but not sure it was the right place.

I was told to come here to find some local poker buddies. I'm in Bangkok, this is my 7th trip. I've been here nearly two months now and will be here another month before going back to the UK. I will spend about a month in London then will be back out here again for another 3-4 months. I'm spending most of my time here.

I'm 28, grinding the micros at the moment and currently staying in Bang Kapi (in Bangkok), although i'm searching for a new apartment in a nicer area.

So if anyone is local, it would be great to chat about poker & Thai stuff.

Be careful dude, any reference to paying for any of this type of stuff will soon have you labelled as a 'Klaus' here, even though many of them are doing it themselves.............
