also must passport ar? Most likely they see your face they know this type of cheap bastard will try to steal and later on sell the bicycle for a few cents profit.
In Bangkok and Pattaya, everything depends on your Thai guide. You get a good guide, you will be briefed on everything that can possibly happen to you, and then you can take action to avoid the unpleasant happenings.
My family, we always have the greatest, most wonderful experiences in
Bangkok and Pattaya. All thanks to our wonderful Thai guide.
Our guide even told us not to sit on the beach chairs that line the whole beach in Pattaya, because we'd be charged US$20 per hour for each
chair!!!!
.. You been con ..For your case I think you kena con by your tour guide Liao ..no one charge that amount for beach chair .. The only reason your tour guide tell you that because he don't want you to spend too much time on the beach .. He want to bring you go birdnest shop , precious stone shops .... To get commission
You are welcome to try your luck at the seedy establishments (or even non-seedy establishments) in Bangkok and Pattaya. For me, I would rather listen to a trusted Thai guide than to a How-Lian know-it-all Sinkiepoorean. I have seen how these How-Lian Sinkiepooreans end up. In fact, I just came back from Genting, and I saw 2 of them upside down in their BMW and Benz, in the ditch by the side of the Expressway!!!!
Rent bicycle
yeah sure. tell that to those sinkies who trusted sunshine empire MLM, NKF, ren ci, bankers who sell CDO etc, etc.. in fact alot of these locals are the worst, con millions and practically get away with it.
Actually, the first con man I encountered in LOS was a Sinkee. Tried to pull a fast one using the old 'Kaki Lang' aka 'same same Singaporean in trouble oversea' trick. Will not go to details but I saw through the trick and this 'Kaki Lang' just move on to the next target.
Yes, Many Singapore tourist are too flashy and loud. You can spot them for far away. Most common sign is saying "Wah! So Cheap!" or "Can cheaper or not hah?".You are welcome to try your luck at the seedy establishments (or even non-seedy establishments) in Bangkok and Pattaya.

Hehehe. Actually no need to be too conservative here in Pattaya. Just wear and behave reasonably. It's true about the Russian presence but they do not disturb anyone outside their own kind. Known many Russians and PRCs in Pattaya and friends with many of them. Most of them are not trouble makers and mind their own business.was in pattaya recently: heard from hotel owner that many businesses there is run by russian mafia hence u see many russian tourists ....
go anywhere just becareful ... don't be well dressed ... dress like the locals. i usually wear my old clothing when i travel those i'm going to throw so they are full of holes & stains haha ... ppl think i'm the 1 going to rob them not the other way around so they avoid me ...
don't be too sure about that, heard of one fucked up and cursed family there, when brother was in power Thailand got tsunami when sister is in proxy Thailand got flood, when donation came in for flood victims brother and sister channel donated items into the bags printed with brother's name until the next lot they had to seal donated items in the bags printed with curse aim at the siblings
No problem. This one started from a local Thai who claims to know a 'wealthy khon Sin Ka Por'. Was not interested in this but gave in because of the persistent pestering I must meet this "wealthy khon Sin Ka Por" to get rich. And so a meeting was arrange at a posh restaurant between myself and this "wealthy Sin Ka Por". This fella already did his homework and know what I like. Show me the photographs of himself with various VIP (including some Cambodian royalties) on his iphone and tried to convince me to invest THB 200,000 on some logging business in Cambodia.
