I am aware that there are scams in every third world country. It happens regularly in Mexico and the Philippines. I've seen the scammers setting up their operation. I've heard similar stories in Africa. But, when I see a real accident with real victims it's just my nature to get involved if I can help in any way. I DO know that poor Thais think all farangs have loads of money they don't need... and therefore are intitled to some of it. It HAS been a good topic because it can make innocent people aware that some of these scams do exist.

Sad as I am to say it, I believe you have a far greater chance of getting scammed by fellow farangs in Thailand than by Thais!! Changes are about the same if your mix wit locals as well buy Thais scammed you for 100 Baht fellow farangs for 100,000 baht. #80
