Thailand is a unique country with special customs and attitudes towards tourists. Even though the country makes good money thanks to travelers, some individuals want to cash in on gullible tourists.
Since evening and nighttime entertainment is popular in Thailand, most often visitors are deceived by the entertainment establishments of the country. About how not to fall for tricks – in the material “DIP”.
Free evening shows
On the popular club streets, there are always barkers who offer various services to tourists. You can take flyers from them and analyze offers, but you should not go anywhere with them, especially for free. Often they approach tourists, take them by the hand and offer to watch the evening show for free. However, when you arrive, there can be two scenarios: you will be told to order alcohol in a bar at inflated prices, or they will not let you out and still make you pay.
This is how promoters make money on naive tourists who come to Thailand for exotic and entertainment. If you want to go to such a show, buying a ticket in advance from the guide or in the afternoon at special ticket offices is better.
Broken glass
This is a common trick in bars. You can sit quietly and have a drink at the bar, and a local girl will approach you, who supposedly wants to meet you. You can talk for a long time, buy her drinks and hint at a sequel. However, in reality, she will plan to deceive you.
At one point, a person will walk past you and knock the glass out of your hands, or a girl will drop it and ask you to take the blame and pay for it. However, the bartender will answer that the fragment hit him in the leg and will ask for money for damages, otherwise, he will call the police. Tourists say they require three thousand baht, but you can agree on less. Or insist on calling the police and watching security cameras.
Free cocktail
Visitors are lured to entertainment establishments with the help of a “welcome drink” (welcome cocktail). Tourists, seeing a free offer, go to a bar or club to drink alcohol. However, as a rule, this cocktail does not contain the highest quality alcohol, from which you will want to drink even more, and in the morning you will feel very bad. It would help if you did not go on vouchers for free cocktails before a party, it will be much more profitable and more useful to give up alcohol.
