Thai Jet Ski Scam Filmed (VIDEO)

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Yet idiots still rent them daily. Widely known they are scammers. So no sympathy.

Even if it's a known scam, it's still upsetting to see these fuckers taking advantage of tourists just wanting to have fun.

This attitude (no filming, i wil kill you, pay pay pay) makes me wish local businesses looses it's tourists so the locals beat the shit out of these scammers for good.

I won't bother go to holidays there, asia is big and other great spots are available.

Everyone who is in phuket knows about it.most people do due diligence when travelling somewhere for the first time and find info about the place. Its widely published about this scam.when i first went my travel agent even told me and that was a long long time ago.
I have seen people get scammed in patong.people watch and 5 minutes later rent a jetski.

Jetskiers are wankers
everybody knows that
that is part of the reason why every other water user hates them with a passion

The scam has been running for years with police getting their kickbacks. Thailand is nothing but a corrupt little shithole of a country. No need to go there.
