Re: Timos y estafas en Tailandia

Desconocía este timo, el vejete se aprovecha del buen corazón y buena voluntad de la gente, eso te deja muy mal sabor de boca cuando eres una de sus víctimas.

Acertado tu comentario sunrise. Los timos y estafas en su gran mayoría, juegan con la avaricia del timado y el timador se aprovecha de ello para estafarle. En esta ocasión, el timo es aún más deleznable si cabe, ya que están robando a gente que supuestamente te está haciendo un enorme favor, son perfectos desconocidos que están ayudándote y son estafados.... La sensación que se tiene que sentir al descubrir que has sido robado tiene que ser muy frustrante.

Esa sensación se parecera a la del que para a un autoestopista y es robado por la persona a la que estaba ayudando..... sin comentarios....

La estafa del karaoke es famosa en Tailandia. Esto paso ayer a unos turistas de Malasia en un karaoke de Chiang Mai.

A group of Malaysian tourists who spent a few hours in a Chiang Mai karaoke bar on Friday night became the latest victims of the “karaoke con” when they were hit with a bill for a whopping 114,000 baht.

The group of nine entered the bar on Chang Klan Road in the Muang area at around 10pm and enjoyed food and drinks plus the company of several bar hostesses. At around 1am when they decided to call it a night they were presented with a bill for 114,080 baht.

When questions were raised about the size of the bill, the manager said he could not discount the bill as 30% had to be paid to the tour bus that had brought the group to the bar. This turned out not to be the case as they used a typical red bus and the normal commission for drivers / guides who take clients to karaoke bars is 1,000 baht per customer.

The tourists were not satisfied and filed a complaint with police. At the station, following negotiations, the bill was halved and the group agreed on paying 60,000 baht with no charges against the bar manager or owner being filed.

It also emerged during the police investigation that the bar wasn’t licensed and was immediately ordered to close down.

This latest story follows on from the recent “karaoke con” that made the news where a Dutchman beaten unconscious at a different Chiang Mai karaoke bar on Christmas Day for querying an inflated bill.

It is without doubt that such ripoffs happen more often than we read about as conned customers give in to intimidation and threats from bar bouncers and fear police involvement.
