Shanghai'd in Bangkok

After more than a mo th of avoided tourist scams. We were finally
taken in. We were steps away from the Grand Palace when this guy steps
out from behind a guard shack. We were looking confused and had just
had a couple of other guys try to "help" us. This dude told us the
palace was closed for lunch and that we should go see some other
sights and come back. The long and short of it is we wasted a couple
hours while various peole tried to get us to buy things from vacations
to jewelry while being driven around in a tuk tuk. At least all we
lost was money.

Scams lime this work so well in Thailand because 90% of the people you
meet are trying to be helpful.
