Common Scams to Avoid
Ignore the touts. At Kanchanaburi bus terminal, unlicensed taxi hustlers swarm arriving airport shuttles. They quote flat fares triple the meter rate. They insist no meter taxis exist in town. Lies. Walk to the main road. Flag a marked cab. Use Grab. Problem solved.
Songthaew scam alert. Near Saeng Chuto Road drop-off, drivers lie. They claim the orange public songthaew to River Kwai bridge has stopped running. They offer private rides at triple price. Check with locals. Walk 100 m. Orange songthaews leave every ten minutes.
Camera first. Motorbike-rental shops beside guesthouses target airport arrivals. They invent fresh damage on return. They point to old scratches never listed on the form. Photograph every panel with the form in the same frame. Demand a signed copy. No exceptions.
