Don't fall for the “Grand Palace is closed” scam!

Thinking of going to the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand? Watch this first to be aware of the most common scams.

Thailand is known as the ‘Land of Smiles’, but I'm not sure how much smiling these tourists are going to be doing after realizing they've been scammed.

Every day, 100's of tourists on their way to explore the Grand Palace in Bangkok are tricked by a small, but well organized group of scammers.

Luckily, people who fall for them aren't taken for all of their life savings - like some more extreme scams out there - but it's still really annoying to be taken advantage of.

Watch how some of more common scams work so you'll be able to enjoy your experience, headache free!
