If there is a crime, the Thai Police want to profit from it. Every day, hundreds of professional tourist scammers are deployed all over Bangkok. In front of Hotels, Subway Stations, Tourist Sights, Shopping Centers, or busy corner...THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! Their goal? To defraud every tourist they meet. Take a look at the below photos and go to the Erawan Shrine to see them. They work these positions, 9-5, every day. According to an employee of the Tourist Authority of Thailand...THEY ARE THAI POLICE. "Be careful".
