Default thailand scams

First excuse my english, IŽll traslate with google from spanish to inform this:

In bangkok you will be very kind to people approaching the intencion to help nicely and free, but everything is part of a scam, because you travel guide to offices where you sell packages of hotels that do not coincide with what contracts and about overcharging, bequeathing to be up to 100% more expensive to their real value. It is better to engage the hotels yourself once you reach the desired country and the city, not recruit travel agencies, and expecially TAKE CARE TRAVEL CO

if you have have problems with the scams like I had with TAKE CARE TRAVEL CO

YOU CAN CALL FREE TO THE TOURIST POLICE AT 1155
AND GO TO THE OFFICE OF THE CONSUMER PROTECTION BOARD
GOVERMENT HOUSE DUSIT
RACHADAMNOEN NOR ROAD
OPPOSITE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION TEL> 0262970389/0262970413

they make us a quick trail and I have my money back


It is very they try to scam you.
Cheat you on the street, they indicate on a map where is the official tourist office, but tell a different direction to the tuk tuk driver and you go to a travel agent who is pretending to be the official tourist office.

then the
Hotels that contracts are not similar to the hotels you find once you reach them

It is very usual they try to scam you.
Cheat you on the street, they indicate on a map where is the official tourist office, but tell a different direction to the tuk tuk driver and you go to a travel agent who is pretending to be the official tourist office.

then the
Hotels you contract are not similar to the hotels you find once you reach them

here you have the agency card

Default Tuk-Tuk and Mafia of tourism

Please be aware, i got also similar problem with take-care-travel-co
they my be more agency like this, but all start with the Tuk-tuk.
or some time the Taxi driver, the governement of thailland is not doing enough to stop the scam.
Please write it in the Hotels every where in Bangkok : do not go with a Tuk-Tuk as a guide.
Please do not lets these SCAM spoil your travel, use the PUBLIC BUS if possible
