Visitors to Thailand from all over the world, including, Australia, Italy, France, Russia, India, The UK, USA, China, New Zealand, Israel and Japan.

Have been complaining for years on end, about Illegal Extortion by Jet Ski Scammers. These scams are often accompanied by threats of serious violence.

And in many cases, tourists have been badly beaten up. With many  hospitalized for refusing to pay up.

Every now and then in both Pattaya and Phuket, there are Media-Hyped Crackdowns.

But you can ask anyone who lives in Thailand, and he or she will tell you in a heartbeat, that, these are only ‘staged’ when the reports get so shocking and so bad that they get International Attention.

But the very next day, the Jet Ski operators simply return to their old ways.

There are even undercover videos on YouTube showing Police in Thailand in collusion with the Jet Ski Owners.

What a mind-boggling surprise, right? Who would ever expected that? Here’s How the Jet Ski Scam Happens…

As an unsuspecting tourist, you’re on vacation with your family, or friends in Thailand, when you see Jet Ski’s for Rent on the beach.

You’re greeted by a Super-Friendly Thai Guy who quickly convinces you to hire a few Jet Skis and go for a ride.

You agree – because you think this will help create Happy Memories to Last for a Lifetime.

Something beautiful that you and your family will treasure for many years to come. Oh Crikey! if ONLY you knew what was about to happen…

After the ride, the friendly smile vanishes.

And before you know it, you’re suddenly confronted by a Very Angry Thai Man screaming and yelling at you. He’s saying that you, your friends, or your kids, have Deliberately Damaged his Jet Skis. And now, you must pay Serious Compensation.

Or There’ll be Hell to Pay. Of course, you do what most people would do in your situation. You say; “C’mon! You’ve gotta be kidding, Mate!” “We NEVER damaged Any of the Jet Skis! Let alone all of them!” That simply Never happened.

But, Your protestations of innocence are Totally Ignored. Plus, your previously friendly Jet Ski operator, is demanding anywhere from 5,000 Baht [$165] all the way to 30,000 Baht [Almost $1,000] per Jet Ski.

You raise your voice and then it happens…

Before you know it, you get surrounded by 5 to 10 very angry, and extremely menacing Thai guys.

And please believe me, it won’t make any difference whatsoever to them, that your wife, and 8 year old daughter, are now both crying hysterically, and frightened out of their minds.

The Jet Ski operator is now making Horrible, Violent Threats towards both you, and your family. And so you say, “I’m going to call the police!”

He immediately starts to call the police [who unbeknown to you] are often in on the scam] and before the policeman arrives, the Thai Thug and 5 to 10 of his mates are telling you that, “you’ll all go to plizzen!”

By now your wife and daughter and Absolutely Terrified.

And you know you cant fight them. Because you are always, Always, ALWAYS outnumbered.

Then the police arrive.

And you’re thinking to yourself, “Thank God! Help is at hand!” Guess what?

The policeman barely speaks a word of english.

But he speaks ‘just enough’ to tell you that you’d better pay up.

Because, “If you no pay moneee you all go to Plizzen!” “Plizzen velly velly bad for falang!”

You’re in between a rock and a hard place.

And so you pay up.

Your vacation is totally ruined.

Your wife and daughter are both terrified. to even go outside of your hotel room.

You could call your embassy. But nothing’s going to happen.

You see, they aren’t stupid.

They know the score.

They know absolutely NOTHING’S ever gonna change.

They have a never-ending green light to just keep scamming Foreigners. Because, This is Thailand.

And this is just one of the HUNDREDS of ‘very well documented’ Tourist Scams that happen all day, every day in the land of smiles.

So, if you’re thinking of going to Thailand and renting a Jet Ski.

Please Dont.

Just don’t.

At least the touts at the various temples will only scam you out of a couple of thousand baht.

They won’t attack you with iron bars. [as happened a couple of years back after one tourist refused to pay up for non-existent Jet Ski damage].

Anyway, You’ve been warned.

Never – under any circumstances, rent a Jet Ski in Thailand.

Not unless you have very deep pockets.

Because that smiling operator has LOTS of ‘Mia Noi’ to support. Thanks for Watching.Make it a Great Day!
