What Dracula's posted is 100% true, it happened to us on our holiday to Thailand and its really difficult to say No to these guys, some of them pose as cops. But just be firm and say No, it works most of the times. I would suggest Malaysia or even Bali, Indonesia, its just awesome!

"Ali Baba and 40 thieves" are now "Ali Baba and 30 thieves" ; 10 were laid off.
