Tourists get ripped off in every country, And im sure a lot of people get ripped off more than 5baht, Sure we got ripped off on the bungee jump also and how i know is when i got there, There was a price list on the counter that said it was 1200baht, But one of the fella's start talking to us and when i turned around the list mysteriously dissapeared or as they said was never there, And we ended up paying 1400baht
And i think we might have been ripped off on the go-carts aswell because they charged us 700baht for 15mins on the 125cc.. Which i thought was a bit pricey at the time but thought nothing of it until i was off them and i was sitting down having a coke, And the lady came over and asked me a strange question, She said "Was 700baht ok for go-karts with a smile on her face" so then i knew for sure we were overcharged
