Thailand·WarningBangkok's gem scams
How it works
You are taken to a jewelry store where you're sold gems at an "exceptional" price that you could supposedly resell back home for a big profit. The stones are fake or of very poor quality.
Field advice
NEVER buy precious stones on a stranger's recommendation. If it sounds too good to be true, it's a scam.
