タイ旅行！ Thailand tour

15～18日でバンコク旅行に行って来ましたよ～。
本場タイ料理は美味いし、お寺は立派、それにマッサージ～。
実際の滞在日数は2日間の弾丸ツアーでしたが内容の濃い旅行が
出来ました。

しかし、タイってのは油断禁物。
親切に話しかけて来る人の話は、聞いちゃ駄目ね。
俺も危うく騙される所でした。

朝、アットポー傍でタクシーを下車。入口行こうとしたら気さくに声を掛けて来るタイ人。
今日は、王室の儀式があってAMは閉鎖。午後にならないと開かないよ。って。
じゃ、ワットプラケオに行くよ。って言ったら、そこも同じAM閉鎖。
じゃ、カオサン通りに行くよ。って言ったら、あそこの商店街は12時頃にならないと
開かない。だからここが良い、あそこが良いって遠い所ばかり教えてくれる。
こいつ怪しい。って事で、色々有難う。とお礼を言い逆側の入口へ。
全然開いてるじゃねーかよっ！

この手口結構流行っているみたいで、歩いていると「今日はクローズだよ～！」って
やたらと声をかけられる。
みんなタクシー、トゥトゥク、バイクタクシーの運転手。
どんな商売やねん！

I went to Bangkok from 15 to 18^th Aug with my wife.

Food was nice, Temple is beautiful and massage is also good.

We could stay only 2days but I could enjoy a lot!

BUT! If you visit Thai, you have to take care.

If there are people who try to talk you very kind, you don’t need hear the people’s advice.

I was almost cheated.

This is the story.

In the morning in front of Wat Pho temple, we got off taxi and walked to entrance.

One guy was trying to talk me.

He said today there is royal family’s ceremony in here so Wat Pho is closed AM.

It will be open from PM.

I said OK if so, we will visit Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

The guy said it is also doing same ceremony so AM closed. I can go into there from PM.

I said Oh really! OK I will go to Khaosan road.

The guy said the area’s shops don’t open till around noon so even now I go there nothing I can see.

So the guy advised me many good places for tour but all of them are far.

At first I thought this guy is kind but it is unreliable all places I want to go are closed??

So I express him thank and went to opposite side entrance.

Wat Pho was perfectly open for everybody!

I could entry and take massage.

This kind of fraud is like popular in Bangkok because if we walked sidewalk, we will be spoken “Today Close!” from lots of people.

But the all speakers are taxi, mortar cycle taxi and Tuktuk drivers.

What a annoying people they are!
