If you can confirm that the one giving the BJ was not the brother who wanted the sex change, I will bring some of my old wallets that I no longer have enough money to fill with me next time I am in BKK
WA:
I canna confirm the BJ question. A very wise man (not you) once told me that if all you can see is the top of their head, then what difference does it make about the blower's sex. As a blowee, however, I normally try and determine the sex. This time the steering wheel and all the traffic was causing me some problems so I didn't take the normal precautions.
By all means bring your old wallets. I wish I had saved some of my others as I am now down to trying to find a cheap source of wallets to continue the scam.

What's so difficult in getting a blowjob in a car which is standing on the street ?

I wonder how many scams have to be reported before the "Smiles" gets replaced by "Scams" in LOS?
Here's one from the Postbag.
Beware palace scam
Last week my husband and I went for a visit to the Grand Palace.
We took a bus, were dropped off next to the palace and were immediately confronted by a person standing close to the tuk-tuks. We were told by this person that there was something else going on in the palace grounds at that moment and that we could not go inside. However, he said he could organise a tuk-tuk for us to go and see other attractions in the meantime.
Thinking we might as well do that, rather than wait around in the heat for two hours, we agreed, and he showed us on our map what we would be seeing. Needless to say, there was a hidden agenda here.
We saw the first of the attractions, which we enjoyed. Then we were taken to the next one, a jewellery shop, and here is where our problem with the whole situation started.
It was interesting to see the process of making jewellery and there are some very beautiful stones, but we immediately felt that there was something going on.
However, we left with some gifts for family and friends. Upon getting into the tuk-tuk, we were immediately asked by the driver how much we spent. It infuriated us, as we could not see how the amount that we spent had anything to do with the driver, but we had our suspicions.
At the next stop our suspicions were confirmed. We were taken to a silk shop, which was not on the list of attractions that we were supposed to be taken to.
We said that we were not interested, but the driver said not to worry, to please go in and stay at least 10 minutes because he would then get a gas coupon, and he insisted we did not have to buy anything.
We thought OK, no skin off our noses.
What happened next was something I hope will never happen to me in Thailand again.
Upon entry, we were immediately accosted by a salesperson, who asked us very bluntly what we wanted. When we told him that we did not really want anything but that we wanted to took around, he told us that we could not just walk around and he became aggressive when I said I just wanted to look at the fabrics. Impoliteness was not something I had encountered in Thailand until then.
When we came out, I told the driver of the tuk-tuk that the man in the shop was not nice and that we wanted to leave, coupon or not.
We were then promptly taken to a souvenir shop (also not on our list of attractions) where we were treated with utmost respect and I bought more things for family and friends. Again, we were immediately asked how much we had spent by our driver.
After this, we were taken back to the palace, but by that time our appetite for the visit had dissipated and we went back to our lodgings.
The reason I started my letter by telling you this story is that we found out that almost every foreigner we know in Thailand has had the same experience.
This is what we would call ''hijacking of tourists for other purposes'', starting with the first person who told us a lie, as there was in fact nothing happening in the palace that prohibited us from going in there. Because we felt angered by this ''hijacking'' and the subsequent treatment of us as tourists, we never got to do what we went there for in the first place, which was to visit the Grand Palace.
If it was not for the treatment of us by that shopkeeper, I would probably not have written this letter.
But after hearing from others that this whole thing is standard procedure, I felt I had to say something. These occurrences, and the fact that tourists are charged far more than the going rates for things, are not endearing Thailand to normal tourists.
We do not ask for special treatment and to get things very cheaply, but we do ask to be treated with respect and not be unfairly pulled into some dubious money-making schemes.
We, however, still love Thailand.

Looks like a good pay day for the tuktuk driver, this is the oldest 1 in the book isn't it?
Had an old work buddy fall for this one but he really enjoyed the experience as they pampered him in the shops with free beer & snacks, & treated him like a king. Being in a tuktuk for the first time was an adventure too

I had the same scam tried on me on my first trip to BKK over twenty years ago. Fortunately I did not take the bait.
A lot of big cities all over the world have scammers that prey on unwary tourists. It is part of the package. It is up to you to be careful. With so much information available on the internet now, it is not difficult to read up in advance and prepare oneself.

So, the question here is, is it up to the tourist to do his/her own research before going to that destination or is it up to the authorities to get rid of the scammers, who tarnish the good name of this kingdom?
