I've heard of this sort of thing before, long ago, even before I was living in LOS
the uneducated Thais believe it's magic, or that they've been hypnotized
they also sometimes believe that it's some concoction made by witch doctors in Eesahn that is on these cloths
this is also a way that young women are hauled off into prostitution rings (kidnapped)
Gassed Taxi
there's also a situation where cabbies have a setup in their cab to drug the air in the back of their vehicle
when a lovely young lady gets in, they'll switch on the gas in the back until she's knocked out and take her somewhere to rape her before selling her to the Bosses
Irate Driver routine
down my way you might get bumped unsuspectingly by another vehicle, and they will pretend it's your fault
if on a motorbike they'll thump on your car and try to break the glass, etc., or if in another car/truck they'll keep swerving/nosing into your lane in front of you, forcing you to stop
once the victim stops, thinking that he/she is going to offer up their insurance details or call the police, the oncomers commandeer their vehicle and off they all go leaving the victim standing there alone, or worse
I drove all the way to a police station after an incident like this. A fellow on a motorbike was clearly in the wrong and nearly hit me, and followed me around staring at me until I went to the police station at which point he disappeared

This was Manila, not Thailand but there is still a lesson to be learnt. I went into a money changer in Ermita to change HK$4000 into pesos and the guy behind the counter passed over the money, which I counted. then he told me to be very careful because there were people standing outside the shop who looked a bit suspicious. Instinctively I turned around, and I swear it was for no more than one second. I turned back and took the pesos and returned to my hotel (Swagman). About 20 minutes later, for whatever reason I counted the pesos and it was only half what I had counted back in the money changer's shop. Without thinking and in a pretty foul mood I went back to the shop, pushed open the door and grabbed the sifty bugger in a headlock while demanding my money. He was in the shop and his wife was behind the counter. All the while I was shouting and she panicked and handed me back my HK dollars after begging me to let the guy go. She had the nerve to count the pesos when I put them back on the counter.
I was lucky that my hotel was literally around the corner because they probably didn't expect a tourist to return so quickly. A policeman later told me I was very lucky on two counts. Firstly they probably would have shut the shop in another few minutes and secondly, these people usually have a gun handy and I was lucky I didn't get shot.
I still can't believe how quickly they were able to palm off half my pesos.

What kind of drug could have been in that cloth? Any ideas from more chemically knowledgeale folks? The spiked drink is easy - a plethora of possibilities, but that cloth thing is interesting.

Not so much a scam, but I find this story hilarious. Not because of the novelty of it but because of bad luck. The only reason I believe it is because I know the guy to whom it happened.
Years ago this guy takes a FL to a short time hotel around Suk. 3 (he told me the name, I forgot which but it is irrelevant). There she gives him a candy. Next thing he knows he is waking up because the hotel manager is knocking on the door telling to leave the room. Short time is up. He has to leave. He cannot stay there.
The girl took his phone and wallet and the unused condoms he had bought prior to going to the hotel.
He leaves as best as he can. But it is obvious he is walking like a zombie. Then in the street a new girl -a good samaritan- comes to offer him help to get to his place.
He wakes up the next day, drugged again, and finds he has been robbed. Must amusing he said was that she went through the fridge and took some food as well as some of his CDs (she made a selection of the things she liked it) besides the obvious valuables he had.
Now, that has to be bad luck. Twice in the same day. The guy is a veteran of Bangkok who has been coming here since the 70s.

you may not believe it, but the TGs sure do
when traveling alone, they'll check the driver's ID on the dash when boarding a taxi to make sure it's the same guy who is driving
if it doesn't look like the same guy, they'll get out 
not sure what they're using, but a few reports had it that they heard a hissing sound, and a funny smell, then they were getting weak-kneed
and those were only reports of ones that managed to get out before the taxi got up to speed where they couldn't

For f*** sakes man, never believe anything that comes out of a TG's mouth even if it's your cock.
So they lean forward and look at the guy's ID through the air tight screen that the taxi driver has erected between himself and the passenger seats. Actually I believe I've seen taxi knockout gas being sold in Boots, yes I think they keep it in the section next to the vitamin pills.
