Subject:: BE CAREFUL IN THAILAND
Hi all,
I got this email last night and was wondering if any
one else in here received it.
Scarry to think that it really happens - but the way the world
is now, nothing surprises me anymore.

An Indian was detained in Thailand for stealing a box of cigarettes in a duty-free shop at Bangkok International Airport...
He had paid for chocolates and a carton of cigarettes.
The cashier put a packet of cigarettes extra into his bag and the customer thought it was a free pack.
He was arrested for shop-lifting and the Thai Police extortion price was 30,000 Baht for his release.
He spent two nights in jail and paid 500 Baht for an air-conditioned cell, 200 - 300 baht for each of his visitor and 11,000 baht for his final release.
The Police shared the money right in front of his eyes.
On top of that, he was charged in court and fined 2,000 baht by the magistrate and handcuffed and escorted to his plane.
His passport was stamped "Thief".
While there, his relatives requested help from the Indian Embassy and was told that they are helpless, many Asians are victimized similarly daily and letters and phone-calls to the Thai authorities are ignored.
He shared a cell with a Singaporean the first night who paid 60,000 baht for his release.
The second night was a Malaysian national who paid 70,000 baht.
Mind you this was not in a shanty shop in downtown Bangkok but ... in a duty free shop at the Bangkok Int'l Airport.
BE WARNED....
The above is 100% correct information because Mr.Rajan Khera's customer from India faced exactly the same scenario mentioned above
when he was in transit at Bangkok Int'l Airport coming to Taipei...
Someone who went through the same ordeal in Dubai, had bought stuff at the Duty Free upon entering. The girl at Duty free put a bottle of cologne in his shopping bag (he did not even see it happen).
He was arrested for stealing (this is before he even picked up his luggage).
He sat at the airport jail where he was harassed for the whole day.
NO FOOD, NO WATER for one day and only after he paid a fine (bribe of US 500). That's all the cash he had in his pocket at the time.
They let him go.
These are scams that are happening all over the place.
Please BE CAREFUL!
All of this is preplanned and the people who work at the airport know who to target.
Unbelievable but apply caution....the duty free employees intentionally put extra items to scam the passengers.....
ALWAYS TAKE A RECEIPT FOR ANY FREE GIFT THAT THE DUTY FREE SHOP GIVES.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL
AND WATCHFUL
WHEN YOU ARE BEING BILLED ITEMS PACKED IN
INTERNATIONAL AIR PORTS
(DUTY FREE SHOPS)..
