i would suggest 1) give them 4-5000bht and say heres what you get- and leave
2)if they your creditcard info- just deal with your cc people- you have the right to refuse/dispute any charges.
3) get it fixed yourself an bring it back good as new
sorry to hear about your experience- definitely can ruin an otherwise great trip
remember in future your cc will almost always take your side

dubiousyellow: If your in Canada or a western country that would be sound advice. In Thailand you have that attitude with the Thais, your literally putting your life on the line. This worked out about as well as possible.
the police was bribed ! 1000 baht are 20 € I would have paid that too. Its better than the jail
This act shows clearly who dishonest thaipeople can be
They are doing it because they are POOR
stay away fron jet ski’s and scooters when in thailand its an accident or scam waitint to happen
Dude you have got BIG BALLS!! filming the mafia when they told you not to!! haha
in march I was stupid there, my money stolen in my room at hotel. When I spoken hotel officer, he told me, sorry but we don`t have to do for your money but if you want to speak police it dosen`t matter you can call..:) very simple thai police is firends them…
(10000) not “1000″ you stupid cock
Philtards, are you a retarded egghead ?
Voolidiot !!
Dappere aktie man..je hebt je poot stijf gehouden en de best mogelijke deal uit het vuur gespeelt.
Dirty fuckers!!! I told them to stick their jet ski’s up there wart infested arses!!
poor guy. I’m at the moment in Phuket-Padong and can imagine his experience. Thais are nice, but absolutely dishonest.
Learn never go holiday on ur own. Next time u can come with me to Thailand I can teach them a lesson. Turist have the right not to make any payment to any damage while on holiday until everyone agreed with every thing. Payment they will need a repaire bill
Thx and enjoy
Ur holiday
They can be a bit dodgy
Thnx guys for the info….cause i’m going to phuket about 6 weeks from now….this is something i will keep in mind….Bedankt voor het maken van het filmpje……..peace
any info/heads up for phuket PM me.
theres several tiers of pricing in countries like this.
You can shut up and pay
or walk away and deny them the business.
The choice is yours.
PLEASE DONT FEED THE ANIMALS
fuck you poor guy shit i better be carfull when i go to thailand
thanks for the warning mate
forgett it …
u almost don’t have any chance …
This is Thaimafia … and even the Police is involved there … i bet u would pay …
it just happened to my friends today here in Thailand … and we tryed to nagotiate … no chance …
It just happened t my friends today here in Pha Ngan … but they prefered not to go to the police …as a friend (thai) of mine adviced not realy to nagotiate with them … it can get dangerous …
Its easy for ppl to talk from their office chairs and i say wouldn’t have payed or what ever … but beleve me u don’t want to mess with the thaimafia …
well… that is why always to have a friend that is a police. Last time i just hit a rented car in to the tree and they saide Not to worry
One way is to stop travelling here. What the fuck will they do then, when they have no one to rip off. there dosnt seem to be many Thai’s practicing Buddhist morals in Thailand today
These Jetski fuckers ripped off and took a gun out after a Royal marines guy hired a craft. I really wish a big group of these British Marines followed these mafia scum later that day and shoved them through a brick wall. And for Thai Police. Well there is really no such thing as Police. They are just idiots in tight uniforms. every time the exuse is, Thai police get a small salary. Well that is no excuse for being corrupt. Lots of people in the UK get small wages, but they behave respectably.
sucked in
Me and all my mates Just got back from thailand and the samething happend to my mate he hired a jetski in koh samui it already had a massive scratch on it and the guy said yeah its ok u didnt do it…We got back arfter finishing with the jetskis and they go u put a scratch on it give us 48,000 baht we were all gunna punch on with em but then someone said dont do it coz they are in the mafia and they pay the cops off..Arfter 3 long days we had to pay the 48,000 baht..Thai fucks
