I remember the nicest scam I fell for back in 2007 — corn in the hand scam.

A little lady comes up to you near Wat Pra Kaew and puts a handful of corn kernels in your hand, then takes a step back waiting for you to pay her for the corn she just gave you to feed the pigeons.

If you don’t pay, a few men try to intimidate you into paying, unless you just walk away.

But I haven’t seen that scam since then.

There’s also another nicest scam — the “you’re so tall” scam. Random people will approach you and comment on your appearance to open up the conversation.

They always begin by telling me “You’re so tall” because I’m 6’3’’. Then they try to lure me into some local shops.

I’ve been here so long I can spot them coming, so I say to them “You’re so tall” before they can say it to me. Makes them very confused but gives me a good laugh.
