Mia: We almost got scammed in Bangkok!!
Jack: What happened???
Jack: Is everything ok??
Mia: Yes, all is good. We got our money back.
Mia: So we got approached by a "friendly" stranger on the street who presented himself as a teacher and built our trust by telling family stories.
Mia: Then he recommended us some tourists attractions i.e. The Happy Buddha and some "excellent" tailors, where they had the "last day of promotion" he stopped a tuktuk for us and verified the driver's license (another trick to build our trust).
Mia: The tuktuk took us to the happy Buddha. 
Mia: When we entered the temple we were approached by a very friendly "Buddhist prayer".
Mia: He said that he worked in London for the Thai trade mission.
Mia: He asked us what were our plans for the day and recommended that we went to the tailors showing us a few pictures of clothing that he "ordered" there for him and his wife. 
Mia: The tuktuk took us to the tailors were a pushy seller persuaded us to buy some clothes of "very good quality". 
Mia: As soon as we paid the tuktuk took us to the next tourist attraction but on the way we read the reviews on Google maps and we realised that we were scammed.
Mia: The reviewers were saying that once they ordered the clothes they were never sent to their country as promised or the finishing was very bad, definitely not worth the money.
Jack: Oh shit!! And you already paid!!!!
Mia: Yeah. We felt horrible!!
Mia: We asked the driver to take us back but he refused. Of course, he already got his commission.
Mia: We ran back to the tailors. Fortunately it wasn't far. Within 10 minutes we were back. We told the pushy seller to cancel our order.
Mia: He said it was impossible because the fabric was already cut to our measurements. 
Mia: When we asked to see the cut fabric it was nowhere to be found, as it was already "sent to the factory". 
Mia: Then we said that we were going to call the police.
Mia: Only then he agreed to return us the money.
Jack: What a story!
Jack: I'm glad that you managed to get it back.
Mia: Yeah. It's like 1500 USD!
Mia got almost scammed in Bangkok at the tailor's, but luckily, having threatened the seller with police, she got her money back.
