Other Tourist Scams in Ayutthaya

Fake station 'staff' steering to private transport

At Ayutthaya Railway Station, touts posing as station personnel approach foreigners with unsolicited 'help,' giving wrong information about train times or claiming the next service is full or cancelled, then steering them to a costly private minivan, taxi or tour they profit from. The station itself has posted English signs warning travellers about people impersonating staff.
