Tour & Activity Scams in Koh Phangan

Fake Snorkel and Island Tour Booking

Street touts near main piers and beaches sell counterfeit tickets to "official" island tours (Angthong, Similan Islands) at deeply discounted rates. Tourists show up at meeting points to find overcrowded speedboats with no safety equipment, no guide, or boats that never depart. Some tours operate without permits and abandon tourists mid-journey.
