What is the "Jet Ski Damage Scam" scam in Pattaya?

Question

Accepted Answer

Jet ski operators on Pattaya Beach claim tourists damaged their craft and present inflated repair bills of 10,000–30,000 THB. The alleged damage is almost always pre-existing. Operators work with associates to surround and intimidate tourists into paying on the spot. Photograph and video the entire jet ski before and immediately after your ride with clear timestamps. Use only operators with a visible Tourist Police presence nearby. If confronted with a damage claim, do not pay — go directly to the Tourist Police booth on the beach.
