Almost got got “Tourist Trapped”

expatsbuddy
For you first timers looking to explore Thailand we almost got got… embarrassing enough because I am “Thai”… we took a grab to check out Mae Klong Train Market in Samut Songkhram then afterwards taxi “grab” guy took the wife & I to what we requested “Amphawa Floating Market” completely ignored my request & took us to the scammy side of Damnoen Floating Market until the wife called out the Grab driver and demanded he take us to the actual entrance side & not the scammy side. They were charging like 2-4k+ baht for 2 people. Seen same situation on TikTok/IG Reels etc etc warning people & the situation unfolded exactly as they said so we had our guard up. Fortunately no drama no issues but a warning to those that are first timers to be alert and prepared to be put in an awkward & uncomfortable situation like this.Taxi guy literally drops you in front of this side hustle spot for floating market and acts like it’s the normal go to spot but in reality the main entrance is a good 30+ minute walk by road. I posted normal price at main entrance of the floating market in Damnoen.
