On these pictures you can see two real McCoy Thai con artists and "the mark" aka tourist. The con goes like this. Unsuspecting tourist is warmly welcomed to Thailand by usually 2-3 kind Thai women, and handed small bags of corn which are then asked to be thrown to pigeons "for good luck". The tourist thinks that this is oh so nice gesture, but little does he/she know that the price could be steep. After the bags of corn are emtied and the tourist proceeds to move further he/she is told to "now give us some money" for the bags of corn. The price could be anywhere from 50 to 500 baht per bag. Be aware of this, otherwise you might find a picture of yourself from someones blog.
