Bangkok Scams
I'm sorry to hear about all the attempted scams in Bangkok, but they seem small (to me at least) compared to Hanoi in Vietnam, and it sounds like you will be in Vietnam next.

One of them even goes so far as to put a fake street number up to make you think it is the real one across the street, this is in addition to hundreds of them stealing the signs and the names etc. Also beware of people offering to fix your shoe, taxi's where the meters suddenly jump for no reasons, gas stations where they pump your gas on top of the bill the previous person already paid, etc, etc... Still Vietnam is an incredible place, enjoy!
