I have only been "scammed" once in Thailand (many times in India though).
Myself and a couple of friends were standing outside a temple in Chiang Mai when a man approached us. He asked what we were doing and as my friend was short of underwear,said we were looking for some pants. I can help you he said, come in my car. So,as we had nothing better to do,we played along knowing full well what was going to happen.At every stop, i.e gem factory, arab shop etc. we would go in and ask all the staff for pants and disreguard all of the, I must say, beautiful items..The man would get his "calling in" money and we had a good tour of the shops. When he took us back to the centre of town, we asked him to park by a policeman (that scared him!) He asked us for some petrol money but we declined as he had not found any suitable underwear for my friend.
Now, when a tuk-tuk or taxi driver approaches me, if I have the time,I will engage in a series of nonsensical questions until he either gets the idea I dont want to go anywhere or we end up laughing.
I have only had good experiences with tuk-tuk/taxi drivers,maybe its because I am clear where I want to go or maybe its my attitude. Who knows?
