The WORST Tourist Trap in India
This restaurant and souvenir shop on India's famous Golden Triangle route is the worst tourist trap I've ever come across! The souvenirs are massively marked up, their cruddy restaurant charges 5-star prices, and they're busy breaking the law by rubbing out the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) on their snacks too.
This video will also help you learn the basic prices for souvenirs in India. Always buy them from a market rather than greedy stores like these. Even your hotel's souvenir store will be a better option.
Avoid Motel Gangaur (मोटल गणगौर) on NH11 Agra-Jaipur road at all costs!

Why Foreigners Don't Trust Indians in India (Tourist Trap Scam)
Kerala's famous Chinese Fishing Nets are the site for a popular sympathy scam that's taking advantage of foreigners. The fishermen pretend to be friendly locals and invite you onto their fishing nets, only to ask you for a donation!
This is precisely why a lot of foreigners are worried about meeting Indians on the street in India. They've had too many bad experiences with scammers who they thought were friendly locals. Scammers in India see foreigners as walking ATMs that they can manipulate into giving a lot of money.

In some cases of this fishing net scam, the fisherman will take your photo and then not give your camera back until you pay them enough money. Many foreigners have been caught up by this scam.
It's a misconception that scams aren't taking place in South India. In most cases, local Indians have no idea these scams exist because they don't frequent their city's tourist attractions and aren't targeted by scammers.

Exposing India's Begging Scams (Beware!)
Have you come across these begging scams? Not all beggars are genuine; I expose 3 fake beggars in this video so you know what to avoid when you travel to India. The most common begging scams I've come across are the Ranipur calamity fake charity scam, fake medical bills scam, and fake donation collectors.
These scams can happen anywhere in India. Begging scammers commonly target tourist areas, busy intersections, expensive parts of cities, and railway stations. If you meet any of them, just say no and keep walking. Don't fall for their lies. These are professional beggars who are trying to trick you into donating money to a fake cause.
If you want to give to beggars, you need to verify their story. If approached by a beggar who claims to be in a dire situation, exercise caution. Ask questions and evaluate their responses. Genuine individuals in need might provide coherent and consistent explanations.
Trust your instincts too. If something feels suspicious or doesn't seem right, trust your gut instinct. It's better to err on the side of caution and refrain from engaging with potential scammers.
Spread awareness: Share information about begging scams with friends, family, and your community. Increasing awareness about these scams can help protect others from falling prey to fraudulent schemes.

Avoid Penang's WORST Tourist Traps. ????????
I wasted my time and money at these Penang tourist traps so that you don't have to.
The Clan Jetties of Penang: Some old houses on wooden stilts next to the sea. They've almost all been turned into shops selling tourist tat. The Clan Jetties somehow has rating of 4.0 (out of 5) on Google Maps. That just shows you how easily pleased the average tourist is. Buying tacky souvenirs and taking cringy Instagram photos makes for a such a wonderful touristy time, apparently.
Fort Cornwallis: An old fort with nothing inside it except a few rusty old cannons and gift shop. Heavy construction is going on at 3 of the 4 sides and has huge sections of it closed off to the public. Foreigners pay double here! It's basically a scam that are allowing people to pay full price for a ticket without mentioning the heavy construction and closed off areas first. I usually enjoy visiting old forts but this was my worst fort experience in any country.
Do yourself a favour by avoiding the popular tourist attractions in Penang and instead spend your time eating up all the delicious food that Penang is famous for. That's probably why you came to Penang in the first place.

Avoid this tourist SCAM in Colombo, Sri Lanka. ????????
When travelling in Sri Lanka as a foreigner you'll no doubt be approached by men who try to appear as friendly citizens. They will attempt to coax you to somewhere, such as a beautiful temple that you must go and see. Watch as this man follows me through the streets, desperately trying to convince me to go see the (fake) Tsunami Temple, despite me showing zero interest in it.
These scammers and their cheap tricks are not representative of the genuine good people of Sri Lanka. Unfortunately, as foreigner, they will be seeking you out so it would be easy to think that every local is bad when in fact it's a very small number of bad people.

SAVED FROM A SCAMMER in India (Beggar Scam Exposed)
Beggars in India will approach you all day long with a scam where they ask you to buy them expensive food items from a nearby supermarket. Find out exactly what they do with these items you give them and how you can really help people who really need charity in India.
Shot in Mumbai, this auntie and her entire family work the streets every day running this scam. During the scam, an Indian Nun came up to me to help me and stop me being scammed! She was terrific and demonstrates the lengths Indians will go to to help foreign guests in their country. This Nun actually knew the family and told me this women's daughters are being educated by her at a Christian missionary charity called Prem Dan.

AVOID VISITING THESE PLACES IN BALI (Tourist Trap) ????????
The other weekend I took a tour in Bali that was certainly not what I expected it to be. What started out as an information and fun tour quickly turned into one of the biggest tourist traps I've ever experienced. Taking a tour in Bali could be a great way to see the island, but make sure you avoid it at all costs. At this end, I give you my opinion of what you could do to get a better experience doing the same activities. Not as a upbeat this one, but something you should watch before coming to Bali!

WATCH OUT For This Tourist Trap Scam in Barcelona ????????
#shorts
DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY! ????????
Avoiding scammers, touts and hustlers is a big part of travelling in a touristic part of India. In Jaipur this is as true as anywhere in India.
After exploring the forts I tried to walk away from the tourist spot to visit the local side of Amer, hoping to see a more authentic side of the city away from scams and hassle. After making my way through annoying rickshaws, vendors trying to sell me cheap junk and a guy who tried to massively overcharge me on some snacks, I found myself in a local neighbourhood being guided by the local kids.
All was well until some big guy turned up and started demanding money from me. The kids had warned me about him so I was determined not give him any money. You can watch for yourself to see how that turned out.

Avoid this SCAM Pharmacy in Indonesia ????????
The last place that you'd think would try to scam you would be a pharmacy in a non-touristic area, right?
All medication in Indonesia is stamped with it's retail price. However this pharmacy in Sumatra has a policy of charging foreigners more than double. The medication I asked for was 22,000 for Locals and 50,000 for foreigners apparently.
The way to deal with such unscrupulous behaviour is to walk away and find an honest business to give your money to. Sometimes it may not seem like a big deal when you know you're being ripped off for a couple of bucks but if you willingly allow yourself to be scammed then you're just encouraging the scammers and making it harder for the next potential victim. Next it will be 3x the price, then 4x, and more as long as they can get away with this kind of behaviour.
But a better way is to put them on YouTube and expose their terrible practices to the world.

Avoid These Scammers At The Pyramids! ????????
90 Percent of the time I spent at the Pyramids was not spent enjoying the scenery, however It was spent chasing off the scammers and sales people.
It is a shame that the Egyptian government doesn't do something about it.
Apparently there are signs with set prices for camel rides (50 Egyptian Pounds for 30 minutes).
It leaves a bitter taste in the mouthes of tourists and really lowers the quality of the experience.
An Average hard working person in Egypt earns approximately 30-40 Egyptian Pounds for a full days work.
The 2 guys wanted about 700 Egyptian pounds for an hour camel ride which always ends up being about 30minutes. Thats a months salary in Egypt.
Unfortunately it is not only the Giza Necropolis that is like this.
Now Keep in mind it is not that I had a problem with paying 40 dollars for an hours camel ride, it is that their attitudes stank and their goal was to trick you and connive you.
Eventually I agreed to a rushed 5 minute ride for 150 egyptian pounds.
India Rickshaw Scams Exposed & How to Get the Best Price (Save 50%+)
Watch tourist drivers attempt to lie, scam, and rip me off - so you can avoid them! I've put a red X over their mouths when they're lying.
Stay safe in India and bargain like a pro with the India Survival Guide (Quick-Start Safety Guide)
One more tip, use Uber or Ola apps in India. They're cheaper and safer. Cheaper because it's fixed price so no need to bargain and deal with these rickshaw/taxi drivers. You get AC in the hotter months too.

HARASSED in Petra (The side of Petra they don’t show you) البتراء الاردن ????????
My first day in Petra was an eye-opener, and whilst Jordan is full of kind and friendly people, there are a lot of scammers and salesmen that prey on tourists at this world wonder.
I was harassed in Petra as soon as I went through the first turnstile, and in this video is a side of Petra that they don’t show you.
Watch as I head from the entrance to the Petra archaeological site to the iconic Treasury building, and meet some interesting characters along the way.

The Most Pathetic Scammers at the Pyramids! ????????
The scammers, hustlers and dodgy cops of the Pyramids are the absolute worst parts of Egypt's world wonder! They were hard to avoid, but luckily the kind Egyptian people really made my day!
Today is the much anticipated day! FNALLY, I got to go to the great pyramids! All my life I have wanted to see this world wonder, however, I did not have high hopes since I was told the scams and touts get very annoying and aggressive. It is true they exists and they get annoying, but if you are smart and have your wits, you can just say no until they move on.
The locals here made my day! Lots of them stoped to talk and take photos. But after a few photos, the most puzzling thing happened. I was about to take a photo with a local, until a cop called him over and told him he couldn't take a photo with me, I questioned why and he simply said it's not allowed and it is against the rules. This was very puzzling to me, the locals were not bothering me and I enjoyed the company. Cops suck :(

WORST Tourist Attractions Around The World To NEVER VISIT!
WORST Tourist Attractions Around The World To NEVER VISIT!
Welcome back to Around The Globe, today on the channel we are going to discuss the Worst Tourist Attractions Around The World. Here are some of the Worst Tourist Attractions Around The World. This large square in downtown Manhattan has appeared in so many films, and TV shows that you feel that you haven’t seen New York City unless you’ve made your pilgrimage here. The Little Mermaid, Copenhagen This 1.25m high statue was created in commemoration of the eponymous ballet and fairy-tale written by Hans Christian Andersen at the beginning of the 20th century, after which it became not just the symbol of Copenhagen, but of Denmark itself.
The Beatles Story museum is located in Liverpool’s dock area and is the focal point for fans of the Fantastic Four who come here from the world over to find out something new about the group and their background. They are, however, in for a disappointment – there are very few exhibits and those there aren't that riveting, and there’s not really anything original for visitors to see here that has not already been done to death in the public domain. For more Worst Tourist Attractions Around The World keep on watching the full video.
