Thai Resort Scammer Caught - Our Weekend Salvaged

We pickup where we left off from the previous episode, stranded 3 hours out from Pattaya. After being scammed on our resort booking, we manage to find a similar resort with a vacancy where we can salvage our weekend and get the police involved to try and catch the original scammer.

Glad the scammer was caught.

[@REALPERSON-mv9mp]

The Thai police don't mess around!! Jail there is no place you want to be!!

[@DigitalNomadInvestor]

One of the cool things about Thailand are the unexpected twists and turns that happen all the time. You guys made good on your trip despite the speedbump to start off. Looked fun!

[@ugenescott111]

Yeah that looked like lots of fun and that evening meal looked great ! Thanks for taking us along I enjoyed it. 👍😊

[@mikediffley2042]

Hi Lou and Lan, I enjoyed this episode you made the best of it you don't seem to get stressed out over any mistakes. I would. Bye for now.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Mike 👍

[@user-tz6xf9mz4w]

Great news Lucas! Glad to hear your vaca was saved!😊 Enjoy brother!

[@TheLukanda]

Mate, Lan's core and leg strength is no joke. Impressive walking on the water mats!!!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yeah, not as easy as it looks for sure 🤣👍

[@REALPERSON-mv9mp]

As a farmer, I'm not surprised at all she has 1/4 ox power

[@karltraveldude7817]

Glad the got the crook ! Thank you for sharing ! Enjoy ...

[@johngagne986]

Oh man I saw that bedding and thought to myself so I can lay down on it but can I get up? Glad you all were able to pull it out of the fire Lucas!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Exactly 🤣👍

[@donquixote1502]

Yes, Lucas, I enjoyed this episode. I think this resort was great besides the beds. It´s always satisfying when scammers get caught! Thank you for sharing!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andrewmack2161]

The resort looked nice but having an activity schedule is definately not something I'd volunteer for, although I can see the attraction for a family with kids.

[@Walt-ck5qn]

Glad that you were able to find suitable accommodations; looks like everyone had a fun time. Food looked amazing! Icing on the cake was catching the scam artist too.

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@Robertmacmedia]

Glad everyone had fun after all thank for another great video Lucas 👍

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks 👍

[@frankkie3849]

Nice tour, food looks great, glad it went well for all. Thanks for sharing..😊

[@petertrusewicz7411]

Good job, good info.

[@paulcockley-gf4bc]

Love the content, keep it coming 👌

[@scottbulmer8226]

Love your vlogs Loucous, always interesting always informative and never repetitive. Most importantly you are never opinionated sticking resolutely to informing your audience. In my opinion one of the best channels regarding Thailand. However the resort you featured is my idea of hell 😂😂😂. Keep up the great work 👍

[@michaelshirley4874]

Hey. Lucas , I am glad the weekend worked out ok in the end buddy , it’s great that they caught the scammer , so much of this happened now , even experienced people get caught out , have a safe trip back to pattaya

[@jmsiii4751]

That was my favorite part of living in Thailand. It's simplicity of so many things. This video shows just that. Hoping to quit working again and retire in Pattaya (second time) before the busy season starts.

[@Abundancesobernew]

Good value weekend. Peace. Happy.

[@martykong3592]

:) THANKS MUCH for the follow up and share! Looked like FUN, and of course, the FOOD! ALL the BES and Cheers! :0

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Marty 👍

[@themacker894]

Your new resort looks better than the last resort. Congratulations! Can't wait to get to the end and see who the scammer was. ;)

[@nixworld767]

To keep the "Happy Ending" chain of good news going. Yesterday my GF asked her sister to wire 4000 Baht back home to Cambodia for some cattle related expenses. The sister inputted the wrong phone or account number into her banking app.....and off the money went, directly into somebody else's account. All day it was silence from both the bank and the recipient regarding this windfall and I assumed the money was gone forever. Last night we discovered that the recipient had actually returned the money! It was nice to have my cynicism over the situation invalidated. Glad you guys likewise had a happy ending after being scammed.

[@Thai.Farang]

Sick buffalo was it?

[@PeterBren]

​Thai Buffalos have very bad health. 🙂​@Thai.Farang

[@vorlon81]

Thanks for the Laugh when you said Thai Massage Room . Glad to see you alrite afterall

[@MrEye4get]

It looks like a fun place and time! I'm so glad you found the scammer. It's unlikely anyone will get their money back. Most scammers are fined a ridiculously low amount and no jail time.

[@paulinegiles5757]

Hi Lucas Fantastic video. It is tremendously interesting. I'm glad the scammer got caught. Stay safe😊😊

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Pauline 🙏

[@timothyrill3825]

Sometimes you are the bug and sometimes the windshield! So happy the rat got caught. The food looked good and 2 hour free beer helps you feel better. You captured people having fun that is what you hoped for. Good video and thank you for sharing.😊

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Timothy

[@jgb4unme1]

I'm glad the trip worked out well and they caught the baddie. Looks like it was a really peaceful setting. Have a great rest of your week!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Matthew 👍👍

[@PeterBren]

Keep posting I am keen to know whether the scammer went to jail and if you recovered your deposits. Good video!

[@paulhefner2813]

Looks like a fun time. I doubt things like that will ever come back to America. Thanks for the video and stay well.

[@Rides4Kickz]

You bet 👍

[@chrisphillips835]

Hey Lucas ,Very pleased it all worked out Chris happy Days

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Chris

[@plbmck798]

This was great update on what I am guessing a "traditional Thai" vacation experience would be. Honestly looks like a great time, but I understand your fatigue after the unplanned drama. I might bring a blow up mattress if I knew the beds would be that way. LOL. I despise scammers, so glad to hear they got caught. Great content as usual.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yeah an air mattress is a good investment

[@mauihowey]

Holiday salvaged, and culprits caught….makes for a fun time!

[@scottDchicago]

Greetings from Chicago! Thailand bound with the family in July.

[@seizethedayandlive]

Awesome adventures!

[@JohnSmith-cw4lv]

It’s an Adventure and you made the best of it

[@paulmorrison1009]

Hi Lucas. Great summer camp type program. Good looked great. Not to sure about your trip on the water with so many people on that raft. But at least things turned out right in the end 🙏🙏

[@Rides4Kickz]

At least it didn't sink 🤣😂

[@chrisminter271]

Glad it worked out ok for you guys. I'm guessing you may have felt a bit disappointed, but it was lucky you found that place at short notice. The evening meal and entertainment looked great.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Yeah, that was a winner, great evening and just a quick walk back to the loom.

[@Talktojake]

You’re a good sport my man.

[@travels129]

Waats ya favourite car in a sedan !! Ur the best vlogger in pattaya no doubt cheers!!!

[@franksaunders6534]

Glad it all worked out in the end, Loucous!

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Frank

[@crazyg74]

reminds me a bit of that recent enormous scam in a Jomtien condo complex.

[@judgiedee]

All's well that ends well!

[@Kiwionwing]

Your view looks better over paddock without cheap lake Plus you looking great with huge weight loss

[@tonyh6846]

Cheers mate 🙂

[@mariospenard5125]

Well organized resort! 🥰

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thank you! 🤗

[@pauliewalnuts7057]

Good job pal

[@ewengillies9826]

All's well that ends well mate. You looked like enjoying the seafood and why not. Bushyboy Oz

[@wcguthrie]

The trek to the river sorta reminded me of the bataan death march...

[@iandann8788]

But ,this was a great vid ,as usual ,thanks

[@Rides4Kickz]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@70s80s]

All’s well that ends well😉

[@lilo7019]

Thank you very much for sharing another great video take care All the best

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks, you too!

[@richardtaylor2361]

eexxttrraaa thick mattresses, the raft trip looks very glamour's. fun but maybe a little too fancy😃😃. good news about caching the thief.

[@sargy1916]

I wouldn't have my legs dangling off that raft...too many stories of escaped crocodiles 😀

[@effewe2]

That sucks! Glad it turned out well in the end.

[@carleto9597]

Good food and a good place to stay for the time spent there. At least they found the scammer. So enjoy yourself there and take care.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks Carleto 👍

[@137dylan]

I understand this was kinda last minute, but that resort doesn't look like my cup of tea. Glad they found the scammer.

[@davedaniels4967]

I'm sure it's a nice getaway, but at times it seemed like a lot of people in one spot. I always am amazed that these resorts are way out in the middle of nowhere!! But very quiet and relaxing.

[@southpaw1755]

I'm glad that everything worked out. It looked like a fun trip except for sleeping on the floor.

[@PassportBroThailandSteve]

Lesson learned❤

[@anthonycarney7849]

Looks great 👍 we

[@user-up9iq7ic8z]

I know I would rather Trush Your judgment on Booking a Trip or Weekend Get-A-WAY . The Boat Trip looks a little Rustic ?? I'm know We would rather have You handle a Trip , You never disappoint ....Thanks for taking Us along ...

[@Rides4Kickz]

very welcome 🙏

[@larrywheels762]

Id say you did good. Good food and beer. Nice early morning sunrise. No hangover .

[@dannywilliams5192]

wow what a lovely food every meal

[@davidhankins8070]

Good to hear that the guy got caught

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@antonioperezosorio7647]

A little bit of good news at the end 👍.

[@Rides4Kickz]

👍👍👍

[@missulu]

This turned out in your favor. The fried chicken place alone looked like the food was excellent! Good save!

[@Rides4Kickz]

yeah, the highlight for me 👍

[@Steve-xf4uv]

Glad the weekend turned out ok but getting scammed is not funny ! More and more of that these days too bad. I could not walk 2 steps on those mats; Lan did so well, she's really athletic. I noticed you didn't try Lucas. You coulda crawled !! The food and evening entertainement looked good, not so sure about those modified ?? pontoon boats.

[@davidpattison5860]

Never buy anything from Facebook, it’s every day stories of I’ve been scammed , just don’t do it or if you do please don’t moan about it on other social media outlets Glad you’re hopefully getting your money back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@frankkie3849]

Keep a hot pot and other equipment handy in your vehicle..when you’re traveling,,😊

[@Fultonfalcons86]

I say just enjoy the ride man have fun and be happy glad the scammer was caught I prefer to swim in clean water lol

[@user-tk7rf8vp6h]

Sounds like they scammed the wrong people haha, good for you guys!

[@icekangz817]

glad things were salvaged and the culprit has been questioned.

[@firstman9273]

I preferred the view of the field to the view of the lake.

[@AndyPat239]

fun place, especially for kids 😊

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Contraptions 😂😂😂 at least you get a life jacket Dot think I would be swimming in that river Food looked good

[@Rides4Kickz]

😂🤣👍👍

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

Man my poor back would be shot sleeping on that but still seems like a good deal. I hope they really caught that person and wonder if she will be able to get her money back.

[@andresinnett4319]

Wow that looks great 👍 those prawns 😊 , easy to get scamed when it's an inside job👺 🧐good to see ya all had a good time✌️

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks 👍

[@jodycanfield6684]

Amazing that they actually took measures to find the scammer and arrest him. Perhaps people will get their money refunded? 100+ counts of scamming should add up to quite some time in a Thai prison.

[@SurinLeiningen]

A couple times on the raft trip I wanted to shout "There be Whales"

[@jryecart8017]

or the line from MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM, "while McCain pulls the boat thru piranha-infested waters, LAN looked for crocodiles"

[@chriscorleone3565]

Wonder how many times they thought of crocodiles?

[@Rides4Kickz]

🤣😂🤣👍

[@rsanders1569]

Raft with PVC pipe, what could go wrong? LOL. I'm bring a lot of Mega Sunscreen in July if you need some. Do they have Canoe'ing or floating down rivers on innertubes? My family goes to a river with rapids called Current River in Salem, MO and they love it. Hope she is able to get a full refund.

[@Rides4Kickz]

I have seen the innertubes before, I believe in Kanchanaburi, that is another river recreation destination.

[@michaelstuart8775]

Rafts look great and more importantly Leo with a straw. Class Krap Pom

[@Rides4Kickz]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewrobinson2565]

Not for us, but great to see +1 👍😁.

[@bobbritch9555]

“no this is not a thai massage parlor 😂

[@SandDuneProperties]

Luv the rafts... Thailand is not very OSHA compliant in any way, shape, or form. It's awesome!

[@Apetetrek]

100 dollars for a weekend .thats nothing i spend that in two hours in a crappy pub in london.

[@12121149]

Why the complaning??

[@REALPERSON-mv9mp]

I talked to the former manager, it was her idea to just have the mattresses on the floor. they had so many complaints of squeaking bed springs at night. I appreciate the resourcefulness of the rural Thai people. Some safety chains would be a good idea on the wagons. Thanks for the video, Mark

[@bigdavoc1]

hope the thai baht was returned back

[@scott5627]

What's the name of this Idin resort

[@PeterBren]

We can tell you are America "We saddled up and . . ." 😅

[@stephenwilcox3295]

Is this a lake or a pond?

[@Darren...son4634]

Looks like you are roughing it a bit mate

[@Thorbjorn-xj5hq]

Whenever I see the sign resort I run faster then the speed my money will disappear if stop

[@sidecar7714]

Safety third and beer with a straw 🇹🇭😂

[@Rides4Kickz]

There ya go 👍🤣

[@iain_nz.]

shame you got caught into the scam ! :( can you not get your money back ?

[@Rides4Kickz]

maybe later once the case is adjudicated

[@molonlabe9602]

Don't do group trips anymore. There's always people late to things costing others their time and experiences. In Europe we missed a complete stop because 1 person got back to the bus really late. And other stops on every day we were always waiting for late people to get back to the bus.

[@Rides4Kickz]

Very true, the Chinese tours do a good job with that, if you are last or late to the bus you are shamed by the others resulting in a total loss of face, for that reason, they maintain a decent schedule.

[@billsimpson2392]

👍

[@markwalker6673]

i use Agota , take care of things , not through facebook

[@herranton]

Yet another video without Harry Potter and his girlfriend. They need to get back to Thailand.

[@jameswest3275]

who is that at 00:34? :)
