Just arrived in bangkok, here are my observaions.
Don't drop cigrette butts on the floor near policemen. Instant 2K baht fine.
Dont be taken in by english speaking thais showing you round the sights and then offering you food at a restaurant. Trust me, the bill will be extortionate. Refuse to pay and you will enjoy the company of well built doormen.
Taxis on the meter are cheaper than Tuk Tuks.
Don't bring a full bag. Everything is soooooooooo cheap, you could arrive without a bag and still be just fine.
If you plan to take a night train north to chiang mai, book well in advance as they fill up pretty quickly.

I thought about this after and I think I used the wrong word. I just think it's funny that someone actually fell for all of the most classic scams in the book (except the cig butt thing, is that new?) and obviously didn't receive or listen to the most basic advice there is when you go to Thailand. Seemed odd to me.
