I was approached by a woman claiming to be Singaporian who had been in Phuket on holidays and had her passport stolen. She said she had to come to the Singapore embassy in Bangkok to obatin a new passport. She also claimed that the embassy told her that a new passport would take 3 days and they didn't give her any assistance with a hotel or cash. I would describe myself as a being a seasoned traveller but I really got scammed by this women!!
