As it turned out, the representatives of the business, often resort to fraud in order to pull the tourist as much money. More often than not, after skiing tourists say they damaged jet ski and have to pay a hefty sum for repair - about 100,000 baht. In this case, scratch, of course have already been on the jet, but the tourists, of course do not pay attention to it. It also happens that the payment for the "repair" business "beat" by the threats.
In this case, most of these unpleasant incidents occurred in Pattaya and Phuket.

Deal with it will help the new service standards for jet ski rentals and other equipment that will come into force on the day. Thus, the firm should have a legal license to carry out the relevant activities and a valid insurance policy, and the business must be tied to the place of permanent residence of a businessman. In addition, on-site rental must remain certified instructor, able also to provide first aid in case of emergencies. In addition, travelers should be aware from the outset the terms, conditions, price and time of driving.
That tourists were able to distinguish the "right" car from the "wrong", all trustworthy company will have signs with the logos of the Department of Tourism - on them is a picture of an elephant.
To work fraudulent scheme is no longer used, each personal watercraft and other equipment will be obliged to check for damage directly at the tourist and immediately prior to rental.
