Always be on the look-out for scams in Thailand.  A known scam is accusing a tourist of shoplifting in duty-free shops at the Bangkok Airport.  Then, the scammers will threaten the accused with long prison sentences, after which they will offer to make the problem "go away" for a price - around 10,000 baht or more.  If this ever happens, never accept the terms, and contact your embassy to clear things up.
