@Warks - my sympathies - we've had a similar experience in Thailand (and other Asian countries) - which is why we don't travel there anymore - it's not the financial impact but the hassle and that horrible feeling of being duped when you know you should have known better.
 
Never been on AC - this is a QF/ WS situation….ive validated with QF lost luggage and they already knew (as did I) that bag didn’t get loaded in MEL. After all, I was only there for 3hrs…can’t put them under that sort of pressure…
As I landed in YVR the AirTag showed the bag in HKG… having a lovely trip on its own…
 
Well with nearly 200 visits to Thailand we have experienced many attempts at scamming us with no serious consequences.
The worst feeling was being stopped by 2 policemen near the Paragon centre. They stopped us and said that we had broken the law but they wouldn’t report us if we gave them 2000 baht. I was pretty quick that day saying I didn’t have any cash but I could pay with a credit card. And look there is a police station just below us. Can you please take me there. Suddenly we had not broken the law.
 
Getting out of the MCG after the grand final we walked down to Mantra on Jolimont. Unfortunately we got scammed by an ah taxi who ran us to our apartment near Crown casino. We won’t do that again.
