Ayutthaya Historical Tour Allegedly Linked to Pyramid Scheme

According to a report by Matichon Online on September 28, 2026, a woman has filed a complaint against an Ayutthaya-based historical tour operator. The complainant alleges that the tour company is operating as a front for a pyramid scheme.

She claims that the organizers invited participants on historical excursions primarily to capture photographs of them. These images were subsequently used without clear consent or context to promote a business model that she identifies as a pyramid scheme. The report suggests that the tour experience was secondary to the recruitment and promotional activities associated with the alleged scheme.

For travelers and residents, this incident serves as a reminder to exercise caution when booking niche or social-media-promoted tours. It is advisable to verify the legitimacy of tour operators through official tourism boards or established travel platforms.

As of now, the specific identity of the tour company has not been publicly disclosed in the initial report, and the allegations remain unverified. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether a formal investigation into the company's business practices has been launched. Potential participants should remain vigilant regarding any tour that prioritizes promotional photography or recruitment over the advertised historical itinerary.
