Last October during our semester break I desperately wanted to go south to Khao Sok jungle.
I got to Hualamphong train station and looked for a train to Surat Thani, with the knowledge there was one leaving in about an hour. A guide with an ID card around her neck asked me if I would like some help? Where was I going? I told her, she took me to the terminal and said she would ask in Thai for a ticket, a minute later she came back shaking her head saying the train was sold out.....but she knew a luxury bus leaving within the hour and she would help me book a ticket.
She took me upstairs to a travel agent and sorted out the ticket, it would've cost double the train price and taken longer. I was in no hurry and declined. Despondently getting into a taxi back to my appt. it suddenly dawned on me what had happened. Luckily I didn't lose any money over it only 24hrs of a precious weeks holiday.
The next day I turned up about the same time went straight to the queue got a ticket, found the woman in question who was in the same spot as the night before, waved my ticket in front of her and called her a liar. Just to add to my satisfaction I waited in a seat until she approached another unsuspecting foreigner and as she went into her spiel went and told him my story...
My advice, there is a designated area for Tourist info, don't trust anyone wearing an ID card, some are real, some are not.
