Top thing to avoid while visiting:
Avoid exorbitant taxi–fares by bargaining with the taxi drivers as they tend to quote higher for tourists.
Avoid accepting rides from random motorcycles.
Be wary of pickpockets in crowded areas-carry your backpack and wallets securely.
Avoid rush hours if possible as traffic is pretty notorious; 9-10 in the morning and 5-6 in the evening.
Avoid dodgy–looking massage and spa centers.
