Tuk-tuks: Took Took drivers
  • Tip Rating:
  • I was warned by another traveller to not trust anyone in Bangkok. Fortunately, I've met some very friendly folks.
    However, one guy on the street gave me tons of advise on how all types of event were free (like Thai Boxing, Thai dancing) at a fair, and how the "government took tooks" are only $0.25/hour today, and amazingly one pulled up right then.
    It was obviously a setup, and when I told them no thanks, the driver even called me stupid. So I called him a liar, and said I'd find a cop if he didn't get lost. No big deal, but beware of these guys. I also heard they'll tell you something like the National Palace is closed.
