Warnings Or Dangers: Dishonest Samlor Driver

When you arrive at a bus or train station in Thailand, there are always samlor (tuk tuk) drivers hustling you to pick them for a ride. Most are honest and hardworking. We happened to pick a dishonest one in Udon. He first took us to the Udon Hotel instead of the Charoen Hotel (like those names sound alike?). He then tried to take us to the Charoensri Grand Royal Hotel but we were on to him by then. He charged 60 baht, so it was no big thing. However, it turned out the Charoen is just two blocks from the bus station. We could have walked there if we had known. Ah well, mai pen rai.

happy new year, Ray....trying to decide if I should stop in for a day in UT, or pass on through...I think the passing on thru is winning!
