Tourist Trap: A taxi driver without change?

    • A water taxi ride from Flora Bay to Tuna Bay cost RM7 per person. We paid RM20 but the taxi driver didn't have any intention to give us the change. I asked him and he just said causally, 'NO change.'

    Believe it or not?! A taxi driver without change?

    "OK, then we'll pay exactly what we should pay." I handed out RM4 and asked him for the RM10 note back.

    My first time to be disappointed by a Malay local!!!!

    At Least Do This: Check the price of your taxi ride, pay exact fare or ask if they have change before getting on.

     You really had a great time in Perhentian, don't you? Same here. Just got back with sun burn and all. Working on my Perhentian page now. :D    		moonlighting Tue Jul 12, 2005 03:49 UTC
     Lovely pics... great inspiration to go there. Would you know how I can travel to Cameron if I will be coming from Perhentian?
