Samlors, Udon Thani

This is fairly mild as far as warnings go, but important if you like to move fast. The easiest way to get around Udon Thani is by taxi, and much of the time it's a small samlor as pictured here. If you haggle a low fare, drivers try to conserve fuel as much as possible by coasting along, accelerating a little and then rolling as much as possible. This happened to me a couple of times.

If it becomes too much, just slip the driver a bit extra and indicate the gas pedal. You can also emphasise before the journey that you're in a rush and the driver will not agree to a low price that is based on "coasting". Good luck!
