Closed? Best check for yourself.: I am sure you have read it in...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am sure you have read it in your tour books, but it is true that people will approach you and say that it is a holiday and the Temples are closed, so you should go in their cab/tuk tuk/van and they will show you the best places to get deals on jewels/silk/gems. This is a big scam.

    Also, some taxi drivers will try not to use the meter. Just get out and flag another one. You can get a taxi anywhere in town for $2-3 US, so don't bother with the tuk-tuk's unless you want to use them once for fun. Otherwise, take an airconditioned cab.

    If you are having trouble finding a cab, go to any big hotel (and they are everywhere) and the doorman will hail one for you. Be sure to tip him!
