"Take me to the place I SAID!!" TAXIS Tip by jalapeeno

Dont get me wrong, taxis/tuk tuks are a great mode of transport, cheap, reliable, effective, and the drivers are really friendly.

However, some taxi drivers will try and take you to a ' better ' beach, or a ' cheaper' restuarant...

We asked to go to Little Italy one night in Calangute and instead we stopped outside the ' Midas touch' !

Please dont take this the wrong way as im sure most of the places in the world most taxi drivers get a piece of the pie for bringing in new business, its just sometimes annoying when you have spefically asked to go somewhere.

On the other hand they can be really helpful when asking for local knowledge.

Unique Suggestions: If you do get taken somewhere you dont want to be, simply ask to be taken to your original destinaition !

Fun Alternatives: The only other alternative is to walk!
