Hi Jax,
hope you's are having a great time. Remember to have one for all of us!!!
I have heard they try the same scam with motorbikes. Advise was if you are renting anything to take photos of it before you take it. If they see you do this they probably won't try one on!!

So the tuk tuk prices/scam hasn't changed. I hope to be able to come upon a driver who hires himself out for the day. Have heard there is one up near gracelands (in a liberal way) near a 7 11 that charges 600bt. Even if you negotiate with him and get his phone number and just call him when you need a lift. Has to work out cheaper in the long run.

But I agree with you...something needs to be done!! Not all of us have oodles of money but it is more the fact that we do not like being ripped off!!
