A lesson in tuck-tucks

1. Tuck Tuck drivers don`t know where anything is. So bring a map, preferably with Thai translation of road names. Although, we came across a driver who said he can`t read Thai.

2. Always bargain the price. Go as low as possible, you both end up meeting each other half-way anyway.

3. Write the price down and show the driver. Get a nod. Sidenote: our first tuck tuck driver charged us 150 Baat instead of our original agreement of 50 Baat: lesson learnt.

4. When it`s hot, tuck tuck about. Otherwise, you`ll be caked in sweat.

5. Just get a metered taxi. These are half the fun but half the price, and also come with air-con.

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.” Carl Sagan
