BANGKOK, NOVEMBER 7, 2012


Again we tried to walk around our neighbourhood but again tuk drivers and various others on the street, including a tourist police, kept telling us we should go to this market and that market and trying to put us in a tuk for a very cheap price.  We finallly caught on that if they take you to a gem shop or a tailor shop they get free gas and if you buy anything they get a kick back.  We didn't buy and our tuk driver had offered to take us anywhere for under $1 so he was frustrated and dropped us off at a tiny market when we had requested only to go to Boo Bea market.  We then had to pay a real price to get back to our hotel and had not had our walk, explored our neighbourhood or seen the market.  So we went for a foot massage.  Then we went for a Thai massage.  Then we packed as we have an early morning tomorrow.
