We did not even know how great our hotel are located. Lub’d is very close to Siloh, busy shopping and partying area. City is Big, Busy, polluted and drivers willing to drive in Tuk-Tuk, four-wheel mopeds with a loader, you for peanuts… ahhh there is a hook… There is a open business proposal from local tailor shops. Drive visitors to my shop and you will receive free gas cards. It is understandable because who can raise a family on 10-50 bath per ride. It is ok once perhaps twice to buy into it however the third time and you are still discussing not to enter at the store you are getting “pissed”. Some stores are nice with nice materials. We certainly did not plan to change our personal wardrobe into high fashion “Versage style” on the trip, more towards “fisherman's pants’ and flimsy shirts. So how to go around it. Well know first where you are going. If they tell you they can tour you you are most likely to end up in a tailor store. Like the driver will tell you… “no work-no buy, look interested have a glass of Pepsi and then leave, stay 5 minutes” he’ll get his darn 5-liter gas card (250 Bath/ $10). Dude - I’ll pay you that not to have to enter one more taylor store!! It sounds like no big deal, thais’ can be pretty pushy… after 3 stops one day still not at that temple it is a little bit frustrating… oh I forgot to mention it is about 35C/ 90F and 85% humidity… you are sweaty and getting grumpy after a while.
Pic - Here we are at WAT THEWARAT KUNCHORN, we finally got the message through to the driver that we are NOT interested in a suite, not even for Madame
