One stop Bangkok

Bangkok is a wonderfully amusing, vibrant, clean, huge city. To get from one place to the other it you really aren't able to walk. So, the tuk tuk (3 wheeled moto-taxi's) drivers ask you how much you are willing to pay to go from point A to B. When you give them a figure say 50 Baht (about $2) they say how bout 10 Baht which seems great. But things here are sometimes to good to be true. Once you take off they tell you that you are going to be making a couple stops at some travel agency and a suit shop where upon you try to convince them "NO STOP NO STOP". Well...once you say those words they STOP...the engine and tell you to get out. This has happened already 5 times.

We are on our way out of Bangkok tomorrow to take the overnight train down to Phukett and go Island hopping and sunning.
