Just a matter of being a fool or not as they say a fool and his money are soon parted. And "hey"....if you like to be cheated, that's great for you, but others don't. And yet you're being taken for a fool by CP et al every time you make a purchase at a 7-Eleven or any of the other big names. At least the tuk tuk guys are honest about ripping you off.

Why, because it makes too much sense? So you're happy to hand over tens of thousands of baht over the course of your life to already mega-rich corporations but you begrudge a tuk tuk driver a few extra baht when he's doing essentially the same as the corporation, just up close and personal? Methinks you're not as smart as you think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuk tuk drivers are hustlers but they do it out on the street instead of in the board room. I'm sorry for you that you can't handle the in-your-face capitalism despite (presumably) living here for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can't abide is arrogant gouging my low life 'hustlers'. They would sell their Granny for Sixpence and would not hesitate to rip off visitors to this country. The Phuket mafia are probably the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
