Tuk-Tuk

I wont have the chance now...

But if I ever return to Thailand Im going to buy a tuk-tuk...

Park RIGHT IN FRONT of the first Tuk Tuk driver I see who got some passengers and is ready to drive off; Lets call him Rahmed.

Me: "Hello how are you do you need Tuk Tuk?"
Rahmed: "No thank you, I am a-"

Me: "I show you all the temples, what you wanna see? Angkor wat,wat phramad, wat suharassy, the markets and elephants?"
Rahmed: "No,"

Me: "I show you 8 temples for special price. Special prize for you, just for you, 800 Baht."

Rahmed starts looking angry... and just a slight touch of red...

Rahmed: "I call police now ok?"
Me: "Aaaah, you from Thailand, I hear your accent... I love Thailand, BANGKOOOOK!! Thailand is my friend and special friends get special prize.... 700 Baht for 3 hours temples"!!

Silence...
Rahmeds passengers start murmuring...

Me: "Hello my friends! Do you need tuk-tuk?"
Them: "We are in one allready, if you cou-"
Me: "He is no good driver! Last week I saw him drive over a cute puppy... and he didnt even wear his seatbelt."

Them whispering to each other.

Me: "And... and his mother does it with PIGS!"

Ahmed starts walking towards my tuk-tuk.
I slowly, slowly drive backward keeping just, just out of reach of Ahmed.
The passengers get out of his tuk-tuk and walk off.

Ahmed: "Look what youve done! Customers gone! What are my children going to eat now?"
Me: "Rice bitch, like every other night."

Ahmed drives off, of course I follow him, to his house, so I know where he lives...
Ringing on his doorbell at 4 am: "DO YOU NEED TUK-TUK?"

Because there are more tuk-tuks out there then I can herass alone I would need to start a tuk-tuk business. Hiring some staff for 20 baht an hour. Then go driving with groups of 3, completely surrounding the first tut-tuk you see out there.

Me: "Sir, sir, you need tuk-tuk?"
By now they know me...
Noote: "Get lost, I am IN a fucking tuk-tuk."
Me: "Yeah, but you kinda cant drive to anywhere, youre sort of stuck..."
Noote: "That is because YOU are in my way, get lost."
Me: "Are you sure you dont want a tuk-tuk? I have cheaper rates then you."

Anyway... enough day dreaming.

Songkran
Songkran, like I said, is the Thai new year, celebrated greatly throughout the country with water fights. I find it really really good. Celebrating with the whole city on the streets for four days. Mile after mile where people stand near the river getting buckets of water to throw over each other. Sometimes adding big blocks of ice for the "chill" effect and everyone is (forced) to join in. Either you get a water gun and get your revenge or you are a passuve bystander, you will get wet.

There are as much people throwing water from the back of vans, trucks, 4wd, and scooters as there are standing on the street and it starts from early to about 6 pm. I spend most of the 4 days roaming around Chiang Mai with a watergun, "wishing" everyone a good new year, hehehe.
