Dementedchris: Hay nako, oo! But so far, I’ve encountered more taxis that automatically turns on the meter. Well, mukha naman kasi akong local dito

Davidd: In English, mostly. My friend gave me an itinerary with the names in Thai, so I just point the name so they can understand where I want to go. In Aranyaphratet, they know some English, since a lot of travelers pass through the town to cross the border to Cambodia.

How are you communicating in Thailand — Tagalog, or English, or, do you speak some Thai? I found you can sort of get by with English in Bangkok, but outside of the big city it’s more of a challenge.

Too bad you’re not staying longer in Thailand. A trip to Lop Buri, to explore ruins and get harassed by monkeys, would be fun!

This is an AWESOME trip blog — probably your best work on the site since you started it!

Parang Manila din ang taxi drivers! Haha. I loved that bit about the national anthem, though. Hope your cold clears up soon!

I totally get you re: ‘not being friendly’ and shouldering the costs of the taxi. I’d probably do the same as well, rather than risk sharing a cab with smelly travellers, and having to do small talk for many hours!
