EAF Travel shoutout: Tuk-Tuks of Bangkok (Contd.)

Submitted by Raziel on Thursday, 23 October 2008No Comment

Continuing from the last post,

You give into the sweet tuk-tuk driver’s sincerity and he takes you to the Lucky Buddha temple before to the gem factories. You’ll find that the temple is hardly what you expected and it’s not located on your map. You might meet ‘someone’ at the temple and he’s going to speak great English and he’s going to wow you with his knowledge about your country! (he’s a professional of course he did his homework!) Then he’s going to smooth his way into telling you about what a lucky devil you are because you’re just in time for that great gem sale! Gem sale? Sound familiar? Well that’s cause your friendly Tuk-tuk driver just told you about it.

Anyways if by now you don’t smell that stench of scam (I suggest you see a ENT when you get home) then you will find yourself at the Gem factory because your Tuk-tuk driver is going to enthusiastically take you there.

Next time: What happens at the Gem factory outlet… Stay tuned fellow travelers because you’re going to want to hear about the scam within the scam.
