Bangkok: Of course I couldn't finish this blog without giving you the final score against the evil taxi drivers. I hopped in the taxi to go to the airport and the driver of course wanted to charge me a flat rate - 500 baht ($16 USD). I told him in no uncertain terms - NO! After explaining to him how his meter worked, he finally agreed to go by the meter. Final cost - meter 200 baht ($6.43 USD) plus tolls 75 baht ($2.41). I felt a bit guilty with my overly agressive "NO", so I did give him a 125 baht tip ($4.02 USD).
I tested one of the DVDs today prior to mailing them out to one of the winners and it didn't work on my TV. Hopefully you will have more luck than I did. Evil DVD bootleg sellers: 1 / Stupid tourist Chris: 0.
