Now it's complete, and many locals were there on weekend.<br /><br />Hitchhinking (twice so far, thumb up at a main road) was free. When I chat with locals and they offer me a free ride, I am well aware that the total expenses will be the same when I hire a driver. But you get to chat with locals, see some other areas, and in the far future I might even hook up with one. I don't tip, but pay for beer, karaoke, petrol when asked for.ChristianPFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308749125539367002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304897538463565568.post-1268888452882379892014-05-29T04:09:14.754+07:002014-05-29T04:09:14.754+07:00are you tipping for these lift the locals offer yo...are you tipping for these lift the locals offer you & for the other trips when you hitchike a lift, thats the only reason they are stopping because you are falang with moneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304897538463565568.post-72436394303317413772014-05-28T16:25:51.285+07:002014-05-28T16:25:51.285+07:00Fascinating report, going to this kind of places f...Fascinating report, going to this kind of places for a one-night stay is high on my to-do lists, And chasing local cuties is part of the adventure. <br />I read this on an old tourist guide ("Tales from the Other side", ed 1997 with information about each and everyone of the then 76 provinces) : "the only reason you may went to visit (Ang Thong town) is if you are on a mission to visit every province in Thailand" - obviously not true. ilzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678112831696035157noreply@blogger.com
