Wednesday, December 23 - There are tuktuks everywhere in PP. You can’t go outside your hotel without someone asking if you want a tuktuk ride. If you want to walk (as we often do) you can’t go 20 feet without another driver asking to give you a lift.
So in order to get from the hotel to the riverfront, where the restaurants are, you have to pass several hundred tuktuks. And every 3rd or 4th one will be certain to ask if you need a ride.
But you’d think they would learn that, if we wanted a tuktuk ride, we would have taken the one back at our hotel! Oh well, you can’t blame them – they’re all just trying to make a living. But it gets tiresome after a while.
Thankfully, like most Cambodians, many tuktuk drivers are cute. So it’s not really a hardship to have to look them in the eye and say “No, thank you.”
We want pictures! Get a really handsome one and then offer him a bit of money if you can just sit in his tuktuk for a pic!
ReplyDeleteOur tuk-tuk driver for two days was cute. Of course we only had picture from his back with his helmet on. But we remember his cute smiles :)
