Years ago, flying from Bangkok to Kathamdu, and me and my friend had run of out Thai cash (last spent on bus to airport) and didn't want to change any more.
At check-in, 2 Nepalese guys asked if we would check bags for them: we looked at their stuff and given they appeared to be cornering the region's snow-washed denim market, we did.
Ate like pigs at the airport, on arrival in Katmandu, grabbed our own rucksacks and legged it from arrivals.
Not sure I would do the same nowadays....
