As non-Thai speaking farang, every trip on the road yields a farang rate; and even with Grab, drivers are still pri*ks.

And I'm not sure why a tuk-tuk ride is necessary is Bangkok; they're not uncommon vehicles in the region, let alone other parts of the world. Is it the thrill of being taken for a ride?

Whereas I'm no fan of the SkyTrain, it does have that direct link to The Emporium.
