Be careful with some of the comments, and commenters, here. Just yesterday Alephnerd was confidently proclaiming there are no tuk-tuks in Thailand anymore. This is just.. completely, easily provably false and it's baffling why anyone would make such a claim. Source: me, who lives there. Fact-gathering methodology: looking out my window.
I would take anything from these commenters with astounding tales of the "inside scoop" with more than a pinch of salt. When there's a story with a bunch of mostly unverifiable claims, and the part that is verifiable turns out to be total nonsense, it makes me more than a little suspicious about the rest of it.
