[[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) had a nasty experience with a guy who suddenly wanted 500 baht for a short ride. He then actually called the police. The corrupt police was actually ready to go to the police station so [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) settled with paying 400 baht (100 baht was not enough). (This was after 4 very nice rides across the island, including a free veggy dinner in a restaurant.)
