Run away tuk tuk!

Well today started off like any touristy day! Off to the grand palace we went ready for a day of history and learning!! But we arrived to find a "ceremony" happening and it was closed to the public! (SCAM ALERT - don't listen to the taxi drivers, tuk tuk drivers or randoms standing outside the palace - go up to the front entrance anyway (no matter what people say) if the Grand Palace is actually closed, the ticket office will tell you!!)

Alright, so off to a couple of different temples we go! Naturally we took a tuk tuk, negotiated a good price and took off. Our driver Leo was super cool, brought us to the first Wat and then we stopped at a tailor to have a look and of course he asked to take us to his friends shops to get his free gas coupons.. We agree just because we have time to kill... Then we got to the next temple, home of the giant buddah. Leo says he'll wait for us as he has all day, but when we left he was no where to be found... We waited ten minutes after realizing we never paid him... So we caught a cab and drove to the grand palace to find it closed... Uhhhg, so we'll try again tomorrow.
Oh Leo... YOU did leave us!
