Did I get ripped off by a Tuk Tuk Driver? Or did I rip them off?

For the rest of my stay in Bangkok, I will be looking at every Tuk Tuk driver with some degree of paranoia.

I managed to get a ride off two of them, free of charge...! one of them, was addmitedly accidental, and i waited faithfully for him! Until the other drivers started harassing me, asking me where i wanted to go, telling me he wasn't coming back, and while i insisted on waiting, after 10 minutes, there was still no sign of him, so they started insisting some more. In the end i got a ride to MBK,.... for free. I didnt' quite believe it. But i hopped on, and surely enough, I didn't have to pay when I got dropped off....

o.O *so confuzzle*

The third time I got on one however he charged me 150Baht, back to the hostel. Gahhhh...

Waiting for the arrival of N'tissue..! woot woot.

he would've been getting a commission from someone for dropping you off at the shopping centre i reckon. they often get commissions from stores/shops/dodgy people for taking tourists "for a ride" hehe
