Never trust a taxi driver who doesn't speak English!

Have you ever taken a taxi where you thought when getting in: "I'm not sure about this?"

Such began our afternoon. We were trying to get to Wawee Coffee House where they have unlimited Internet. So there we were loaded with two computers, bags and accessories. I was to organise the taxi so I thought: Easy, follow Russell and ask: "Do you speak English?" When the taxi driver's offsider ansered for him, I should have known. That is when we should have walked away. But no.

We told him we wanted to go to Wawee Coffee in "Walking Street" and also many location hints such as: "Three Kings Monument", "Walking Street", to no avail. He kept saying: "Noooooo, Working Steat only Suhday. No Working Steat Today; You go to nice Thai Massartch, very goot, nice ladies..." Much banter along the way he couldn't understand anyway.

I'm sure we went around the city two times, so when he eventually delivered us at the right spot we gave him a round of applause. We thought we would never get there.....

I've found that all the Thai men are charming and as I left the cab he told me he was also a tailor and handed me his card. A very smart cabbie after all.

Needless to say, we arrived at Wawee in time for this blogging session.
