One of drivers I see on my rounds is a very old dude, my age, name of Tip.
We ALWAYS exchange smiles, wais and sawadi krups; and I’m usually asked, ‘Where you go?”.
Last night, walking home from dinner I just happen to have a travel brochure in my hand, so when he asked, “Where you go?”.
I said, pointing to the samlor and the photo of the Grand Palace, “How much?”.
He laughed and laughed, and pointing to his friend, said, “No, No, not me; he take you”.
***
The Grand Palace is in Bangkok, +/- 450 miles to the south.
