There are a bunch of tuk tuk and moto guys that hang out there to get those customers. As we were stopped one of the tuk tuk guys stepped into the door of the bus and said tuk tuk to Otres Beach. He was trying to trick the barang who'd never been there before into getting off at the gas station and taking his tuk tuk to Otres. This of course is a much longer way than staying on the bus until it makes its last stop in Ocheteal. Or if it was a Sorya bus it wouldn't go all the way to Ocheteal but would go much further in that direction anyway. And the gas station is quite isolated and would leave anyone who got off there with very little choice.

A couple of girls where about to get off the bus and take the bait but I signaled them not to do so and they didn't. As the bus pulled out of the gas station at least one of it tuk tuk guys flipped me the bird.

The thing that really pissed me off was that the bus driver was entirely willing to cooperate with the tuk tuk guy and didn't warn the girls and looked at them as if, well are you getting off the bus? And this is Golden Bayon one of the more expensive bus companies.
