From the current thread on tuktuk drivers, it seems universal that they are slimy and the same can be said for any taxi driver world wide, but no need to resort to violence. They should whack that American teacher's peepee! Cool name though, Jah-Juan. Sort of a Rastafarian meets Latino!

Of course, but no need to resort to violence. I just ignore them. But if ya really wanna get back at them tuktuk dudes, put some E coli in their rice.

Fair enough, but some people would then think, "should I give this guy $20, or wait to get arrested?"

Knock him out, tell him he had a case of wind and landed on his face

They continually blocked my place....threw their cigarrette butts, wrappers, beer cans and pissed on my plants all the time. When I started watering my balcony plants and the water would drip down onto their tuk tuks and motos they petroled my plants about a week later.
Very hard to win as a foreigner here.

My neighbour opened a noodle shop and I rented the front area to him.... So no real worries any more except I have to throw 3 buckets of soapy water a day in front because he never cleans the grease and dirt away.
