Why is this a setup? Sounds like the usual tuk tuk spiel - you want weed, girls, boys, young girls etc etc. They usually deliver, though of unknown quality...

only users are typically paranoid enough to see a scam or setup anywhere they go. Most tuk tuks operate the same way, just conducting their daily business. The ones that don't know me I openly approach with :"I don't need a girl, don't need weed, and hell I don't need a katoy. Pub Street please, HOW MUCH"??? They normally smile, name a reasonable price and off we go. But good to finally have an idea what Khao San Road would be like. Have not yet managed to see it myself.
