Lots of tuk tuk experience in Bangkok. you seem to be having good time.. i was never sent to my tailor at bangkok so easily. Excelsior tailor who have been doing my clothes for over 10 years and while you sit on a Tuk Tuk they will push you to other shops where they get some comission or gass coupon.
Its fun to sit on them if not in a rush otherwise they can be a pain in the neck when you dont reach your destination.

Hehe... that, of course, happpens all the time. And we've been to some fun shops because of it, especially that jewelry place having guys with machine guns in front of it. Of course I had to take a picture of that. ;-) But it's rather easy to make clear to the tuk tuk driver when you don't want to stop anywhere else but your destination and they'll charge you more than they would with stops included.
