Satisfied with the shots I’ve taken from the Golden Mount, I made my way down to where my tuk-tuk driver was waiting for me. To my consternation, I was unable to locate him. I went around the Golden Mount several times looking for the tuk-tuk driver but I couldn’t find him. One of the gates had a row of tuk-tuk drivers waiting for passengers but none of them look like my original tuk-tuk driver. They even asked what I was looking for and they said that my driver was gone.
Thinking that it was just a trick by those tuk-tuk drivers to get me to hire them, I kept searching for my driver. After an hour of fruitless searchiing, I finally conceded, the driver was truly gone. i kept thinking that the driver won’t disappear just like that since I haven’t even paid him yet. But it was true, he was truly gone. Anyway, irritated that I got abandoned in the middle of nowhere, I walked past the tuk-tuk drivers and onto the main road and quickly hailed a cab. I asked the cab driver to bring me to the shopping district since I still need to shop for snack to bring back to the office.
The driver doesn’t speak much Engllish but was only pointing out landmarks along the way. I got to experience the infamous Bangkok traffic, but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Probably because it was still before the lunch hour rush. The driver brought me to Siam Paragon, one of the large malls in this area. This was so convenient, I thought to myself, I should have taken a cab in the first place.
