He drives one of these old style tuk tuks, and sometimes business is slow, because these days everyone wants to travel in the more modern ‘passapp’ tuk tuks. These old style ones are much airier, more open and cooler, but many people, locals especially, think they are old fashioned. So every time we travel with him he get’s a big tip, and in this instance, also a gift of 15kg of rice plus various sauces. As well as being a driver he also works at a cafe as a security guard / concierge, which pays around $140 a month. So these big tips and gifts are like a days wages or more. Makes a real difference. Plus he’s a really nice man and deserves a little extra help in life.
