Great vid and getting a good driver is a rare thing. Best driver I found was on the island of palawan in the Philippines. I was there for 5 days and he was like my private driver. Take me anywhere anytime, and showed me the best places to go. So I tipped well and gave a bonus when I went back to the airport to go to manila.

Around 3:00. The guy talking about Cambodian tuk tuk drivers being put out of work. My Cambodian friend was a tuk tuk driver in Siem Reap for years, got married a year ago, just had a daughter, opened a salon for his wife. But he pretty much had to pack up and leave back to his hometown to become a farmer because he couldn't afford to support his new family. It was the only way he could make enough/consistent money to support them. His wife and daughter also went with him. But it has been quite disruptive. He said the Pasapp drivers come from India. I feel bad for him but also admire his choice to find a way to go make an honest living before the taxi drivers take over completely. Now he's working on his farm (maybe bought a small piece of land) and is growing rice and raising chickens, and working everyday with little time with his family.

Very thought-provoking video, Ed. I use Uber a lot and I am not comfortable with it at times. Many say taxis have dug their own grave and I can understand that; on the other hand I think an even playing field is essential and somehow Uber, Lyft and the like were able to come in and undercut taxis without the same costs and restrictions. It is inherently unfair that a taxi (in Boston, anyways) needs to obtain a medallion at auction (upwards of $100k) just for the right to have a taxi and an uber driver just needs a car.

That made me smile Edd. Some of those independent tuk tuks are works of art and there's always at least one of every corner, especially in Siem Reap and a lot of the drivers have a great sense of humour behind the hustle. I asked an aussie expat there why I didn't see many police about and he just laughed and then told me that a lot of tuk tuk drivers are police - the lowest of ranks that have got the poorly paid police job via a connection in the family and drive the tuk tuks to make the wages up. He then looked at me with a serious look and said 'You won't get away with anything on the streets of Siem Reap as most of them carry a gun'. All the best to you for the new year mate and if it wasn't for a bit of surgery I recently had, then I'm sure we'd be having a glass or three of that half a dollar Angkor amber nectar together.

Hi, Uncle Tim. Usually a tuk tuk into town (maybe 2 kilometers) will be two dollars, but those parked up in town will try and get three dollars for the return journey. So agree on the fare beforehand. PassApp, however, will be about half the price and it will be set. So you can see the appeal of this App tuk tuk.
