Unser Fahrer Rohan und sein Bruder standen schon mit ihrem Tuk Tuk am Bahnhof, als wir mit dem Zug ankamen. Man braucht bei 4 Personen( 2 Erwachsene und 2Kinder)schon zwei Tuk Tuk‘s. Vielen Dank für alles. Er hat uns auch verschiedene andere Sachen gezeigt, die nicht im Programm der Tour waren, vielen Dank dafür. Man muss wissen, dass manche Punkte welche in der Tour sind, Verkaufsveranstaltungen sind. Rohan hat uns aber immer gesagt, ihr müsst hier nichts kaufen.”
