Kidnapped by a cabbie

So we had about 3 hours free before going to the airport. So that ment it was time to see the sights - we had been offered a tour of Bangkok on a tok tok the day before for 100 barht (about £2) today however we were offered a 1 hour tour In a taxi for a mere 20 barht (40p) some people may become a little suspicious of this 'too good to be true offer' but not us - head first we go. When we get in the taxi we are then given a quick flick through a bunch of photos with mr cabbie I'm thinking are these photos of your previous victims - most serial killers like to keep soveniers!
Our seamingly unbeliveable off seamed alright, we were first tAken to a temple, ok - could have gone in side but that too was a whole 20 barht and we wouldn't want to go crazy! So we stood out side for about 10 minutes while some crazy old lady tried to sell me fish in a bag (bit like when u win a goldfish at the fair) take some photos and head back to out friendly taxi driver.



A temple (that is all the infomation I have)




Our lovely ride, next we are told 'I help u out u help me out' hmmmm then a detour we head towards our next destination bieng told 'you don't have to buy, u just go in and I get a coupon' what is this man blubbering on about? We park up to the words. 'Many many tourists' (have been killed here i'm thinking)
We escape the confines of the cab to beconfronted by men with machine guns, it seems i will not be proven wrong! The gunned men and some silk clothed ladies ushered us into the building where we were kindly offered a refreshment, we declined as it was clearly laced with somthing, we then were escorted into a factory type room and all became clear as we were in some mind of poshjewellery shop humm I will not be purchasing your Thai saphires I'm afraid!

After our tour of the many expensive items for purchase the tour lady got the hint that we would not be buying! And we were on our way ( via the gift store selling crocidile skin bags, ivory necklaces ( in a country that worships the elephant!) and the most vile stingray skin wallets!!! Humph!)
