Pesky Thais

Upon visiting a few major tourist destinations in Thailand, I’ve discovered another dimension of the Thai people – their persistency. In every port, ferry, and airport I have visited in Thailand, we have been literally mobbed by locals offering accommodation, taxi, drinks, and food. While I usually have a lot of patience, I started to realize their persistency was getting out of hand when we were continually being harassed while we were eating in a restaurant. After a few weeks of harrasment, I’m coming to the realization that wearing a large backpack in Thailand is like wearing a bulls eye on your back.
