It's low season in Chiangmai now, so tourists are few and far between.
Here's a little exchange I had with a taxi driver outside the central airport plaza mall a few minutes ago:
Me: How much to the Holiday inn?
Him: 120 baht.
Me: how about 100 baht?
Him: 120 baht please.
I'm about to say okay when he says this next:
"madam, I've been waiting for a long time for passenger:
Me (muttering under my breath) - well, continue to enjoy waiting then.
Walk to the next guy who's a little bit more realistic about the current state of the market and get on
