Dangerous Travel Mindset

When we ended up on a tour of the golden triangle by car, we had no choice but to leave our big backpacks in the car. We did not ever fully trust our driver until we had left him and knew he had not wronged us.

when he was not looking, we took photos of him and the car liscence plates. Memorised the address of the place we got sold the tour from. And kept our most valuable items and documents with us always. I was on constant high alert, and hard to relax.

The night before we left, he bought a big bottle of rum and we went into a resteraunt. We made sure we did not drink as much as he did, we needed to remain on-the-ball. Later, he gave us the rest of the bottle as a gift.

luckily, he was just a lovable drunk, and was trying to impress us so that we would reccommend him to others. However, I would be equally vigilant in the same situation again.
