The day that we went to see the Grand Palace, we also wanted to see the Sitting Buddha and the Standing Buddha, but we knew we would have to use a Tuk-Tuk to get to both locations. Luckily, a Thai man helped us bargain a deal with the driver. The tuk-tuk drivers are difficult to deal with. So, the deal was that the tuk-tuk would take us to each of the Buddhas and then back to the Grand Palace for 50 baht, which is less than 2 dollars.
As we were coming out of the Sitting Buddha there was a police officer on a motorcycle, and he appeared to be writing our driver a ticket. She motions us to get in to the tuk-tuk. Sean and I are sort of looking at each other like, is she really getting a ticket? Then our driver says, "Exuse me, my husband" pointing to the police officer. He smiles and says, "Right, her husband." It was funny, because everyone tries to get out of a ticket, no matter where you are from.
