I live not far from the 1001, it's my main road in and out, Chiang Mai to the South, Chiang Dao, Mae Tang, Pai etc to the North- the road to Samoeng nearby.
Almost daily now I see European hitchhikers trying to get a ride from the Moat to points further North, shirtless white males, single white females, I can't decide whether to stop and assist or try to run them over, I'm leaning firmly towards the latter. For goodness sake, the bus fare from Chiang Mai to Chiang Dao can be had for under 80 baht, how did these people get into the country and when will they leave.

Years ago I was offered a threesome by two young european birds if I would give them a lift back to Kanchaburi town from Erawan waterfalls.
I have lost count the number of times I have been approached and asked, do you speak english? before a hard luck story follows.

Get a pin and alter the position of your windscreen water jet to point towards the passenger window. Keeping the car in gear, pull up, wind down window, ask where they are heading and press the windscreen water jet to give them a free shower. Screech off and laugh.

The backpackers here in Myanmar take the definition of cheap to an all new level. Can I sleep at the monasteries for free? $20 is too much for an all day tour $9 is too much to hire an actual entire boat and driver for half the day Refusing to pay more than $15 for a private hotel room with en-suite facilities I got yelled at by one for stepping into KFC- I'm not authentic enough ! They do my head in- duck em!

A chum and I, aged 15, spent part of school hols. in Inverness, the route up there took us through Glasgow at night. We were terrified of its reputation and contemplated taking knuckle dusters and knives for protection but Dad said they wouldn't be necessary and promised he wouldn't stop the car until outside city limits.

Salt of the earth they are....love Glasgow I do. You are never alone in that city.
