h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello Editors/curators!

I wrote this article a while ago (2003 - wow), and was quite pleased with it at the time! It was edited - with very few changes (thanks!) - and put into the guide quickly.

Over the years it's attracted two types of comments - tourists recognise and like the article, Bangkok residents hate it. The overall impression is that it's a good article, but only if you're a "hitch-hiker" - which is the target audience of the article.

Hopefully, with a couple of small changes, we can remove some of the anger from the dicussion conversations!

Could the first sentence be changed to "If you're a tourist in Bangkok, Thailand, here is some advice about taxis."?

Secondly, under "General Principles", could the first line be changed to "Once he has ascertained that you are a green tourist, some taxi drivers, no matter what sort of vehicle they drives, will increase the estimated journey cost by at least double. " ?

Hopefully these changes will please the residents, without losing the heart of the article.

Hope this is OK for consideration.

Kind regards,

Judge
