I took a sunset tour on the Mekong my last night here. I hadn’t planned on doing it, but the tout that was selling it said that it was only 6000kip (about $0.80). I couldn’t believe the price and must have asked him about five times, “6000” I even made the statement that, “that’s really cheap.” He nodded his head and I returned when it was time for the boat to leave the dock. The only thing that changed was the price, it was now 60,000kip (about $7). I decided that I didn’t like feeling like I was being tricked so I declined and walked along the bank of the river taking photos. After about ten minutes the guy calls me over and lowered the price to 40,000 kip so I said okay. In my opinion, 6,000 kip was too cheap and the roughly $5 that I spent on the 1-hour cruise was fair. I got some nice photos and enjoyed being on the boat so I was satisfied and I’m assuming that the guy was satisfied as well.
