Expecting a tuk surge after the parade. Walk farther out first or hold a pickup pin near our stretch. Not tuk-versus-walk from the hotel before start, and not post-ended tuk tips from another night.

Walk a few quieter blocks toward a known junction before hailing — surge pricing and chaos hug the densest leave corners.

Hold a pin only if elders cannot walk; otherwise a short walk first usually finds calmer drivers.
