WhatsApping a driver for Saturday 4pm pickup so we get a kerb - lock him tonight or wait until morning
We are not doing a 5am alarm. We are doing Saturday 6.28 from a kerb we can actually sit. Driver who dumped us at 6pm is offering "4pm pickup, I know a place." Sunday Randoli package was the other couple's problem. This is Saturday 4pm so we are not standing from 4.30 again. Lock the pin tonight or is 9.55 the hustle hour.

4pm Saturday is a sensible leave the hotel time for a 6.28 start, not a secret kerb. "I know a place" at 9.55 is the same family as last year's fake-guide seats. If you hire him, hire him as a pickup from the guesthouse at 16:00, not as a seat. Screenshot. Meet at your gate, not a WhatsApp pin on Dalada.
Extra Tourist Police after the fake-guide seat hustle. Official parks / the police map are the honest Saturday plan. Do not buy a kerb in a chat. Hotline 081 22 33 333 if a "reserved stone" turns into a row.
We locked a 4pm hotel pickup. The "place" was a drain. We stood further back and saw the same elephants. No invented fee - do not type a number into a forum.
