I think the most important part of all this is always to look and act confident, and trust your instincts. In countries where you do get lots of touts and so on, it's always a really fine line between not being taken for a ride, and closing yourself off to the wonderful, seredipitous encounters that make travel so fulfilling.

Being dropped off in the middle of nowhere by a tuk tuk driver will leave you looking confused and at a map and hence you will be approached by 'helpful' people, I know! Sometimes it just isn't avoidable. Practise helps with all this.
