Walk at a slow and steady pace. Do not stop or run suddenly, as drivers will predict your movement and steer around you.

Use ride hailing apps like Grab. It provides fixed pricing and GPS tracking, which prevents overcharging by local taxis.

Eat at stalls with high turnover and many locals. Ensure your food is cooked fresh and avoid ice in drinks if you have a sensitive stomach.
