This has happened to us every trip except the first one. I never have had the porters grab our luggage without asking us first but on payment time demanding A$20. They certainly know what bugger off means. I also have never had a porter push pass other passengers to get you through customs nor would I expect them to. Have seen customs go through people,s luggage who don't use porters. I usually give them 20,000rp.
