Tuk TukBangkok's most famous mode of transport, "Tuk Tuk" are the three-wheeled open-air vehicles you see cruising the streets of Bangkok. Tuk-tuk offer an interesting way of seeing the city, but are best for shorter trips during off-peak hours - you don't want to be sat in a traffic jam in a tuk tuk in peak hours breathing in the exhaust fumes of the surrounding traffic. You must agree the fare before proceeding and theoretically it should cost less than the price of a comparable journey by metered taxi. If a tuk tuk driver offers you a very cheap fare, the chances are he is trying to take you on a guided tour of tailors and gem shops for which he will receive a commission. Beware, the prices at such stores are often inflated and they sell an inferior quality of goods. Remember, in the rainy season, riding in a tuk-tuk can be dangerous as well as rather soggy- often the tyres have very little tread on them and on the slippery roads sometimes turn over if the driver takes a corner too sharply.
Here are some pictures of Thailand Bangkok "Tuk Tuk" vehicle.
