"TUK-TUK"




If you happen to have a chance to visit Thailand, you must take a ride in a "TUK-TUK." It is an old fashioned taxi that have been around for at least 30 years. It can be much faster and cheaper than taxi when traffic is heavy.
It's essential to bargain the price with tuk-tuks before getting in. If you only ask after the ride, it's likely to end in a request for an ridiculous fare which can obviously lead to an unpleasant situation.
