Tuk tuk Mania!!!
By Sze Ning
We have already tried five modes of transportation here in Bangkok. We have taken cabs, the bus, the train, and most commonly, we walked. The most exciting way to get around the city is–hands down– the tuk tuk.
Thus far, our biggest convoy on the tuk tuk was after the Queer Conference on Friday. It took four tuk tuks to take all 19 of us back to the Khao San area, near our hotel.
Second in line
The editorial team in a tuk tuk flew past us so fast, resulting in this barely visible picture of them.
Wwwwweeeee
Tuk tuks are not much cheaper than cabs and if you are an unsuspecting traveler, it might cost you a bomb. It offers none of the comforts of a well cushioned cab while offering you dangers akin to traveling by a motorbike.
Well, maybe more dangerous. We went to the OTHER SIDE of the road quite often in our 20 minutes journey. Gasp.
However, their small size and daredevil drivers make them a handy mode of transport during the rush hour.
This was why we took a tuk tuk.
I am delighted to report that all four tuk tuks brought us all home safe and in good time yesterday.
Sight of the Democracy Monument is a sight of relief to all of us traveling via public transportation, as Khao San road where we live is only a stone’s throw away from this majestic monument.
