Tuk-tuks: Tuktuks: a symbol in Bangkok

    Getting TO/AROUND: What would Bangkok be without the crazy tuktuk-drivers around? Mmmm, safe, perhaps? ;-)
    A tuktuk is a sort of motorized rickshaw and very popular in Bangkok
    Taking a tuktuk is a real experience. As tuk-tuks are open-ended, they expose passengers to the high pollution levels in the middle of Bangkok's roads and offer almost no protection in case of an accident. The drivers are going very fast and drive dangerously, but they seem to know what they are doing...

    Metered Taxis: Taxis
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: Taxis are a lot safer than tuktuks and if there isn't a lot of traffic they are much cheaper too!
    Allways ask them to turn the meter on. Normally, they do it by themselves, but after 22 pm, for some reason, all metres are broken ;-))))))) Very strange! ;-)
    If they don't want to put the meter on, then settle the price beforehand or take a tuktuk, because without a metre the price will be the same.
