About Doing a similar job to the taxi is Thailand's ubiquitous tuk-tuk so named because of the sound of their engine; these are motorized rickshaws and are popular amongst tourists for their novelty value. They are occasionally faster than taxis in heavy traffic as weaving in and out is easier, but generally about the same or slower. There are more than 35 000 tuk-tuks in the street of Thailand.

This trip was so beautiful and I'm sure that you will enjoy it too! I hop for you that you can go one time and to see all these beautiful Buddha’s. The traffic is a bit crazy and they drive very fast..:))! I preferred the Taxi-Boat at the river...more romantic too.:))) The City has a lot of smog, but anyway it was a great experience!!!
All the best to you Ray,hugsssssssss,Nicki;)

This is a wonderful shot of this famous mode of Oriental travel. A great diagonalised composure and empty or not it looks excellent. My wife's brother lives in Thailand with his Thai wife and young son....we hope to visit there one day and view this and all the other beautiful sights of this glorious country. Well done to you my dear Nicole......I hope you enjoyed your recent trip. My very best wishes to you sweetie......Ray

Yes it was romantic in some parts..but also poor.They have a lot of poor people who live along the river in wood houses,but we would have such a "house" for lumber..that's the other side.But they are always kind!!!!One day we have done a ride with a bus outside from Bangkok and when you see all this and you are going in the evening in your very luxury hotel...that's really strange and not fair!They work so very hard and they earn nothing!!!
Hugs to you,Nicki!!!

Oh Yeas a taxi-boat sounds Much more fun...I am not a motor cab/car racer... I prefer boats, bicycles, walking, anything but the cars/cabs the least !!! Bummer on the smog too... but when you're out of the city it must be beautiful :)) ANDDDDD ROMANTIC !!!
I am all for ROMANTIC :))))))
Hugs, Michele~

Well Nicole! Your photo brings back all the fond memories that I have of Thailand. You are right, Tuk Tuk can be real fast, if such contingency occurs. I remember one night when I was coming back from Khao San Road and our Tuk Tuk was giving competition to a some really costly looking imported car...and let me tell you it was a real neck and neck fight...and at the traffic jam (as you know in Bangkok, it is so common) we went ahead...ha ha...really..what fun! We cheered our driver like hell! Thanks a lot for sharing this photo...

Thaise blikvanger

Goeden morgen Nicki,Meer dan een taxi: de Thaise Tuk Tuk - nu ook in Amsterdam!! In Thailand kan dit handige tweecilindervoertuig alles zijn: van brandweer-, bestel- tot veewagen. Ook 'gepimpte' Tuk Tuks - met karaoke, discobol of zware muziekinstallatie aan boord - zijn er razend populair. Groetjes,riny
