ALHOLK Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 About 20 years ago I often went by tuktuk between NEP and PP. Around midnight there wasn't much traffic and I was always amazed that I survived the trip. ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioman Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 HA, first time in Bangkok walking to Nana. Walked from the Hyatt Erawan toward Suk. Got as far as the railway and asked a Tuk Tuk if he would take me there. No problem sir! Back down Ploenchit, up Wireless, along Petchaburi, down Soi 3 and into Soi 4. 50 Baht and I was 100 metres away, oh sanuk maak maak! Could feel the vibration in my butt right up until my first TG plonked her bare naked self in my lap. What a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 When I lived up north, we had tuk-tuks with seats like a rot-song-thaeo that roamed around town as a bus substitute. You'd hop in, tell the driver where you were going and he'd make his rounds of the city. When you got off, you paid the fare. I know someone who on his first trip to Bangkok rode a tuk-tuk from Sukhumwit to Don Muang Airport! Took him a while to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 .... You'd hop in, tell the driver where you were going and he'd make his rounds of the city. When you got off, you paid the fare.... You get into a vehicle, you tell the driver where you want to go and when you get there you pay the driver. Sounds like a novel method of transport. Perhaps you should patent it before it catches on elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allistar Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Unfortunately, now you tell the tuk tuk driver where you want to go and you get there, after stopping at a gem shop, tailor and anywhere else he can get a fuel voucher. My first trip to Bangkok, I took a Tuk Tuk from the Grand Palace to Amari Boulevard at rush hour. Not a pleasant way to travel, smelling fuel vapors and having my vision cut off from the slopped roof of the tuk tuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
