New Age TUKTUKs

Am having trouble sleeping at my first night here in Phuket. So I decided to stroll along the area and look for Tuktuks here in Patong Beach. In front of Family Mart, gusy will always get your attention and ask you “Tuktuk?,” simply offering a ride. I was looking for a 3-wheeled vehicle or a tricycle but these are the new Tuktuks, the 4-wheeled mini van or the 2-wheeled motorcycles for a back ride. I guess that Tuktuks nowadays are defined as public transportations.

My friends tell me that riding Tuktuks will give you an adrenaline rush. I’ve seen it pass-by the street and it was not a daring ride. Maybe its different in Bangkok, where most stories told. In Bangkok, drivers were daredevils. They ride at their optimum speed like crazy…I have to ride with them. When I get in Bangkok, I will surely take the dare!
