Tuktuk
Tuktuk is a three-wheeler Thai taxi that is rather more ubiquitous than any other vehicles all across the country.
In Bangkok they are stationed at the tourists destinations like temples and night markets.
My first time to ride in a tuktuk was when my Ilocandia friends took me out to the heart of the city. We went to Patpong, the red district. And since there were too many of us to get in one taxi, we took the tuktuk instead. It looks small but it can carry more people than a taxi can.
My, oh my, how the driver fly! He sped up as if to impress us and even had the front wheel go up and I thought we were going to tip over. It was so dangerous and I almost had a heart attack. But in the end, I enjoyed it.
