Tuk Tuk Ride

Bem legal andar de Tuk Tuk na Tailandia... lembra moto taxi no Brasil! Tuk-tuk (tailandês: ตุ๊กตุ๊ก or ตุ๊กๆ, IPA: /ˈðʊkˈðʊk/) é um triciclo com cabine para transporte de dois ou três passageiros muito utilizado em grandes cidades da Índia e do sudeste asiático, nas quais o trânsito é muito congestionado.An auto rickshaw or tuk tuk (auto, autorick or rickshaw in popular parlance) is a motorised vehicle that is one of the chief modes of transport across many parts of South and East Asia, especially as a vehicle for hire. It is a motorized version of the traditional rickshaw or velotaxi, a small three-wheeled cart driven by a person, and is related to the cabin cycle. Auto rickshaws are particularly popular where traffic congestion is a problem. They are common in many Asian cities like Bangkok, Delhi[1], Mumbai [2], Hyderabad, and Bangalore,[3] and some can be seen on the streets of China Town in LondonAn auto rickshaw is generally characterized by a sheet-metal body or open frame that rests on three wheels, a canvas roof with drop-down sides, a small cabin in the front of the vehicle for the driver (called an auto-wallah in some areas), and seating space for three in the rear. They are generally fitted with an air-cooled scooter version of a two-stroke engine with handlebar controls instead of a steering wheel. Auto rickshaws are light vehicles and only two or three drivers are required to fully lift one off the ground, which may be necessary when one breaks down. The construction and characteristics of auto rickshaws make them an extremely unsafe class of vehicle. Accidents can result in serious chassis damage, and can easily be fatal to commuters. Additionally, the auto rickshaw has an extremely small turning radius since it is steered with a handlebar, a result of which is the weaving through traffic and flouting of lane discipline of auto rickshaws on Indian roadstuk-tuk in Thailand, is a widely used form of urban transport in Bangkok and other Thai cities, as well as other major Southeast Asian and South Asian cities. It is particularly popular where traffic congestion is a major problem, such as in Bangkok.oing a similar job to the taxi is Thailand's ubiquitous tuk-tuk (ตุ๊กตุ๊ก). 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. Without any luggage, 3 people can fit into one fairly comfortably - it's possible to fit more in but it gets a bit cramped. Fares always have to be bargained for, and it is sometimes possible to bargain tuk-tuk drivers down to less than the taxi flagfall of 35B when they make good value. Most times, they offer no savings over a taxi, except perhaps if you're good at bargaining and can speak good Thai. The initial price they quote is likely to be well over the going rate, but it's easy to bargain it down to a more reasonable one if you know roughly the equivalent taxi fare. It's essential to bargain the price with tuk-tuks before getting in. If you only ask after the ride, it's likely to end in a request for an ridiculous fare which can obviously lead to an unpleasant situation. Just like taxi drivers, the tuk-tuk drivers mostly come from the rural northeast of Thailand and don't have to undergo any training (some will not even have passed a driving test), so don't be surprised if they sometimes have no idea where your destination is. A subtle point to remember when in one is not to rest your feet on the rail near the drivers head, as doing so is extremely disrespectful towards the driver. 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. There is theoretically a ban on new tuk-tuks as they are so noisy and polluting, but it doesn't really seem to be being enforced at present. Nevertheless, many of the local residents are not too enamoured with tuk-tuks nowadays and, were it not for their popularity with tourists, the days of the tuk-tuk on the streets of Bangkok would surely be numbered.
