The road looks straight to me so they must have had a tire blown out or all the passengers were sitting on one side of the Tuk Tuk jumping up and down???

5-up in a Tuk Tuk.... must have been cosy.

Last time I rode tuk tuk. Both of us (me and driver) agreed 200 baht. In the middle of journey he asked me where do I came from, and asked me to add more 400 baht. I didn't agree with him and suddently he gas his tuk tuk as fast as possible hope that myfamily scare and agree with his request. After that I never want to ride tuk tuk again.
