Yes there is, they are on monthly contracts and are happy for that. They know the routes and who they will be dealing with each day. As for tourism agreed they are poor, but for this purpose they are used daily through each of the Thai provinces. The "skylabs" up in Isaan do even more work like this. 

 

 

 

Making peanuts. Market vendors don't make much.

Please stop clutching at straws. They make a living and are happy. Do a little research into the normal Thai life.

You have been proved wrong on just about all aspects of tuk tuk use. Now you change the whole thing to the drivers dont make much money. You really are too tied up in seeing your name in print here. I have nobody on ignore, yet am tempted to put you. Like a freaking chihuahua nipping at your heels. 

[BarraMarra]

When you respond to Harrisfan your just giving him bullets to fire just ignore him he is just posting stupid threads as Click Bait. He will not respond with input he will just Diss you that's his kick I rumbled him awhile back.  How do you deal with a Troll ???

You proved nothing. You made false claims you can't back up. You're a phony. Some me the monthly income of a tuk tuk driver please.

For posting facts? Too many angry no hopers on here. Bolt is 58 baht plus in Chiang Mai. Lots of empty tuk tuks.

 

Why the angry response? Must be sad retirement.

Also, the fares haven't changed in decades? It's still 10 Baht as it always was?

 

I got on one once and a Thai woman asked me to pay her fare. Pretty funny. 10 Baht. Yeah, ok. It's on me. 

 

How do you come up with these topics? You're a genius, man.  

 

 

A Tuk-Tuk and a Baht bus are not the same things.

You seem to think that Tuk-Tuk drivers keep authorised accounts that can be posted here to "prove" your stupid request!

No, but locals know the numbers. Marin pretends to be an informed local yet has no idea like you. Fools

Pattaya tai drivers get the 200k+ in a month with the way they extort the passengers.

Must be first time tourists. Regulars use apps. Tuk tuks are so quiet in CM. Even the airport taxis are quiet now. 150 baht. Bolt 80 baht.

Harrisfan, Do you realize you've received 99 thumbs down here and I didn't add any of them, which is rather opposite of your thinking I've  given 10,000 thumbs downs with most of them to you.

 

Basically, I can't see how you would know how much these tuk tuk drivers made, even individually, unless you sat in one place all day, every day, and watched how many people they actually picked up, and then it would be only the few in that small area, let alone the thousands countrywide you'll never see. You would have to also ask them, individually, how much they are making per day, even to guess a rough estimate they make in that particular area, as all areas are quite different countrywide.

Thumbs down people are losers. 1 inch penis. Tourist tuk tuk revenue goes up and down based on seasons. Pattaya might be a hot spot year round but other towns are quiet. I have watched these guys from restaurants. Dinner time no revenue 2 hours. Ap car after ap car.  Their revenue would be low outside 1st timers who dont know better. 1st timer numbers drop by 50 to 80% in low season.

 

Their best bet is a temple tour 3 people share the cost. Do a few a day. That rarely happens now in CM. The aps are king.

 

The estimates just above 100 baht a hour look right to me.

As others have replied, tuk tuks are also used for deliveries. You can only be in one place at a time, and only for a short period, so you should be able to understand you see only a tiny fraction of 1% of the tuk tuks that are used daily here. Even if you took a poll, you wouldn't get anywhere near an accurate figure as this is Thailand, and things here are greatly exaggerated, especially where money is concerned.

 

Making up numbers isn't going to work as this is a business like all others, and only if it was recorded like the Taxis (besides the scammers), would you get anywhere near an accurate number of how much money  the drivers  make. Here it's off the books, so no figure is possible for anything besides individuals you would know personally who wouldn't lie. Only If they all told the truth would you know how much they all make per hour, day, week or year. You can't be anywhere besides one place at a time, and only from that location would you get any idea what happens, even if you stood all day long watching and recording what they make.

Most Thais make 8,000 to 16,000 a month outside Bangkok. If one business is juicy people go into it.

Quotations on how much people make here are many times guesses, going by what the most have said they make, the average being 200-300 baht in the country and 500 a day in the cities, at shops, on farms, restaurants and 10,000 a month at 7-11's and other stores of that type. With drivers it varies, so the numbers are still assumed. 13,000 to 19,000 depending on area. Tuk tuks 500-1500 a day. The average Thai makes around 16,000 baht a month, all inclusive. Amazon coffee, KFC, McD's around 10,000-15,000 also.
