Valentine Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I just saw a tuk tuk perched on top of the median strip outside the TOT office. Looks like he turned over about 20m of dirt & plants & fertilizing with his engine oil. Another great example of the driving standards on the island.

madmitch Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was about to post the same. Puncture on one tyre I noticed. But absolutely perfectly positioned in the middle of the strip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have damaged the sump as there was oil leaking. I try to imagine why it ended up there & can only think he was trying to overtake & the other car would not let him in so the only place to go was over the strip.

ScubaBuddha Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What do you call a Phuket tuk tuk broke down on the side (or middle) of the road? A start. 1 down, 3,374 to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
