Chang_paarp Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Where did they go? I was harrassed by a Tuk Tuk driver last week. That was quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

game4shame Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Is it true that Tuk Tuks are gone from BKK? I'd be surprised if that happened. Tuk-tuks are a cult tourist attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Is it true that Tuk Tuks are gone from BKK? I'd be surprised if that happened. Tuk-tuks are a cult tourist attraction. They're a symbol of Thailand. Still plenty of them lined up at the Tesco-Lotus on Ratchada. Tons of them at the talad Huai Khwang. Where is the OP getting his info from?

awarrumbungle Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Sorry my mistake. Translation error. It was actually "subarus" that got banned or something. I think they are the minbuses that pick up bus customers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If Tuk Tuks weren't around who'd kidnap the tourists and take them to look at gem stones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I like the larger tuk-tuks in Hua Hin (we have both sizes). Two benches in the back, facing one another. Two couples can go out together. Also, when we make the big purchases at Tesco-Lotus, it all fits in the bigger tuk-tuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game4shame Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The best way to travel - Safety, comfort and a hassle free journey everytime! What's going on in the back of that tuk-tuk? That look's like a textbook 'come' face to me! There's a time and a place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Yen Yen Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Is it true that Tuk Tuks are gone from BKK? Absolutely - no tuk-tuks anywhere. And no more massage parlours either. And the police salute every tourist. And back-packers don't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingnongnoi Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Sorry my mistake. Translation error. It was actually "subarus" that got banned or something. I think they are the minbuses that pick up bus customers??? what the Thai's refer to as Subaru's is the small van type ones that run up and down some soi's and usually hold 6 people in the back on bench seats and charge 5 or 6 baht a person, soi 39 has some as does 93, I dont think they have gone either as saw some working off Ramkamhaeng yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastender Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm guessing perhaps you mean Samlors, the three wheeled bicycle perhaps? I was very surprised yesterday to see they now have these in London outside the theaters near Leicester Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine those being banned... and with regards to Tuk Tuks being banned, that seems a bit unimaginable also, considering all the reports I've seen about the launch of new eco friendly tuk tuks and moves to help people own their tuks tuks rather than paying extortionate rental fees... totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backflip Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I'm sorry, it's another translation error. I meant to write "I lost my drug prescription, and I don't know my a$$ from a hole in the ground." I apologize for the confusion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
