A friend of mine from Zambia will be passing through Bangkok in December and he wants to buy some tuk-tuks to take to southern Africa. Does anyone know in which direction he should be pointed?

He said, in part:

"...Tuk-Tuks from Thailand as am thinking of setting

up Tuk-Tuk Tours here in Knysna. Do you know any manufacturers in

Bangkok? I am looking for the ones with the 650 cc Daihatsu engine."

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I know theres a few websites out there that you can find with a simple google search. This was was given to me when I was looking to purchase a Tuk Tuk.

There are different Tuk Tuks from town to town. Your friend may look around a bit - not just go to one town and compare there, but go to different towns.

Tuk Tuks are more common in Isarn, much more than in central Thailand. Tuk Tuk driver I know here (Manchakiri, 45 km from Khon Kaen) tell me a the best place to buy Tuk Tuks is Udon Thani. You would have no problems to find Tuk Tuk shops there, they are all over town. But for me, the Tuk Tuks that run in Ban Phai (Khon Kaen) or Sri Racha (Chonburi) look much better - it depends on what you like.
