A Tuk Tuk is a 3 wheeled people carrier. A hybrid between a Scooter, a motorbike and a car. They are noisy and notorious for tipping over and weaving in and out of the busy Bangkok traffic. We hailed a Tuk Tuk driver and bartered him down from 300TB to 150TB to take us back to the hotel. He was crazy. I thought I was a little crazy behind the wheel but this guy was something else. He must of done 80KMP down the wrong side of the road, weaving in and out cars, dodging the poor people who are trying to cross the roads. Revving the engine when ever stopped and accelerating hard. So much so on one occasion we did a wheely. Thinking we had met our death at the hands of our Tuk Tuk driver we thought our travel insurance would probably not cover this. Luckily and God knows how we made it back alive and in one peace. Only the odd bruise from all the banging around.
