Tuk-tuk, Thailand

A tuk tuk driver relaxing in his tuk-tuk. He seemed to be taking a break. This tuk tuk looked very strange to me. I was wondering which direction it would move. Seeing the rear view mirror I assume it would move right to left in the picture. Tourists will be seated in front and the driver would steer them to places I guess. That would be quite an effort too. What do you think?


The shot was taken in Sukhothai, Thailand. Presenting this shot here for the topic “LEISURE” for Thursday Challenge.

I think tuk tuks can move either way !

This is a fascinating (and colorful) vehicle. I'll bet it would be a good way for a photographer to see the sights.

These Tuk tuk are such fun to ride in, you get such an unusual view of the other traffic.

how colorful!

Oh how this reminds me of my life in Khartoum, Sudan! This is indeed a much more colourful tuk-tuk than I'm used to Indrani. It looks as though it should move from right to left but why the single wheel at the "back" with two wheels in the front. In any event, it makes for good touring and getting great photos. Hope you're having a lovely day. Greetings, Jo

I thought we were going to have an accident first time I was in one of these, but no, the driver was very skilful!
