Bangkok's tuk-tuk
is
one of Thailand's endearing symbols and a home-grown product that developed
from the samlors and rickshaws of yesteryear. A wealthy Chinese resident
probably brought the very first rickshaw to Bangkok in 1871. The innovation
quickly caught on and became so popular that by 1901 the government
was forced to limit the numbers of rickshaws in the interests of public
safety. The samlor-a bicycle powered pedicab, later took over from the
rickshaw but this too was outlawed in Bangkok in the late 1950s as being
a traffic hazard. Samlors are still very common in many provinces.
The
motorized tuk-tuk brought the solution to Bangkok's transport need around
1960. Safe, stable and yet open, allowing a free passage of air, the
tuk-tuk has become
a symbol of Bangkok. The modern-day tuk-tuks are environment-friendly,
running on 4-stroke, 250 cc LPG or CNG engines. They are designed to
seat up to three passengers with additional space for baggage, but very
often many more than this will squeeze into the back. Manufactured in
Thailand, tuk-tuks are now exported to many countries worldwide.
Our fleet of tuk-tuks are maintained
in tip-top condition and covered by full third-party
insurance. Our drivers are licensed by the government and fully
qualifided. They are also polite and very
friendly.
