Tuk Tuk Thailand

Visitors to Thailand are usually

very interested and curious about

the Tuk-Tuk, a locally made and

designed three-wheeled vehicle.

Tourists are often seen getting their

picture taken with the open-air vehicle,

and heard swapping tales of their

experiences with the charming

little machine.

Tuk-Tuks were invented in Thailand

over 50 years ago, evolving as a

motorized relative of the rickshaw.

The Tuk-Tuk was given its name from

the rather rough sound of the early

models. The single stroke motor

powering the first three-wheelers had

a distinctive hum when operating, and

the "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" sound

became a familiar sound to many

in need of quick and convenient

transportation in Bangkok.

The Tuk-Tuk was emerging as one of

Thailand's most recognizable and

identifiable symbols.
