Thailand / Transport / Tuk-Tuks

Tuk-Tuks (also called samlor, meaning Three Wheels in English) are common in Bangkok and larger provincial towns where they operate much in the same manner as taxis. Fares are about one third cheaper than for taxis but Tuk-Tuks are open and leave the passenger exposed to the street pollution, especially annoying in Bangkok. Fares in Bangkok are 30 to 100 Baht. In some provincial towns, Tuk-Tuks operate in the same mode as passenger pickups.
