Travel Pro Tip #47: Getting around Bangkok by Tuk Tuk with Special Guest Lilly Wang! (2 min video)

in #dtube • 5 years ago

Hey there friends and followers. In this short video I show you what it's like to get around Bangkok Thailand in one of the most common forms of public transportation, tuk-tuk! This is basically an outfitted motorbike. It's like a rickshaw motor bike combination. They are very common all over South East Asia especially in Bangkok.

You will have to do a little negotiating to get the best deal, and have a good idea of the going rates. One way to do that is to ask a Thia person that is just working in a store or on the street, and this way there is no conflict of interest. As a foreigner in their country they will almost always try to get more money out of you than if transporting a local.

In this Video Lilly and I take a tuk tuk from the biggest most famous mall in Bangkok, MBK mall. We go to the backpacker Mecca of the World Khao San Road. We have a little interaction with the driver and you get brief glimpse of Khao San Road at the end. Now come along, let's go!

With over 12 years of travel experience I answer travel and international lifestyle questions. Leave a question in the comments and I may make a Steemit post just for you!

    It's really fun to get around Bangkok by tuk tuk. Why is it called tuk tuk? Is it because its voice is sounding tuk-tuk?

    That is a good question! But honestly, I have no idea why it's called a tuk-tuk. But they are fun to get around in.
