Familyaffairs Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Phuket's honest, benevolent tuk tuk drivers, monuments of integrity, kindness, flexibility and true hospitable ambassadors for the island treated in such a horrid way one might ponder....

Chicog Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This is a Phuket tuk tuk. Which is why the drivers pester you with "tuk tuk" and not "songthaew" or "baht bus". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 For the pedants, these vehicles are called tuk tuks by everyone in Phuket Province. The little 3 wheeled things found elsewhere can't get up the hills here. Amazing that when the low life is a Brit. how so many want to make excuses for them. It's a different story if an Australian stuffs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somchai jones Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Gotta chuckle at the usual suspects from the TV bitter brigade........inevitable that they'd blame the Thai driver for having his own wallet stolen......is it any wonder that the Thai Visa WOFs (whinging old farts) are considered a laughing stock by the other ex pats here........

They are based on Subaru Sambar truck. But you enter from the side rather than two rows (songtaews). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another fail for the BIB. And am not saying this idiot deserved to get his stuff stolen, but not locking his door is a pretty dumb move by any standards So have you ever made a "pretty dumb move" in your life? Of course not, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Darn, was hoping a whitey had driven off with a real tuk-tuk. That woulda been worth a laugh, but instead we have a petty pilferer (by the looks). Never mind, I'm sure the tuk-tuk driver will get over it and make up for it; he's probably ripping tourists off everyday in any case. Score: farangs - 1 / tuk-tuk drivers - about 999,999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This is a Songthaew, otherwise known as "Baht bus". Which is why the drivers do not pester you with "tuk tuk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some small songtaews used as buses on rural routes. Most regard a songtaew as a get on/get off vehicle with random stops- this is NOT how the tuk tuks operate.

denkiblue555 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Maybe people in Phuket call them tuk-tuks, but they are not. The Thai road laws treat tuk-tuks very differently to four-wheel vehicles..... but I realise this is getting into semantics. Same, same, but different?
