Journey to Bangkok where you can zip through the city on a tuk-tuk, feast your eyes on juicy yellow watermelon and behold a sprawling palace.

Navigating your way through the frenzied streets of Bangkok can be a tricky task, whether by foot or by...tuk-tuk.
Tuk-tuks are auto rickshaws (sometimes called cabin cycles) and are widely used throughout Southeast Asia. They're most popular in places where traffic congestion is a real problem, like in Bangkok. They're everywhere, so finding a friendly driver to take you where you need to go isn't likely to be a problem. But you may have to barter on the fare. And you may want to hold on tight as you cruise through those crazy streets. But travelling by tuk-tuk is a fun and unique experience.
