OK, not terror. I just thought that it would sound exciting.
Actually, it was hella fun! After spending the end part of the evening hanging out at the Suan-Lum Night Bazaar (the BKK version of Mong Kok’s night markets) walking past embassies and the most expensive, formal English Pub that I’ve ever seen, we decided to take a tuk-tuk back.
Basically, these are long wheelbase motortrikes that have no doors or panels. It’s pretty close to the same sensation of riding a motorbike except you’re sitting on a proper seat. I mean, when I’m getting this kind of speed sensation with the wind, I’m usually in leather along with a nice fitting Shoei helmet.
It’s exciting, especially when the driver is whipping through traffic. Did I mention, cheap? These are not metered like cabs so you gotta negotiate a fare before you get in.
