Everybody likes tuk-tuks! Who can argue with that? In all countries the first thing we discover is a public transport. Most likely, we will use tuk-tuks, because they are the cheapest and most exotic way to get somewhere inside a city (some tuk-tuks offer trips even outside cities, for example, you can easily hire Cambodian [...]

Thais have King and Buddhism, and officially they are symbols of Thailand. But, anybody, who been in Thailand, agrees the real symbol is small, noisy vehicle riding in smelling clouds of exhaust pollutions. That vehicles produced locally by small producers.

Honda Dax or Trail 70 or Daschund or ST70 – a guy from the Honda minibikes’ family. You can recognize it by a completely different frame with a streight pipe under a seat, a so-called “T-bone”.
