Green Transportation

The traffic in Bangkok is terrible. So we sometimes take these tuk tuks, which manage to bob and weave through all the congestion. Warning: If you have back or neck problems, a heart condition, are prone to motion sickness and/or are pregnant, this is probably not your preferred mode of transport in the city..
