Tuk Tuk!!!!!

The history of  Tuk-Tuk in thailand.

          The vehicles known as Tuk-Tuk originated in Japan by Daihatsu, it was Thailand who subsequently went into production with these vehicles many years later.  The original Thai Tuk-Tuk is found in many places in Thailand, mostly operating as an open air taxi. Tuk-tuks are often found in tourist areas, around markets, or cruising the streets for fares.
           Visitors to Thailand are usually very interested and curious about the Tuk-Tuk, a locally made and designed three-wheeled vehicle. Tourists are often seen getting their picture taken with the open-air vehicle.  

           Tuk-Tuks were invented in Thailand over 50 years ago, evolving as a motorized relative of the rickshaw. The Tuk-Tuk was given its name from the rather rough sound of the early models when it was operating, and the "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" sound became a familiar sound to many in need of quick and convenient transportation in Bangkok. The Tuk-Tuk has improved itstechnology and quality over the years, while emerging as one of Thailand's most recognizable and identifiable symbols.
