In Thailand, what three-wheeled vehicle is commonly used as a taxi in Bangkok and some provinces?
Show answer
Tuk-tuk
The tuk-tuk is a motorized development of the earlier cycle rickshaw, becoming an iconic symbol of Thai urban life and tourism. Its distinctive name is an onomatopoeia, mimicking the sputtering "tuk-tuk-tuk" sound made by the small two-cycle engines used in older models.
