Tuk-Tuk: It's part of the Thai expe

Tuk-Tuk: It's part of the Thai experience to try a tuk-tuk at least once, however as a general rule, it's best to avoid them as a primary means of transportation. If you must use a tuk-tuk, unlike a taxi, you have to negotiate the fare to your destination first, and don't pay until your safe arrival. Do not let them take you to tailors, gem stores, or anywhere else that you didn't ask to go. Do not let them talk you into sightseeing, and other "special" sites. If a Tuk Tuk driver offers a fare below THB50 they will try to take you to other locations. A Tuk Tuk ride is a fun thing to do, but just let them know exactly where you want to go and tell them you'll pay THB50.
