Nothing captures the spirit of Bangkok quite like the cheerful hum of a tuk tuk weaving through the city. More than transport, it is a symbol of Thai ingenuity, colorful, compact, and full of charm.
Born from the post-war samlor, today’s tuk tuk remains a lively part of city life. Every ride tells its own story, with garlands on the dashboard, neon lights flashing past temples and street stalls, and the rush of wind and laughter.
From Chatrium Hotel Riverside, ride to the Grand Palace or Wat Pho, then explore night markets where sizzling woks and glowing lanterns fill the air. Eco-friendly electric tuk tuks now glide quietly through the same streets, showing how tradition and modernity can move side by side.
Hop on, hold tight, and see Bangkok from its most iconic seat, the open-air rhythm of the city itself.
