Flickr fun

Having just got back from Thailand, thought I'd search Flickr for a recognizable picture. I found one. Go to the following link, http://www.flickr.com/photos/danielbos/342865275/, and take a look at a "tuk tuk (toook toook)" or a three wheeled taxi-like automobile. If you're brave enough, these are a fantastic and resonably priced way to see Thailand. My friends and I got two tuk tuks for the day and got to see so many awesome sites and had the hassle of finding transport taken from our minds. We got to see the Luck Buddha temple in Bangkok, the Grand Palace (the one spoken of in the book The English Governess at the Siamese Court.), and numerous other temples. Our two drivers were like our own personal tour guides. We had loads of fun and they got a pretty nice tip and a generous gas coupon from one of our stops our guides insisted upon. All in all, if you get the chance to travel to Thailand, tuk tuks are the way to go.
