Tuk Tuk


We left the choatic streets of Bangkok to search for peace and quiet in Kanchanarubi. I was amazing that a short taxi ride to the bus station allowed us to catch a bus within 5 minutes and we were on our way! Not to mention the fact is cost us about $3 to travel the whole way!!! wtf. Upon our arrival we caught the first Tuk Tuk that grabbed our bags and put them on a little pole on that back of his bike. To make this image more clear I think I need to describe exactly what a tuk tuk is... well its a little man on a bike with a chair/small bench on the back. So with our packs on the back, the thing already weighs double what this little man does. Then we hop in... this thing is meant for one. We barely fit on, we are sitting on top of each other and are moving at a snails pace. The poor man is dripping in sweat and we are laughing so hard, half from embarrasment, half from emphathy and the hilarity of the situation. We arrive to our guest house, check in and it was all that easy... despite the poor mans effort of course. Priceless!
